In addition to "The Offer," "Godfather" movies are arriving on Paramount+. "The Godfather," "The Godfather Part II" and "The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone," the recut version of 1990's "The Godfather: Part III," will all be available to stream April 28 on Paramount+.

The Roku Streaming Stick+ has a long-range wireless receiver and allows Bluetooth streaming. It also includes all the features of the Roku Express 4K+ in a smaller, easier-to-conceal device. Instead of connecting to a television via wires, it connects directly to an HDMI port. Note that the Roku Streaming Stick+ still needs to be connected to a power source -- either via a TV USB input or a wall outlet.
"It doesn't have the same bells and whistles that my Roku Ultras have...but then again, I also paid nearly twice as much for those," reviewer K. Krueger says. "This Stick+ is much cheaper and provides basically the same user interface and playback performance."
