The Movie Rat Posted by Bernardo Villela on Nov 23, 2013
Since he’s a past honoree of the Lifetime Achievement Award, and all around great, I like to feature Werner Herzog whenever possible. It’s a short but effective PSA and mind you we’ve all seen many of them and in the wrong hands they’re overwrought. Here it’s simple, ef read more

It Takes Two – Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man (1943)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Nov 16, 2013
Okay, let’s go ahead and get a couple of things straight right off the bat. First of all, despite the fact that Frankie gets top billing, this is much more a Wolf Man movie than one revolving around the pieced together icon. Secondly, yes, I know that technically the titular star should be ref read more

“Allison is seldom referred to. But I think it was one of the best things I ever made”.”
Sunset Blvd Posted by Rachel T on Oct 16, 2013
Mr Huston, I agree completely. Heaven Knows, Mr Allison is probably one of the few films I would hasten to reference as ‘perfectly executed’. Yet, in my book it is arguably much more than that; Allison possesses a true and honest sincerity in its essential vision. While it’s read more
This cracks me up because it is totally how I used to sew when I was a kid. Animated GIF
Movies Silently Posted by Fritzi Kramer on Oct 14, 2013
I loved to sew when I was a kid. No sheet or tablecloth was safe! I was sure to snip it up and turn it into a costume for myself or my dolls. My mother was shockingly tolerant of this behavior. It could not have been easy to have a constant costume surplus and sheet shortage. (I still do a bit of read more

Movie Review: It Happened One Night (1934)
Pretty Clever Films Posted by Laura Grande on Oct 3, 2013
As a film genre, the screwball comedy arguably made its debut with Frank Capra’s classic, It Happened One Night.

Ever wondered just what a “hench” is and why villains should have men do it? Your answer! Animated GIF
Movies Silently Posted by Fritzi Kramer on Sep 30, 2013
I have never been sure just what “henching” is but I am fairly sure that it involves something like this. Skulking and lurking and other such sinister behavior. Capes need to come back! At least when one is henching. PS, this henchman gag is pretty much the only funny joke in the 1925 read more
