The Testament of Judith Barton
Wendy Powers and Robin McLeod
2011
I felt like the embattled heroine of The Testament of Judith Barton when I started reading this book. I meant to read a few pages, but then it sucked me in, and my only escape was to see it through to the end.

One day I was having coffee on the set, just drinking coffee out of a styrofoam cup. And I was wearing the black dress with the red embossed roses. It was the day of the auction scene when there were a lot of extras around. And he came up to me and he said, "Eva Marie, you should not drink your coff read more

Georges Méliès: The Lady in the Moon
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Apr 7, 2012
I'm not sure why I always assumed that the moon in Méliès’ A Trip to the Moon (1902) was a man. It could be anyone under all that goo. I think it’s mostly because whenever I read about the movie, the writer would inevitably make that common reference to “the man on the moon.” read more

Georges Méliès: Favorite Films
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Apr 5, 2012

Here are a few of my favorites: Le papillon fantastique (1909) I love the bright blue, yellow and orange hues cho read more

Soundtrack Review: Le Voyage Dans La Lune by Air
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Apr 4, 2012
Air is one of my favorite bands, so I would have thought I’d be delighted when I heard they would be composing the soundtrack for the color restoration of A Trip to the Moon (1902), but I wasn’t so sure about it at first. Though the band has always used a rich pallet of sounds, from banj read more
