Ricky Gervais Works to Temper Expectations for His New Film
We took a look at the trailer for The Invention of Lying, the latest project from Ricky Gervais, back on Monday, and, well, we weren't exactly bowled over with anticipatory delight. Well, in an entry on his blog, Gervais himself seems to be working to ensure people view this project in the proper context: Dear critics (everyone), when judging the film, please remember that it is a high concept, PG 13 romantic comedy. It's not Shindler's List [sic] or The Godfather. If you compare it to serious works of genius it will not fair that well. If you compare it to many other lighthearted comedy movies it will do rather well. Duly noted.

News Roundup: Meg White, James Brown, A Camp, Seaport Music Festival
--Meg White married Jackson Smith, the son of Patti Smith and late MC5 guitarist Fred Sonic Smith Friday in Jack White's backyard in Nashville. Could there be a more awesome wedding song than Ball and Biscuit?--James Brown's family got a brand new bag. Of money. A South Carolina judge approved a settlement yesterday that gives around a quarter of Brown's assets to his widow and young son, a quarter to his children (some of whom are apparently still being discovered), and the rest to charity. The Godfather of Soul died on Christmas Day in 2006. --A Camp, who we interviewed yesterday, is planning to release Covers, which is, surprise, an all-covers EP. The Nina Persson-led trio will cover Pink Floyd's Us and Them, Bowie's Keep on Swinging, and live staple I've Done It Again, by Grace Jones. [Read more]

Steven Soderbergh Latest to Praise James Cameron's Avatar
Join the club! Is there anyone that we haven't heard from yet who has seen a glimpse of James Cameron's Avatar and been amazed? Oscar winning director Steven Soderbergh was the latest to chime in on just how groundbreaking and revolutionary Avatar will be. ComingSoon was talked with Soderbergh during the Tribeca Film Festival and when talking about why he thought recent films didn't have quite the impact or longevity as classics, he stopped to bring up Avatar. At first he said that the volume of movies being made and seen make it hard for anything to have the cultural impact of a movie like The Godfather anymore.But then Soderbergh said Avatar could be one of those benchmark movies again. I've seen some stuff and holy sh*t. It's the craziest sh*t ever. That could negate everything I just s [Read more]

Classic film gangsters hold mystique we can't refuse
1. The Godfather (1974)Nothing gets deeper into the psychology of organized crime than Francis Ford Coppola's story (adapted from Mario Puzo's novel) of the Corleone family. No one portrays a more iconic mob-boss mien than a marblemouthed Marlon Brando as Don Corleone, making an offer you can't refuse. No other mafia saga submerged itself so deep in murky morality. The horse's head in the bed, the baptism sequence cross-cut with multiple murders, the tomato-garden scene with Vito and his grand [Read more]

Chris Christie, The Godfather and what not to say to an Italian
Yes, Christie should be offended, and here's why. Because while it is considered to be of bad taste to hint, even the slightest, in regard to ethnicity and ethnic minorities, particularly if it is not flattering, it is still acceptable in polite conversation, and not so polite conversation, to make mafia references out in the open. All this Despite the fact that all ethnic groups, starting with the Irish, then Jews, then Italians, American Blacks, Greeks, Pols,and the Russians etc..are involved [Read more]

Pop culture Q&A: What was that TV series?
A: In 1977, NBC televised a re-edited version of the first two Godfather films, with some new material and the events arranged chronologically, as a miniseries; it was later released on VHS as The Godfather 1902-1959: The Complete Epic. A later VHS set was released called The Godfather Trilogy 1901-1980; it wove together footage from all three Godfather films with new material. I have seen both sets for sale through online retailers, including Amazon.com. But neither has made its way to [Read more]

Godfather Vinyl Doll Will Make
The Godfather movies are classic films that should be within everyone's ‘must-see before I die list' (at least Godfather I and II). Most fans probably seen those movies at least 20 times each and can recall lines, scenes and actual phrases at a snap of a finger. With that, many different remakes, parodies and actual products were released, but this specific vinyl doll just seems to hit the spot. [Read more]

Review: Tetro
Review: Tetroby Nick Schager Jun 11th 2009 // 9:03PMFrancis Ford Coppola may never again craft a classic like The Godfather, but after years spent toiling on bland studio fare – as well as 2007's ambitious, muddled Youth Without Youth – the director regains his mojo with Tetro, a saga of familial strife and Oedipal conflict equally indebted to '60s euro cinema and the theatrical traditions of Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller. An independently financed gem, Coppola's first self- [Read more]

Coppola's unhinged dream world
That brings us back to Tetro, and if you suspect I might be grading this movie on a curve because it's such an imperfect and brave young man's movie made by Francis Coppola, I will happily plead guilty. Certainly it isn't the greatest of Coppola's pictures, or even of his independent productions, but those are pretty high standards. It has a verve and vitality that's been missing from his pictures for 25 years, and its various and visible flaws all result from too much of that verve rather tha [Read more]
