Warner Archive: Buckets of Drool in The Black Scorpion (1957)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 22, 2014
The minute I finished watching the new Warner Archive disc of The Black Scorpion, I did a quick Google search: "Do scorpions drool?" I got two links, both of them to reviews of this movie. So my guess is no, they probably don't in real life, but they sure do in this movie. I mean big, gushing rivers read more

When I first got into pictures, there would be something on the marquees saying "Dallas' Own Joan Blondell," or "Battle Creek Michigan's Own Joan Blondell" or "Chicago's Own Joan Blondell," because someone would remember that I'd been to school there for a week.

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Italian actress Virna Lisi. Though I don't know her work well, I adore her performance in Anyone Can Play (1968). It was so much fun to see her and her glamorous costars get the opportunity to be goofy--The Guardian

Warner Archive: Young Robert Mitchum in Till The End of Time (1946)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 17, 2014
I was drawn to the new Warner Archive release Till the End of Time (1946) almost entirely because it features Robert Mitchum in an early supporting role, a year after his breakout in Story of G.I. Joe (1945). Other than that, I was happy to see Dorothy McGuire in the cast list, but not so excited by read more

Theatrical Review: Comin' At Ya! (1981) in 3D
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 15, 2014
Comin' At Ya is 3D for the sake of 3D. With guns, snakes, fists, even a bare baby bottom hurtling at you, you are never allowed to forget that. It was the first film in a short-lived 3D revival in the early eighties, and successful enough that its makers explored the format again with Treasure of th read more

Quote of the Week
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 14, 2014
You must cut out feeling abused. If you hang on to all that foolish stuff, it will prevent you from going ahead, from creating. I know, because that’s what happened to me once. But it will never happen again, no matter what.
-Jean Arthur, in 1972

Cult Midnight Movies
Danny Peary
Workman Publishing, 2014
I'm delighted that Danny Peary's essays about cult movies are now available in eBook form. It's hard to explain just how important Danny Peary's books were to me as a movie-obsessed teenager. In a pre-Internet world, I relied heavily on the read more
