The Godfather: Review

It's not just getting better with age: Each passing year only confirms its status as one of the greatest American movies ever made. Francis Ford Coppola's moody and murderous gangster masterpiece succeeds as both popular entertainment and high art, and forever changed the popular perception of organized crime. Implying strong parallels between the workings of the Mafia and those of any other profit-making corporation, Coppola imparted operatic gravity to liberal doses of violence. With Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall and James Caan. THE GODFATHER SAGA: In 1977, Francis Ford Coppola went back and combined his two greatest films — The Godfather and The Godfather Part II — into a single, multigenerational saga. Coppola shuffled scenes into chronological order and included footage that had been deleted from the original releases, and the result was more than the mere sum of its parts.

Trail Leads Robert Duvall Back to TV | Today's News: Our Take | 6/22/2006
It is, as they say out on the range, a sight for sore eyes to see Robert Duvall back on TV in AMC's first-ever original movie, Broken Trail. The two-part, four-hour film (airing Sunday and Monday at 8 pm/ET) stars Duvall as grizzled cowboy Print Ritter, who leads his estranged, taciturn nephew Tom Harte (Thomas Haden Church) on a harrowing horse drive from Oregon to Wyoming.
The ragtag travelers embark on your classic Western odyssey, complete with smallpox, bloodshed and outlaws, but with a twist: Duvall, who also served as executive producer, was intent on putting people, not shoot-'em-ups, center stage. "I tried to say, 'Let's just keep this very s read more
I don't know why the media ... | Matt Roush | 3/27/2006
Question: I don't know why the media persists in comparing the ratings between The Sopranos and Desperate Housewives! Hello! Not everyone in the country has HBO, or even cable, in their homes! How can the media dream up this "competition" when the audiences aren't the same? Answer: Of course, you're right, but it's still a story. Maybe not so much the actual numbers, which are interesting if you compare Sopranos with its past performance rather than with its competition. Because in reality, HBO's primary competition is with its past success, and by that measure, The Sopranos has fallen a bit. Although still hefty by cable standards, The Sopranos is and always has been a special case, being HBO's breakthrough breakout hit. All of this leads to natural speculation and examination about whether the show took too long in coming back to recapture its peak audience, whether people are watching HBO differently (on multinight replays or On Demand), whether HBO has lost some of its pop-culture ... read more

Question: Renee Zellweger has been nominated for an Oscar three years in a row. Can you tell me how many other times this has happened? Has anyone ever pulled it off more than three times in a row? Thanks!Answer: William Hurt and Russell Crowe have both been nominated for best actor three times in a row, Hurt for Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985), Children of a Lesser God (1986) and Broadcast News (1987) — he won for Kiss of the Spider Woman — and Crowe for The Insider (1999), Gladiator (2000) and A Beautiful Mind (2001). Crowe won for Gladiator. And just for the record, Zellweger's three-in-a-row nominations were for Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), Chicago (2002) and Cold Mountain (2003); the third time was the lucky one for her. In the past, Elizabeth Ta read more
