HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY: Now…Unshred My Heart!
CineMaven's Essays from the Couch Posted by Theresa Brown on Feb 14, 2015
‘Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.’ Gosh, I dunno. I don’t know about that. I STILL struggle to reconcile that philosophy with my heart. Movies, you see, already have it alllll figured out. And since I willingly admit movies are smarter than read more
Cross My Heart (1987, Armyan Bernstein)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 21, 2015
Cross My Heart has a significant problem right off. Its gimmick work against the film. The opening scenes establish Annette O’Toole and Martin Short’s leads as they prepare for a date. Each has the help of a second (for exposition’s sake, though it doesn’t make the expositio read more

Top 5 Most Heart Wrenching Animal Movies
Pretty Clever Films Posted by Wade Sheeler on May 14, 2014
I hate myself for doing this, but a writer must bare his soul if he is to be a good writer. I don’t know if I’m that, but I do know how to make you cry. And make you hate me. Thus I present my list, in no particular order (because how can you pick your favorite child – tears yet?) read more
Dear Heart (1964, Delbert Mann)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 14, 2014
Dear Heart starts awkwardly and ends awkwardly. At the beginning, director Mann and writer Tad Mosel are very deliberately setting up their protagonists and the setting. The awkwardness makes sense. That very solid foundation allows for everything following. The ending, which plays–at least f read more

Classic Film & TV Cafe Posted by Rick29 on Jan 6, 2014
As World War II comes to an end in Burma in 1945, Lachlan McLachlan (Richard Todd), a Scottish corporal, steps on a land mine.

Young at Heart (Gordon Douglas, 1954)
Movie Classics Posted by Judy on Dec 1, 2013
It must be a daunting prospect to step into a role which another actor has already made his own. But Frank Sinatra did it at least twice, in musical remakes of much-loved movies. In High Society he took on the role which had won James Stewart an Oscar in The Philadelphia Story, and a couple of years read more
The Beating of the Hideous Tell-Tale Heart (1953)
True Classics Posted by on Oct 31, 2013
Edgar Allan Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart (1843) is a chilling piece of short fiction, providing a look into madness through the eyes of a narrator who believes himself to be perfectly sane. Though intriguing in its own right, the story does not seem to be ripe for animated interpretation–at read more

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Oct 19, 2013
October marches on, and so does our countdown to All Hallows Eve.

Valentino: “Ah yes, with one flick of these eyelids, I will win your heart, my little porcini mushroom.” Animated
Movies Silently Posted by Movies, Silently on Sep 11, 2013
The meet-n-greet scene in The Sheik sets the pace for all of the over-the-top events to come. Much flicking of eyelids and brows between Rudolph Valentino and Agnes Ayres. In other news, this is kind of how I look at the dessert menu in a restaurant. “Ah, my little blueberry cheesecake, you read more

Breaking News: I *heart* westerns!
Henry Fonda AND Gene Tierney?! I'm sold!
Right! So, here's the thing ...
Not too long ago I said that I couldn't stand watching westerns. I had always avoided them like the plague because the few times that I had tried watching a western film or two, they read more
Marion Davies: The Heart of Hearst in Hollwood
Backlots Posted by Lara on Jul 27, 2013
Even among devoted classic film fans, the name Marion Davies does not come up often in conversation–if she is mentioned at all, it is normally in the context of her ostensible inspiration for the character of Susan Alexander Kane in the immortal Citizen Kane, or for her semi-covert liaisons read more
