More from Mr. Welles

Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jul 30, 2013

Nearly a month and a half ago, we provided segments of an upcoming book on recorded conversations with one of Carole Lombard's friends at RKO, Orson Welles (http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/610122.html).

A year more 'Modern' than originally thought

Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jul 21, 2013

It's nice to remember every now and then that we're not infalliable. My latest lesson in learning humility comes from the Carole Lombard cover above, from Modern Screen magazine.

ScribeHard on Film Posted by ScribeHard on Jun 21, 2013

If there is anything you can accuse Hollywood of doing TOO well, it’s exploiting something popular to the point that it becomes a scourge.  When the public gets a taste for a certain flavor, Tinseltown senses it, whets the public’s appetite with more offerings, then force-feeds the mark read more

Want More Dredd? Less Is So Much More With Judge Minty

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jun 6, 2013

Okay, let me just get it out of the way and say up front that I was not a fan of last year’s Dredd. Maybe it’s because I’d already been spoiled by the outrageous humor of Attack the Block and the incredible over-the-top action of The Raid: Redemption, but by the time the adaptation read more

Movies Silently Posted by Movies, Silently on May 17, 2013

You know when you are going along minding your own business, thinking of cake or butterflies or something, and someone tells you this: It takes more muscles to frown than to smile. This annoys me. I’m sorry but I don’t like my emotions and facial expressions dictated by strangers. And, read more
