Good Cops, Bad Cops – 70’s Cop Movies and Today’s Headlines
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Dec 18, 2015
I generally try to keep politics and other real-world events from seeping into this blog, preferring to keep it instead devoted to the Reel World. However… I had a couple of articles skitter across my desk this week that gave me a thought. The first was one from the Los Angeles Times headlined read more
o/t: I know, I know, it’s already Thursday, my bad . . . but here’s Todd Mason’s Tuesday’s Overlooked Films and/or Other A/V at last!
Noirish Posted by John Grant on Oct 1, 2015
Posts got a little backed up here at Noirly Towers, so I’m late with this. However, better thing than wotzit, as they say. Thanks to the miracles of technology (whatever will these young people think of next?), if you click anywhere on the list you’ll be transported by wormhole to Todd&# read more
Sometimes It’s Hard To Tell The Good Guys From the Bad – Bandolero! (1968)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jul 29, 2015
***SPOILER WARNING! Yeah, the movie is almost 50 years old, but as I’ve often noted, if you haven’t seen it before, then it might as well have come out yesterday. Plus, it’s not one of those that’s well enough known that the plot twists (and there are a few) would be popularl read more
The 1947 Blogathon: The Devil Thumbs a Ride (or, Why Picking Up Hitchhikers is a BAD Idea)
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Jul 14, 2015
Admittedly, I haven’t seen every movie Lawrence Tierney was in, but I can’t imagine that he ever played the romantic lead or the goofy but lovable sidekick. No, he was just too perfect as the bad guy – the guy who’d kill you as soon as look at you. The guy who didn’t give a hoot that you had read more
The film may be bad, but the script is good Norwegian wood
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jun 21, 2015
One only wishes the finished product that was "Fools For Scandal" exhibited anywhere near the joy that this on-the-set pic of Carole Lombard and Fernand Gravet showed. The 1938 Warners comedy, set in Paris, turned out to be Carole's cinematic Waterloo, taking arguably the hottest star in movies as 1 read more

Warner Archive: Bad Men of Tombstone (1948)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on May 28, 2015
Though he played both white and black hat over the course of his career, Barry Sullivan was always at his most intriguing when he portrayed men with a dark streak. He specialized in playing protagonists too corrupt to root for, but who were exciting to watch nevertheless. In a new Western release fr read more
Video of the Week: Honeyboy Slim and the Bad Habits
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 29, 2015
Today happens to be the birthday of one of my most favorite people in the whole wide world, Heather Drain. Besides being an amazing writer and critic of fringe culture, she is my number-one cohort in the Timothy Carey Estrogen Brigade. I dedicate today’s video, another one from the archives, t read more
Seven Miles of Bad Road (1963, Douglas Heyes)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 5, 2015
Once you get past Jeffrey Hunter (at thirty-seven) playing a character about fifteen years younger–and some other significant bumps, Seven Miles of Bad Road isn’t entirely bad. It shouldn’t be entirely bad, even with those bumps, but it’s an episode of “The Chrysler Th read more
Bad news for screenwriting, good news for 'Godfrey'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 25, 2015
Attention Carole Lombard, Alice Brady, Mischa Auer, William Powell and Gregory La Cava: As fate would have it appears I will be able to attend tomorrow's 10 p.m. showing of "My Man Godfrey" at the Chinese Multiplex House 1 (provided I can get a standby ticket, and with my luck...) That's because the read more

A Film Celebrating Bad Cooks: Christmas in Connecticut
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Dec 13, 2014
I come from a long line of bad cooks. My mother was way ahead of her peers with the natural foods craze, but, like a new vegan, she never learned to substitute anything for the bacon grease she’d been raised with; everything she made was bland. When we visited my maternal grandmother’s, all of our read more

Think everyone has a better holiday than you?
The holidays where they felt as cuddly as a cactus or as charming as an eel.
1977 London
When their whole lives seemed like one big bad banana with a greasy black peel. Remembering a few of the miserable, the read more

Backlots Posted by Lara on Jun 1, 2014
Owing to a long day of movies yesterday plus a 2 AM blog post, followed by a 4 AM wake up call by my yowling cat and my actual alarm at 7, suffice it to say that I went into today’s movies feeling massively sleep-deprived. Fueled only by my enthusiasm (and several cups of coffee from the pre read more
