had more thoughts on The Godfather, Part III, and The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. Like to hear them hear them go. Not safe for work, BTW.

On the “Team Deakins” podcast, Villeneuve reunites with Roger and James Deakins, who served as the director’s cinematography team on “Prisoners,” “Sicario,” and “Blade Runner 2049.”
A remake of “Death Wish” hit theaters and created controversy due to its apparent pro-gun stance. Director Eli Roth insists the movie is no more pro-gun than, say, “John Wick.”
