The Motion Pictures Posted by Lindsey on Feb 6, 2013
Prepare for blasphemy. I’m about to give one the most beloved/critically acclaimed/award-buzzed films of the year a lower score than a Tom Cruise movie, in this installment of Reviews in a Line or Two Ten.

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Oct 18, 2012
And out of that binder full of Timothy comes our pic of the day! It’s another bizarre promotional still for Flight to Hong Kong (1956), with another shot that isn’t actually in the movie. Along with this one, I’m sure these stills were basically used as models for poster artwork. read more

GlamAmor Posted by on Jan 29, 2012
This month has been an homage to film noir on GlamAmor--its movies, locations, and all around style--and I would be remiss in not including Angels Flight. It is, after all, iconic and has been included in countless movies, starting in 1918 with Good Night, Nurse! and appear read more
