I am delighted to announce that for the second year in a row I will be providing coverage of the TCM Classic Film Festival as an official member of the media.

The pastoral romantic epic Far From the Madding Crowd is now available on Blu-ray in a new release from Warner Archive.

RIP Louis Jourdan . Such a beautiful man. I just hated him for breaking Joan Fontaine's heart in Letter From an Unknown Woman (1948), but I understood why she fell so hard for him.
I can't believe there have been six ties in Oscar history. It seems like that would be almost impossibl read more
Warner Archive: William Shatner Battles Himself in White Comanche (1968)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Feb 18, 2015
The new Warner Archive release White Comanche features William Shatner playing half-breed twins at war with each other. If you like Shatner or the kind of oddball films that he picks, or more likely inspires with his presence, then this bare bones Western will not disappoint.

My mother and I were at a film once, and we came out through the lobby and she said, 'I want to see you do that someday.' And that was all that was needed. Because I already wanted to do it. But you have to have somebody tell you, or you need to be pushed a bit. And that's the only th read more

Wild Women from Warner Archive: Nancy Kwan and Mamie Van Doren
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Feb 11, 2015
I love the high-spirited, incredibly silly flicks that Warner Archive has been releasing lately. The new batch is as much fun as the pair of 60s films I reviewed last Wednesday.
This week's double feature is headlined by two very different female characters who are heading towards domestic life, wh read more

The Sound of Music Story
Tom Santopietro
St. Martin's Press, 2015
The Sound of Music Story begins just as the famous movie does, with Julie Andrews purposefully striding up a green hillside and effortlessly twirling as she begins to sing. The only difference: this time she is flung to the ground by read more

For me, acting is not an all-consuming thing, except for the moment when I'm actually doing it. There is a point beyond acting, a point where living becomes important.

Classic Movies Posted by KC on Feb 2, 2015
I had a lot of fun checking out the oddball sixties comedies Panic Button and Kill or Cure this week, both new releases from Warner Archive. Offbeat flicks like these are a huge reason why I love MOD (Manufacture on Demand) discs so much.
