SAFE IN HELL (1931) from Warner Archive: When it Comes to Pre-Code, Seeing is Believing

Cinematically Insane Posted by Will McKinley on Oct 13, 2012

  “Black & white movies are so boring and fake,” a co-worker once said to me, with an accompanying look of disgust usually afforded to those who belch audibly in public places. In my younger days, I might have taken the bait and tried to plead my case. But now that I’m older (and read more

It's time to VAMP it up!

Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Aug 30, 2012

Why post the above image of Carole Lombard? Is it to remind us that next month, Turner Classic Movies in the U.S. (and Canada, too!) will air a tribute to Mack Sennett each Thursday? Well, it could be -- although Lombard's Sennett films won't air until the 27th. (Oh, and to Robert Osborne, Ben Manki read more

British TV Horror and How It Made Me Who I Am

Classic Horror Campaign Posted by Richard on Aug 6, 2012

My horror-loving life was formed by British television, either by the programmes it made, or the films it broadcast. For about eight really important years while I was growing up the only horror I got to see was courtesy of the three channels beamed by a not-always very reliable aerial into the Prob read more

Keira Knightley is at it again with another period piece with ANNA KARENINA

All Good Things Posted by monty on Jul 28, 2012

One of my occasional series I write is called From The Past To Now where I compare a modern star with their classic counterpart. One such pairing was Vivien Leigh and Keira Knightley. The main reason was because they each have done a fair amount of period films. Vivien did five films of those na read more

Lets Misbehave: A Tribute to Precode Hollywood Posted by Emma on Jul 27, 2012

This is my contribution to the 'Great Recasting Blogathon': Like most of the classic film bloggers, I had a problem finding a post-1965 movie that I loved enough and had enough knowledge of to recast. My other issue was that at the beginning I made the decision that I was going to change the fil read more

Television Made Me Do It – A Look At Made-For-TV Classic Horror!

Classic Horror Campaign Posted by Richard on Jun 13, 2012

Article by Anthony Cowin I owe a lot to the 1970s. It was the decade of my childhood. It was a time when most of my cultural and political views were embryonic but growing fast.
