MOVIE: GODFATHER 50TH
Now playing: Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather epic returns to the silver screen as part of a 50th anniversary and restoration project. The Bay Area filmmaker made his name and scooped up three Academy Awards for the original film in 1972 starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall and Dianne Keaton.

HORROR FILM: STUDIO 666
Studio 666 is a horror comedy that rocks. Here's the horrific plan: A rock band called Foo Fighters stare down the empty tape reels of their 10th album. They must create a massive wall of sound and must be recorded in an unconventional space, like "when Zeppelin went to the castle with the Devil and the wizards and the dragons," announces front man Dave Grohl. The band's manager, aptly named Shill (Jeff Garlin), suggests a stucco mansion in Encino that's covered in vines and secretly crawling with demons. Grohl becomes possessed by the house's evil spirit, commanding his bandmates to record an endless song in the key of "L Sharp." As they record (spoiler alert) the Foos have little fight and get iced one by one, each kill bloodier than the last. Enjoy. This one is not for Grandma.
