It's happened twice now. CBC plays a movie starting after the CFL game and I get sucked into watching a 1970s or '80s or 90s epic thinking it will be over at, say 12:30 pm, because no one in his right mind would play a movie that lasts three and a half or four hours. I don't even really like movies. It was Godfather III. Just to let you know, everyone dies...the Pope even dies but you have to get to 2 am to find that out.

Later: why run a movie that attracts a review like this?

Eighteen years after the first screenings of The Godfather, the long-awaited third and final chapter reached theaters. That it proved unable to fulfill expectations was a predictable - if somewhat disheartening - result, given the sixteen year buildup.  The Godfather Part III is a good movie, with moments of rare power, but it is not a great one - a reason why many fans of the series have voiced their disappointment. Oscar nominations for this film were probably based more on the Godfather name and reputation than on the particular merits of this production. Part III became the first Godfather not to take best picture and, despite a deserving performance, Al Pacino's efforts were not acknowledged. The lack of awards enthusiasm perhaps reflected a general opinion.
