Defending THE GODFATHER, PART III

 by Brian Keiper

Earlier this year, a friend of mine announced on Facebook that she would be watching The Godfather trilogy for the first time. Naturally, she was flooded with comments along the lines of “you’ve never seen The Godfather?” and “wow, the first two are so good!” Along with these were firm warnings to “just watch the first two” and not to “even bother with Part III.” Well, I found myself getting surprisingly riled up by these kinds of comments. But, to be honest, they really didn’t come as much of a surprise. The Godfather, Part III has been maligned for three decades now by critics, audiences, episodes of The Sopranos, and on and on. But is it really the raging dumpster fire we’ve been conditioned to believe it is?

ARACHNOPHOBIA: The "Thrill-omedy" Turns Thirty

by Brian Keiper
I must have been four or five, all dressed up and getting ready to go to church. My mom was standing behind me brushing my hair as we both stood in front of our large bathroom mirror. Suddenly, her face went ashen and her expression turned to stone-faced seriousness.

“Hold still!” she said, “there’s a spider in your hair.”

As I write these words, I still feel the terror I felt as a little kid in that moment. Would it bite me? How long had it been there? Had it laid eggs?

“April fool,” my mom said.
