Introducing “Charlie’s Angels”: A Brief Rant
Margaret Perry Posted by Margaret Perry on Nov 27, 2015
I’m Sabrina, because she is the smart one. She is also the only one with any real clothes. It is true that the whole set up of the “Charlie’s Angels” show is a bit patronizing. The title itself suggests these women are Charlie’s personal Playboy bunnies. But th read more
I’m Declaring Today To Be A New Holiday – Blaxploitation Friday
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Nov 27, 2015
To say that I am not a fan of Black Friday could really be the definition of the word “understatement”. I’m not going to get into all the reasons for that here, because if you feel the same way I do, then you already understand most of them, and if you’re a huge fan of the da read more

Late Autumn: A Close Reading of a Japanese Auteur (2015)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 25, 2015
Yasujiro Ozu has the esteem of being christened “The Most Japanese Filmmaker.” It’s certainly a high honor, but at first it can feel rather counter-intuitive, because after all such a great master of cinema cannot be considered a composite or even representative of Japanese film hi read more

A pic that doesn't ring a bell
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 24, 2015
I can't be completely certain I've never seen this image of Carole Lombard before -- but if I have, I can't place it. This looks to have been taken about 1934 or 1935, and I emphasize the word "taken" because the seller makes no claim this is an original photograph. It's "professioal lab quality on read more
o/t: a double dose of Todd Mason’s Overlooked Films and/or Other A/V
Noirish Posted by John Grant on Nov 24, 2015
Todd was a bit late with the classic roundup last week, which meant that by the time it arrives I was in the midst of preparations for Philcon (the annual convention of the Philadelphia SF Society), notably the final tuning of the talk I was scheduled to give there. One of the great pleasures of Phi read more
Dawn of the Dead (1978, George A. Romero)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 24, 2015
Dawn of the Dead is relentless and exhausting. Director Romero burns out the viewer and not by the end of the film but probably three-quarters of the way through. He establishes the ground situation with a sense of impending doom, not just with the principal cast and how they’ll fare in the z read more
