I’ve ranted about the films I didn’t watch–and didn’t want to–but three of the films nominated for Oscars this year are great films. NO spoilers. American Fiction. Clever, funny, and original, this satire/dramedy delivers genuine laughs while also addressing heartbreak. read more

Stories so nice, they told them twice: Christmas remakes
Comet Over Hollywood Posted by on Dec 19, 2023
This article was originally written by me and published on the DVD Netflix blog, Inside the Envelop, in December 2019. DVD Netflix was shuttered in Sept. 2023, so I am republishing my work for DVD Netflix here: Sometimes a story is so good, Hollywood decides to tell it again. Since the silent film read more

In The Heat of The Night (1967): They Call Him Mister Tibbs
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 12, 2022
In The Heat of The Night is a testament to the collaborative nature of Hollywood. We watch Sidney Poitier step off the train. Haskell Wexler’s cinematography gives an instant texture to the world so the sweaty atmosphere is almost palpable around him. However, one of my immediate recollection read more
Watching 1939: They Made Me a Criminal (1939)
Comet Over Hollywood Posted by on Apr 8, 2021
In 2011, I announced I was trying to see every film released in 1939. This new series chronicles films released in 1939 as I watch them. As we start out this blog feature, this section may become more concrete as I search for a common thread that runs throughout each film of the year. Right now, th read more
A 'Look' at "They Knew What They Wanted"
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 17, 2020
"They Knew What They Wanted" was Carole Lombard's second film with Charles Laughton, but it was a far cry from their late 1933 Paramount potboiler "White Woman." This was made for RKO in 1940, an adaptation of a Pulitzer Prize-winning play whose racy subject matter (waitress falls for yardhand whom read more
Was "The Other Man"..."What They Wanted"?
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 15, 2020
Many Carole Lombard fans know that several of the movies she made initially had different titles. For example, during pre-production, "In Name Only" was first known as "The Kind Men Marry." United Artists toyed with the idea of naming "To Be Or Not To Be," a sophisticated dark Ernst Lubitsch comedy, read more
'If they asked me, I could write a book...' And they have.
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 8, 2020
Several years ago, my Facebook friend Michelle Morgan wrote a biography of Carole Lombard, which I had more than the usual interest in. Why? One, I assisted with her research, and two......I was one of two people the book was dedicated to.For years, it's been suggested I write a Lombard book, an read more

Flickers in Time Posted by Beatrice on Apr 5, 2020
They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? Directed by Sydney Pollock Written by James Poe and Robert E. Thompson from a novel by Horace McCoy 1969/US IMDb link First viewing/Netflix rental A grueling and inhumane dance marathon stands in for all the misery of the Great Depression. Not ideal for read more
Becker (1998) s01e20 – Drive, They Said
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 4, 2020
There’s a disconnect during the opening titles; it says, “Written by David Isaacs and Ken Levine” (or however they do it), but it’s not a particularly good scene. Jonathan Nichols is a patient who stiffs Becker (Ted Danson) on his bills so Danson is mean to him. Beating up on the patient… read more
Watchmen (2019) s01e09 – See How They Fly
The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 11, 2020
I’ve been trying to gin up enthusiasm to write about this “Watchmen” finale all day. Though, if I think hard enough, I’m sure I’ll be able to come up with a compliment. Something like… thanks to “Watchmen: The Series,” Robert Wisdom’s most… unappreciative recent casting is no longer read more

They say it's my birthday (now I'm sixty-four)
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 19, 2019
Facebook friend David Hardwick supplied this surprise -- a scene of Carole Lombard, with birthday cake, from "Brief Moment." It's been some time since I last saw this 1933 Columbia drama, so I don't recall this scene, nor did I know such a still existed.Yes, today is my birthday, as I turn two to th read more

They Won’t Believe Me (1947)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 8, 2018
We open in a courtroom and with a flashback but what’s stunning is that the man relating the information is on the witness stand and also the defendant in a murder trial. So much hangs in the balance of the perspective he’s about to disclose and that’s how the picture nabs us. Oft read more
