Sidney Poitier: For Love of Ivy, Lost Man, Brother John

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 10, 2022

In honor of the inimitable Sidney Poitier, I spent some time revisiting a bevy of his finest films and also some underrated ones that were new to me. Because he was a prominent archetype for a black movie star, when he was often the only one, it’s fascinating to see the roles he chose at diffe read more

The Last Flight (1931) and The Lost Generation

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jan 20, 2022

The Last Flight could conceivably be tacked onto the end of The Dawn Patrol. Although there is only one full scene of aerial combat, it informs everything that’s to follow because this shared experience colors the lives of the men who pushed through it. Some of them have been pushed through i read more

Gold Star Families: Performers who lost loved ones in military conflict

Comet Over Hollywood Posted by on May 30, 2021

In honor of Memorial Day, I would like to highlight the loved ones of performers who died in conflict — from World War I through Vietnam. The term “gold star” (in our title) references families who have lost a loved one in conflict. World War I Edward Gabriel Lester, biological father read more

Book Review: Harryhausen - The Lost Movies

Silver Scenes - A Blog for Classic Film Lovers Posted by The Metzinger Sisters on Jul 4, 2020

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of stop-motion special effects maestro Ray Harryhausen. I've been enjoying re-watching many of his films throughout the year but doubly entertaining is discovering all the wonderful books written about Harryhausen and his work.  A recent f read more

Smile (1975): The Miss America Satire Lost Some of Its Sheen

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 12, 2020

“Smile” is a timeless hit among a plethora of classic Nat King Cole tracks. The innate warmth and the soothing nature of his vocals shine through every note. It took me many years to realize the tune was actually a Charlie Chaplin composition from City Lights later reworked with lyrics. read more

book: The Lost Man (2018) by Jane Harper

Noirish Posted by John Grant on Apr 7, 2019

I hugely enjoyed Jane Harper’s first novel, The Dry, then enjoyed her second, Force of Nature, even more than that. I think her third, The Lost Man, somehow manages to be the best of the three. I’m awestruck by the talents of this UK/Australian author. The setting is the Australian Ou read more

This silent thought draws ire: It's lost. No big deal.

Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 29, 2018

Of the billions of people currently populating the globe, you probably can count the number who have seen Carole Lombard's first film under that name, 1925's "Marriage In Transit," on one hand. And we're not talking about during its run in theaters, but in any subsequent showing or venue.That's beca read more

30 Minutes into Lost in Translation our two traveling misanthropes finally meet in the hotel lobby at the bar sharing a friendly exchange. They are two people who share one striking similarity — they are Americans in a foreign land — and they’re looking for a friend. It’s read more

Silents Are Golden: The Thoroughly Lost Art of the Title Card

Classic Movie Hub Blog Posted by Lea Stans on Mar 14, 2018

The Thoroughly Lost Art of the Title Card A few months ago I wrote a brief overview on silent films title cards, covering both their practical use and their artistic side. Now I’m going to delve a little deeper into that artistic side, giving a peek into the trends that popped up throughout that cre read more

All Is Lost (2013, J.C. Chandor)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 29, 2017

All Is Lost is the harrowing tale of an unnamed man (Robert Redford) on his damaged yacht in the Indian Ocean. The film runs 106 minutes. It’s harrowing for all of them. Director Chandor knows how to harrow. The film has a mundane reality about it. Redford has no back story, no character developmen read more

Fred Astaire and his Long Lost Hair

Silver Scenes - A Blog for Classic Film Lovers Posted by The Metzinger Sisters on Jun 6, 2017

A bald Fred in 1944 Fred Astaire has always been more famous for his fancy feet than for his hair, but if one was to take a closer examination of his hair style one would notice that it was quite unique. So unique that even as a Rankin/Bass puppet ( in The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town ) he was re read more

BING'S BIRTHDAY MOVIE: Little Boy Lost (1953)

Caftan Woman Posted by on May 2, 2017

It's that time of year again when I celebrate one of my favourite entertainers/singers with a birthday salute. There is some minor dispute as to whether Bing's birthday is on May 2nd (Wikipedia) or May 3rd (family website). It matters not to me. I will have cake on both days. This year we are goin read more

Perry Mason: The Case of the Lost Love (1987, Ron Satlof)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 29, 2016

The Case of the Lost Love is a rather charmless Perry Mason outing. Jean Simmons is an old flame of Raymond Burr’s and he ends up defending her ungrateful husband (Gene Barry). Simmons and Burr have some chemistry as Lost Love establishes their history, but the movie’s so technically inept, it neve read more

The Plague Dogs: An Unrelenting Tale of Lost Hope

Classic Film & TV Cafe Posted by Rick29 on Sep 22, 2016

The Tod, Rowf, and Snitter. I knew it was a mistake to watch The Plague Dogs earlier this week when my wife was at choir practice. I had originally seen this emotionally wrenching film in the 1980s, so I remembered that it was not an animated film aimed at children. I also vaguely recalled tha read more
