Beating the March Madness Blues with Knute
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Mar 26, 2014
Little Mercer defeating the Big Bad Duke. That stunning Laettner shot you prayed wouldn’t go in. Davidson paying for busloads of its students to attend the Elite Eight. If you were born near corn and have since transplanted to either coast, I don’t care how thin your grasp of the finer rules (a read more
Like Liz Lemon’s Sugarbaker Meltdown? See Bette Davis in All about Eve
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Mar 20, 2014
I always love a comedic meltdown, and 30 Rock‘s Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) is brilliant at them. In one of my favorite episodes, The C Word (Season 1, Episode 14), Lemon tries to earn a reputation as a nice boss by spoiling her staff. Of course, her subordinates quickly exploit her kindness, resulti read more

Sherlock Holmes Meets Paris Hilton: The Mad Miss Manton (1938)
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Mar 16, 2014
This post is part of Movies Silently’s Sleuthathon. Check out other entries on her site! Imagine pitching this story idea: a Paris Hilton type with a pack of tiny dogs solves a crime New York cops can’t. It sounds like a Beyond Balderdash card, doesn’t it? That couldn’t possibly be a real movie read more

The Death of the Marital Rom-Com: Where Have All the Toppers Gone?
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Mar 10, 2014
When is the last time you watched a rom-com about a married couple? Aside from the occasional indie and rare mainstream flick, Hollywood seems to have retired this subject matter, despite the success of TV shows such as Mad about You, Everybody Loves Raymond, and The King of Queens. Yet I came up wi read more

Three Hypocritical Oscar Moments
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Mar 5, 2014
1. Ellen Insulting Her Wife’s Arrested Development Costar I don’t know about you, but if my wife had been flayed in the press for her plastic surgery, I would avoid digs like the one Ellen gave Liza Minnelli at Sunday’s Oscars. Kimmel’s Spoof Oscars Night: Perhaps Pre-Spat? While Portia read more

No Oscar Love for Harold Ramis: The Academy, as Humorless as Ever
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Feb 27, 2014
Harold Ramis, whom President Obama labeled “one of America’s greatest satirists,” died this week shortly before this Sunday’s Oscars. His list of co-writing credits is astonishing: Animal House, Stripes, Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day. He also directed the latter, Caddyshack, and read more

The Anti-House of Cards: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Feb 20, 2014
I had been looking forward to the return of House of Cards for months. Frank Underwood’s (Kevin Spacey’s) skewering of his opponents is almost as fascinating to watch as his wife Claire’s (Robin Wright’s) icy machinations. But something about the nonstop snow, ice, and wind this winter has made read more

3 Classic Anti-Valentine’s Films for Sex and the City Fans
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Feb 13, 2014
Single or attached, I’ve always loathed Valentine’s Day. When single, I’ve wondered why our couples-obsessed culture needs a day devoted to twosomes. When attached, I’ve pondered why I should celebrate en masse what’s supposed to be intimate. Therefore, my three recs today are for those who read more

Unhealthy Obsessions: Laura and Her
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Feb 6, 2014
Her (2013) starts with an unoriginal premise: guy falls for an inappropriate thing, his society doesn’t judge him for it, and the audience is left to (a) reconsider their understanding of relationships and/or (b) fear a future in which falling for an operating system is acceptable. (Substitute read more
Slacker Detectives: Psych and The Thin Man
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Jan 30, 2014
Years ago, I tried without success to get my sisters into the TV show Psych. “The mysteries are stupid,” they said. “The mysteries aren’t the point,” I replied. “You can’t ignore them!” they claimed. But I have, and I do, and so did the viewers of The Thin Man series starring William read more

Want to View a Hitchcock? Try Notorious.
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Jan 23, 2014
Vertigo was recently crowned the best film of all time, but the objectification of its heroine is hard to take on an empty stomach. Rear Window, also beloved by critics, is slow paced and clever rather than frightening, known for being groundbreaking in style. For the slow-burning suspense the maste read more
