A Few Thoughts On GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jan 28, 2015
I finally watched GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY last night. I know I was a bit late to the party, but...oh well. Seeing a smash-hit movie for the very first time, after it has already become a smash hit, is a peculiar experience. What makes it peculiar is that one looks at it from a perspective of "Why wa read more

Godflesh – A World Lit Only By Fire (2014)
As an metalhead since almost twenty years I am often asked by
people what is the heaviest band in the world. If I had a dollar each time
people have asked me the same question I could only do things I like and not
work anymore. Seriously, the comm read more

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by The Wonderful World of Cinema on Jan 27, 2015
Today, on January 27, we celebrate the 94rd anniversary of the late Donna Reed. Even if I have seen only 3 of her films (It’s a Wonderful Life, From Here to Eternity and Eyes in the Night), Donna Reed is one of my very favourite actresses. Well, for those who have seen my top 10, she is exact read more
Of a Dame, a Hawks heroine and a 'West Side Story': What a weekend
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jan 26, 2015
Unless I'm placed in a functional time machine or am zapped by magic, I'll never meet Carole Lombard, one of the great Howard Hawks heroines (seen with him above on the set of "Twentieth Century"). However, this weekend I was blessed to meet two legendary actresses who also worked with the great dir read more
A Golden Film on Big Screen: The Gold Rush (Chaplin 1925)
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by The Wonderful World of Cinema on Jan 25, 2015
Yesterday, I had the chance to see The Gold Rush (Charlie Chaplin, 1925) on big screen at The Cinémathèque Québécoise which is a film conservatory based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada where I live. I have seen The Gold Rush many times before, but seeing it on big screen was a completely new a wonderfu read more

Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Jan 25, 2015
A Lei da Fronteira / Frontier Marshal (1939) 1939 foi um grande ano para o gênero western. Durante a década de 1930, os filmes ambientados no Velho Oeste estavam quase sempre relegados à categoria B: eram curtos (por volta de uma hora de duração), feitos sem grande orçamento e destinados read more

Cheers for a 'new' p1202
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jan 24, 2015
Uncovering a previously unseen (at least to current fans and collectors) Carole Lombard Paramount p1202 image is always cause for celebration. And while we've known of the above pic, p1202-1430, for quite some time, today an eBay seller has one that looks to be from the same session, if the jacket s read more

Classic Movie Hub Blog Posted by Janelle Vreeland on Jan 22, 2015
Chariot Races and Copyright Infringement: A Tale of Ben Hur In 1907, the state of the American film industry was rather poor and was still, largely, in its infancy. D.W.

I Said Yes to Everything: A Memoir
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Jan 19, 2015
Lee Grant certainly proves that she said yes to everything during her time on and off the Hollywood screen. It’s the trouble explaining and contextualizing where the “yes'” came from that’s the problem. Make no mistake, Grant’s candid memoirs sees her naming names, iron read more
Paying it back via a goofy reunion
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jan 19, 2015
I'm not precisely certain when Carole Lombard received this inscribed autographed picture from John Barrymore, but if it was given to her at the wrap party for 1934's "Twentieth Century," she may well have floated home that night. Getting approval from Barrymore, one of the industry's most distingui read more
