DVD LINKS: RELEASE DATES | NEW DVDS | REVIEWS | RSS FEED The Godfather Trilogy: The Coppola Restoration Was there ever a question what I was going to lead with this week? Paramount's restoration of the Godfather trilogy is a godsend and I already brought you the trailer, a 2001 vs. 2008 comparison as well as my review. However, I forgot to mention in the review that Steven Spielberg was actually the one that approached Paramount's Brad Grey on behalf of Francis Ford Coppola asking to begin the restoration on his "first" day when DreamWorks and Paramount teamed up. Strange the restored version would come out only a few days after Paramount and DreamWorks split. BUY THE TRILOGY: DVD Trilogy | Blu-Ray Trilogy

Feel that chill in the air? That's because you left the kitchen window open -- go on, I'll wait -- but that secondary chill you're feeling would be the multiplex yuletide season turning in our direction, ready and waiting to melt the bleep out of your heart. Last year, it was This Christmas and The Perfect Holiday begging to be mistaken for one another (in title, not in quality).
This year we've got at least two winter-themed family-minded dramedies waiting in the wings. First out the gate is Nothing Like The Holidays (the trailer's now up at Apple), in which a Hispanic-American family gathers for what might be their last Christmas spent together. Sooooo ... it's basically This Christmas, with the casting emphasis on a different minority. However, for all that film's familiar beats, I found myself surprisingly won over, so here's

Like peanut butter and jam, Christmas and movies seem to go hand in hand, the magic of the holiday season complimented by the magic of film. Lovely Still embraces the magic of both mediums right from its 3 minute long opening scene, and I was flooded with all the warmth and love of gooey Christmas memories past. Robert Malone (Martin Landau) is an elderly bachelor who has admittedly, spent too many Christmas.s alone. This Christmas, he wants nothing more than a family to spend the holiday with. One night, like a Christmas present sent from Heaven, Robert arrives home to find a beautiful woman named Mary (Ellen Burstyn) in his kitchen. Alone one moment and completely in love the next, Robert is swept off his feet by Mary, the two become inseparable almost immediately. Robert goes through all of the angst and emotion of a teen deciding where to take

R&B star Chris Brown is in negotiations to star in John Lussenhop’s upcoming thriller “Bone Deep,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The plot centers on a gang of criminals who plan a tricky heist at a money depot. Matt Dillon, Idris Elba and rapper T.I. (Clifford Joseph Harris Jr.) are already on board.
Brown celebrated his big-screen debut with last year’s success hit “Stomp the Yard.” He also starred in Preston A. Whitmore’s surprise comedy “This Christmas.”
Could “Bone Deep” be the “Mad Money” for men? I know it’s going to be thriller and not a comedy, but a bunch of gangsters trying to rob a money depot sounds somewhat familiar. Time will tell.
