Punch-Drunk Love (2002)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 13, 2016
When Paul Thomas Anderson said he was making a comedy with Adam Sandler, people undoubtedly scoffed at him. I know I would have if I had known about this film back then. However, he proved that you should never question him as a director. Much like a Kubrick or a few other auteurs, I’m not nec read more

A Person in the Dark Posted by FlickChick on Jan 8, 2016
This is my entry in the France on Film Blogathon, hosted by Serendipitous Anachronisms. Click HERE for the full roster of all things oo la la!
I write this entry with a special ache of the heart. Paris is the one destination that never disappointed me and more than lived up to my lofty imag read more
In the Mood for Love (2000, Wong Kar-wai)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 4, 2016
In the Mood for Love runs under a hundred minutes. Its present action is somewhat indeterminate, but less than a year total and a few weeks for the longest continuous sequence. As for the length of that continuous sequence, I’m not sure. There’s such a smoothness to William Chang’ read more
A Christmas Cruise on "The Love Boat"
Classic Film & TV Cafe Posted by Rick29 on Dec 20, 2015
The Love Boat crew.
By 1982, The Love Boat was sailing smoothly through its sixth season. The series still ranked in the Top Ten and its first season cast remained intact. If its feel-good formula was wearing thin, viewers didn't seem to mind nor did the guest stars--a canny mix of TV vet read more
Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 22, 2015
Here is a film from screenwriter Dan Fogelman where Ryan Gosling acts as wing man for an estranged Steve Carell; seems like a basic enough pitch for a movie, and yet thankfully it’s not quite that simple. Early on Jacob (Gosling) implores the washed-up Cal (Carell) to lose the New Balance snea read more

Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 11, 2015
Based in part on a short story by Ernest Hemingway, The Killers is about a former boxer known as “The Swede” (Burt Lancaster) who is murdered by two hitmen because, in his words, he “did something once.” The rest of the film shows the efforts of an insurance investigator to unearth the circumstances read more
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) – Updated
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 27, 2015
How to speak of Dr. Strangelove? To clarify I mean the film and not the character. First and foremost, it’s one of those films that has so much significance, because of the era it came out of and for the way it represents that time and space. It’s the defining film about the Cold War, mu read more

The Inn of the Sixth Happiness: Joy, Sadness and Love
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 24, 2015
Some movies are so good, so good that it should be illegal. The Inn of the Sixth Happiness, directed by Mark Robson in 1958, is one of them. It would be impossible for me to describe how much I love this film, from the beginning to the end. There isn’t a moment in this 2h30’s film that read more
We love Lucy -- and Lucy loved Lombard
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Oct 21, 2015
The link between legends Carole Lombard and Lucille Ball isn't as well-known as it should be; perhaps one reason is the lack of photographic evidence of them together. Unless Lucie Arnaz -- who's done a fine job in perpetuating her mother's legacy -- or someone else in the family has documented proo read more

Once in love with Amy, er, Carole
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Oct 4, 2015
Well, whaddya think?Carole Lombard and Amy Poehler do have a sort of facial resemblance, I believe. I wouldn't be surprised if Amy is a fan of Carole's work, and I like to think that somewhere in the great beyond, Lombard likes a lot of Poehler's comedy, too. (The caption in Carole's pic is from the read more

The Great Villain Blogathon: Peter Lorre’s Dr. Gogol in Mad Love (1935)
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Aug 29, 2015
Like most movie watchers of my generation, I probably first saw the actual Peter Lorre in Casablanca (1942). He doesn’t have a lot of screen time, but he’s hard to forget. My first exposure to Peter Lorre, however, and perhaps also like a lot of folks my generation, was through the glor read more

Love Letters to Old Hollywood Posted by Michaela on Aug 28, 2015
The Summer Under the Stars celebration continues! Previously I wrote about Fred Astaire and Debbie Reynolds, but my last entry will be on that gorgeous hunk of man named Gary Cooper, whose day on TCM is the 30th.
