Holmes on a Train in "Terror By Night"
Classic Film & TV Cafe Posted by Rick29 on Oct 5, 2017
Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes.
There are better entries in the Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes film series. In fact, when I ranked all twelve films from best to worst in 2009, Terror By Night came in #6--and, after viewing it again recently, that still feels right. But it h read more

A Hard Day’s Night (1964)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Sep 18, 2017
The 1960s have come represent a decade in turmoil, and that’s true. With Vietnam, political and racial unrest, it doesn’t appear too far removed from our current times; but in the heart of the sixties, Beatlemania took over and defined the decade. A Hard Day’s Night was the Beatles’ first read more

But I’m a Cheerleader (1999, Jamie Babbit)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 15, 2017
But I’m a Cheerleader is too short. It runs eighty-five minutes, which would be fine if the narrative fit into director Babbit’s affected, aspirationally camp style. But Brian Peterson’s script is front heavy. And Jules Labarthe’s cinematography is too flat. Rachel Kamerman’s production design read more

Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Sep 9, 2017
A Mulher de Branco / The Woman in White (1948) “A Mulher de Branco” me lembra de vários filmes da década de 1940. Pode ser um tema em comum, um personagem, uma situação, um cenário. Como eu fui capaz de fazer tantas conexões, foi com curiosidade e surpresa que descobri que read more
