The Fountainhead, Often and Oftener Viewings Makes It Better and Better

Classic Film Aficionados Posted by C. S. Williams on Dec 8, 2014

With each viewing of The Fountainhead rather than growing tired of the 65 year old picture, I admire it more and more. Raymond Massey was never more sleazy (in the first two-thirds of the movie), Cooper, strong, silent, never more Cooperesque than in The Fountainhead and Patricia Neal, never more be read more

Criterion: It Happened One Night, Frank Capra, 1934

Criterion Blues Posted by Aaron West on Dec 8, 2014

Dec 8 Posted by aaronwest In the interest of full disclosure, I’ll come clean that I’m not a Capra fanatic. That’s not to say that I don’t have tremendous respectful for him as a talented and influential filmmaker, and I like most of his films, even if I do not love them. My first exposure read more

Stardust Posted by Vanessa Buttino on Dec 1, 2014

Bookshop Sex: Did they do it?! Something's been bugging me ever since I watched THE BIG SLEEP (1946) for the first time a couple years ago ... Okay, you know when Philip Marlowe (Humphrey Bogart) ducks inside the Acme Bookshop located across the street from Geiger's more 'upmarket' shop to read more

Doesn’t it just boil you in ecstasy? Animated GIF

Movies Silently Posted by Fritzi Kramer on Nov 13, 2014

By Fritzi Kramer on November 13, 2014 in Blog, GIF, Humor These days, if a party girl mentions boiling in ecstasy, we have a rather different and more, er, chemical definition in mind. Back in the twenties, though, ecstasy was just ecstasy. Still, we wouldn’t be human if we didn’t giggl read more

So maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to turn our entire treasury over to two kids named “Bud” and “Fluff” Animated GIF

Movies Silently Posted by Fritzi Kramer on Nov 4, 2014

By Fritzi Kramer on November 4, 2014 in Blog, GIF, Humor The Magic Cloak of Oz has many moments that– to employ an overused word of a few years back– can be best described as random. Why is the heroine named Fluff? Why would a kingdom put her and her brother in charge of anything? They read more

What is it about GILDA?

Once Upon a Screen Posted by Aurora on Oct 29, 2014

During the TCM Classic Film Festival in 2012 we filled the Egyptian Theater to watch a sixty-six year old movie.  While that’s nothing strange during the event or for the classic film fans in attendance, there was a palpable excitement about watching this particular movie, one most of us had read more

Breakfast at Tiffany’s: Why the Movie Blew It

Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Oct 23, 2014

Let me be clear: Nothing is wrong with Audrey Hepburn’s sparkling portrayal of Holly Golightly. It’s the only reason to watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s, witnessing this character’s charms (besides the obvious joys of the fashion). And though certainly a tamer version than the book’s Holly, she read more

Classic Television Thursday #010 – You Asked For It (1950-1959)

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Oct 23, 2014

You Asked For It was an odd little show which aired from 1920 to 1959. Originally titled The Art Barker Show, the title was changed to You Asked For It in 1952. Each week, host Barker (who left the show in 1958 to be replaced by Jack Smith) would introduce and host segments responding to requests se read more

Blame Hydra? Blame Tony? It Doesn’t Matter. The Trailer For Avengers: Age of Ultron Is Here

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Oct 22, 2014

Supposedly this trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron wasn’t going to premiere until next week’s Agents of Shield, but here it is, and yep, it’s official. Marvel says to blame Hydra, but personally from the looks of things, I’d say blame Tony. Whatever the reason, I’d go read more

'Modern Screen,' October 1940: Just how does she do it?

Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Oct 20, 2014

And by "do it," we're referring to Carole Lombard's acting prowess, something that in 1940 often was ignored while the press instead focused on her status as Mrs. Clark Gable number three. But see that word "Success," roughly belt-high to her while she poses for a promotional still from "They Knew W read more
