Love that Lizabeth!

Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 13, 2013

A tawny-haired beauty with a smoldering gaze and a distinctively throaty voice, Lizabeth Scott is my film noir guilty pleasure. She’s no Sarah Bernhardt, it’s true – but she’s one of the quintessential bad girls of the noir era, and she’s just plain fun to watch! And on November 15th, TCM read more

Indie Watch: Love in Motion

Pretty Clever Films Posted by Sean Fitzpatrick on Oct 6, 2013

I’m consistently tickled by the fact that, despite my general aversion to the genre in my daily life, my Indie Watch column regularly features appraisals of romantic comedies.

Pretty Clever Films Posted by Jared Bratt on Sep 30, 2013

I have never written a love-letter before. I don’t foresee myself writing one anytime soon, but if I had to, if my life absolutely depended on it – Well than consider it done, and consider that white manila-envelope mailed out west care of The X-Files television-series producer, Chris C read more

Comet Over Hollywood Posted by on Sep 30, 2013

Deciphering my love for classic movies!

Stardust Posted by Vanessa Buttino on Sep 29, 2013

Deciphering my love for classic movies! Let's say that someone came and put two movies in front of me. One, a classic film and the other, a modern one. Which one would I choose to watch (and keep, for that matter)? A or B? Without a doubt and with very little hesitation, I'd definitely choose t read more

Movies Silently Posted by Movies, Silently on Sep 16, 2013

People make their money different ways. Me? I’ll stick to advertising. NOTE: Ten days after publishing this article, I had a terrible shock. I had just published the announcement for my Lon Chaney Blogathon and had several browser tabs open. Then I heard it– an autoplay ad! Of all the t read more

Giacomo Puccini’s 1896 Italian opera La bohème has seen many forms in the century since its first performance in Turin. The story–itself borrowed from Henri Murger’s 1851 collection Scènes de la vie de bohème–has been retold in many forms, with and without the music. It’ read more

Movies Silently Posted by Movies, Silently on Sep 5, 2013

People make their money different ways. Me? I’ll stick to advertising. You may have noticed that my blog has ads. There’s a reason for that. I have signed up for the WordAds program from WordPress.com. It seems that a fair amount of bloggers are curious about the program so I thought I read more

Backlots Posted by Lara on Sep 2, 2013

Today was a very special day at Cinecon, as guests anxiously awaited a much-anticipated Q&A session with the legendary Shirley Jones following a screening of April Love. As you may know, I am a big fan of Jones’ portrayal of the prostitute Lulu Barnes in Elmer Gantry and I was excited to read more

Five Reasons Why I Love Bette Davis

Hollywood Revue Posted by Angela on Aug 14, 2013

1.  She was talented. Enough said. 2.  Who needs glamour when you can have realism? When Bette Davis first signed with Warner Brothers, the executives at Warner’s had no idea what to do with her.  Bette said of her early days at Warner’s, “I was known as the little brown wren.  read more

Pretty Clever Films Posted by John McIntyre on Aug 9, 2013

Henry Jaglom directed Orson Welles in two films, his debut, 1971’s A Safe Place, and Someone to Love, Welles’s last screen appearance. They’re essentially bookends to the friendship of the two men. In addition to showing Jaglom’s evolution as a filmmaker, they give a sense of Welles’ aura, read more

Modern Love: The Films of Leos Carax at TIFF

Pretty Clever Films Posted by Jovana Jankovic on Aug 7, 2013

It’s either fitting or bewildering that my introduction to the work of French auteur Leos Carax began with his latest film, the confounding and haunting Holy Motors (2012). Carax’s cinematic universes and the progression (if it can be called that) of his life’s work are hardly lin read more

I Love to Laugh (2013)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 5, 2013

I came to the realization recently that a lot of the films on Four Star Film are rather dramatic and heavy. I figured a change of pace would be good and I wanted to lighten up some. So in the near future I wanted to highlight some great comedy films from the Marx Brothers, Laurel Hardy, Mel Brooks, read more

Matinee: A cinematic love letter to the films of William Castle

The Motion Pictures Posted by Lindsey on Jul 30, 2013

John Goodman as Woolsey/William Castle being awesome As a movie lover, I love watching films that were made by fellow movie lovers with “our people” (all of the film-crazed beings of the world) in mind. Matinee by Joe Dante is one of those films. Released in 1993 and set in 1962, Matinee read more
