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?

Review: The Bling Ring (Adam Riske's Take)

by Adam Riske

The Bling Ring is a terrific movie and well worth seeking out. It has big ideas and something worthwhile to say about “the worst generation.” There is a lot of blame to go around – parents, dime-store philosophies, reality television, TMZ and other gossip rags, etc. The brilliance of The Bling Ring is that it’s done in a way that’s very funny and entertaining. It’s not at all heavy-handed. You’re in the thieves' shoes. You get the big party.

Riske Business: The Films of Sofia Coppola

The most enjoyable part of my 2013 movie-watching summer has been going back and catching up on old favorites. I’ve watched a bunch of Star Trek, all of the Fast and Furious movies and the Before Sunrise trilogy, but no revisit was more of a pleasure than the filmography of Sofia Coppola.

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (March 15)

The first preview featured after the jump is Somebody Up There Likes Me, starring Parks and Rec's Nick Offerman. Why am I telling you this in my usually off-topic-yet-always-hilarious preamble? Because the official trailer, while serviceable (more on that below), is actually less interesting than the two YouTube "promos" featuring Offerman (and very special guests) acting the fool -- while high -- with irreverent, funny, new wave results. Take a look at them here and here. The second one's better, specifically the close-up of Alison Brie saying, "Pussy." Director Bob Byington's might be onto something.
