Black on Black

Cinemascope's Yair Raveh reviews Kim Aubrey's 18-minute doc about the restoration of the first two Godfather films, and which will be included in the Godfather "Coppola Restoration" DVD and Blu-ray set that comes out in the fall. (The third Godfather film was also worked on, but who cares...am I right?)

Jeff, you should use your pulpit to argue for a Gordon Willis lifetime achievement Oscar next spring...

Jeff you are right; who cares about part 3?

The last half hour of part three is as good as Francis has ever been.

Unfortunately, you have to sit through the first two and a half hours to get there - including Sophia's performance. Not good.

Sophia's a better actress than she is "filmmaker."

Folks,

During the first season of The Sopranos, Christopher comes out west and meets with a rapper, who's name escapes me.

The rapper was speaking about Godfather III and said, "It's misunderstood."

Yes, but Sofia is a better actress and filmmaker than Sophia.

I just want to see Godfather III at the New Beverly, so I don't have to play it on dvd, but they never seem to want to screen it, either. And they played Temple of Doom.

Godfather III was only remastered. So yeah, the first two were the restorations and the third was just remastered to 4K I believe.

Sofia, Sophia wasn't that horrible, or was I stoned when I saw GF 3?

The Sopranos rapper was called Massive Genius.

I concur that the final act of Godfather III is pretty damned great.
There are other really good moments through the movie, it just doesn't hold together the way the others do.

And George Hamilton is as much of a distraction as a Sophia, not because he's BAD because he's a) not Duvall and b) a pop culture joke on par with William Shatner.

Can I also say that "Emulsional Rescue" is just a genius name for film restoration doc?

The nike air force ones would even have numerous refreshed editions which achieves almost a total of 800 million dollars annually as a revenue account. Our team here in BAK even mentioned once in our postings that Nelly even added something exciting to it by coming up with a song called the Air Force Ones as an expression of his love for the iconic product. Nelly, as a leading hip hop sensation made an amazing influence to the overall popularity standing of the Nike shoe model.
