CMBA Film Passion 101 Blogathon: "Singin' in the Rain"
The Man on the Flying Trapeze Posted by David on Dec 3, 2013
I was 10 years old when I remember seeing Gene Kelly for the first time, and I was not impressed.
It was 1967, and Kelly was the star of a musical TV version of "Jack and the Beanstalk," and he was just so ... so ...smarmy. I felt like he was talking down to me, and I was 10! Besides, I was much read more

The Gay Divorcee airs tonight on TCM as part of its month-long tribute to Fred Astaire
Watching a console TV for long stretches from the living
room floor and a distance of not more than a few feet was a good part of a
typical day for most tots of my era. Much of what we watched was “ read more
The CMBA Film Passion 101 Blogathon: Jean Harlow in Red Dust (1932)
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Dec 3, 2013
The first movie where I saw Jean Harlow was Red Dust (1932). I’d heard of Harlow, certainly, and knew of her reputation as a platinum blonde, but I’d never seen a single performance. And what an introduction this was. For the first five minutes of the movie, it’s all rugged male and jungle, complete read more

Other Reviews: The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)
Pretty Clever Films Posted by Brandy Dean on Apr 9, 2013
I’ve had a somewhat tortured history with Carl Theodor Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc. While being fully cognizant of the fact that the rest of the cinephile world loves and respects this film, I hated it. Basically, whenever it came up in conversation, I would smile and nod and k read more

THE AGE OF CONSENT (1932) from Warner Archive: Pre-Code Passion At Its Most Lustful
Cinematically Insane Posted by Will McKinley on Nov 4, 2012
People in old movies don’t seem to know how to kiss. Without a doubt, there are plenty of iconic lip locks from the films of the 1930s and ‘40s, often accompanied by lush orchestrations that infer burning passion. But characters rarely make out like they mean it. Classic film kisses tend to be read more

In fact, whether you know everything or nothing about the read more
Thankful for World Cinema- The Passion of Joan of Arc
The Movie Rat Posted by Bernardo Villela on Nov 20, 2011
When looking for a theme in which to select films from the start of November until Thanksgiving being literal is not the best option. Films centered around Thanksgiving tend to be overly obsessed with dysfunctional families. So in thinking about the nature of the day which was initially a celebratio read more
