Among this week’s headlines: CW Republic of Sarah fans are in for a disappointment as series is cancelled after just one season, upcoming series The Offer about the making of The Godfather adds to its cast, we look at a great weekend at the box office, plus A LOT more news!

Chris wraps up every episode of FilmBookCast with a movie review. In FilmBookCast Ep. 151, he analyzes and reacts to The Protege directed by Martin Campbell.

Rescued as a child by the legendary assassin Moody (Samuel L. Jackson) and trained in the family business, Anna (Maggie Q) is the world’s most skilled contract killer. But when Moody — the man who was like a father to her and taught her everything she needs to know about trust and survival — is brutally killed, Anna vows revenge. As she becomes entangled with an enigmatic killer (Michael Keaton) whose attraction to her goes way beyond cat and mouse, their confrontation turns deadly and the loose ends of a life spent killing will weave themselves ever tighter.
