Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Sep 9, 2015

Yeah, I really am trying to get caught up on writing about some of these. This time around, it’s #43 on the list, Bily Wilder’s Some Like It Hot. And as always I’ll just note that for those just joining us, you can find a full introduction to what the Sight and Sound Top 250 list i read more

And Never The Twain Should Meet – High And Low (1963)

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Sep 2, 2015

***Spoiler Warning*** Yes, once again, I’m writing about a 50+ year old movie, but to me that doesn’t matter. As I’ve noted before, if you’ve never seen the film, it’s a new movie to you, and there are certain twists in the plot that I will be discussing that you might read more

Sight and Sound Top 250 – #077 Nashville (1975)

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Sep 1, 2015

Finally, it’s time for a return to my look at movies on Sight and Sound’s most recent Top 250 All-Time Greatest Films list. Yes, it’s been awhile since we’ve visited the list, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been watching them, just that I’ve had other read more

Covering Comics #4 – The Fantastic Four (Part Two)

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Aug 30, 2015

I’ve often said that I miss the comics covers of old. Those covers were designed, unlike many of the ones being produced today which are merely mini-posters spotlighting the titular character without giving any indication of the story contained inside, to draw readers in and make them anxious read more

Classic Television Thursday #38 – Mission: Impossible (1966-1973)

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Aug 27, 2015

I know that I said I would be following up the last Classic Television Thursday post with more on the Amos and Andy TV show, and I will be in a couple of weeks, but I decided that could wait a little bit when, during a discussion with one of my younger co-workers of the new Mission: Impossible movie read more

Turning A Negative Into A Positive – Here’s How Fox Could Turn The Fantastic Four From Bomb To Perfect Sequel Set-Up

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Aug 12, 2015

So despite the critical drubbing and the box office failure of their new Fantastic Four movie, Fox says they remain “committed to these characters”. Fine. While I would prefer to see them let the rights revert back to Marvel so that we could see what their home studio could do with them read more

Covering Comics #3 – The Fantastic Four (Part One)

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Aug 8, 2015

I’ve often said that I miss the comics covers of old.

Don’t Bother Getting Dressed Up For This Dance – Prom Night (1980)

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Aug 5, 2015

My daughter Hannah just happened to be with me when I decided to check out the first episode of MTV’s new Scream television series. We both enjoyed it, but we both decided before watching any more of it she should get “caught up” by watching the original Scream movies. Fortunately, read more

Covering Comics #2 – Tales To Astonish

A Classic TV Thursday Bonus – The Frito Bandito

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jul 30, 2015

Today, of course, a character like the Frito Bandito likely wouldn’t be allowed to be a commercial spokesman, because he would be considered racist. However, back in the day… Oh, and if the voice in that commercial sounds familiar, it’s because yes, it is the ever-popular and extr read more

Classic Television Thursday #37 – Amos and Andy (Part One)

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jul 30, 2015

So coming off a couple of weeks where we looked a classic television shows from the 70s, I thought we’d go a bit of a different route for the next couple of weeks and head much further back, to a show that began on radio in the 1920s, but ran specifically on television from 1951 to 1953. It read more

Sometimes It’s Hard To Tell The Good Guys From the Bad – Bandolero! (1968)

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jul 29, 2015

***SPOILER WARNING! Yeah, the movie is almost 50 years old, but as I’ve often noted, if you haven’t seen it before, then it might as well have come out yesterday. Plus, it’s not one of those that’s well enough known that the plot twists (and there are a few) would be popularl read more

The Old Order Changeth – Avengers: Age Of Ultron And Avengers Vol 1 #16

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jul 28, 2015

***Spoiler Warning!!! This article deals with the very end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, So if you haven’t seen it yet and plan to, I advise you to turn back now. Seriously, I’m literally dealing with the last shot in the movie (no, not the mid-credit Easter egg, but the last shot of the m read more

Why I Blog About Movies – Soldier In The Rain (1963)

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jul 26, 2015

There are a number of reasons that I decided to start this particular blog. Soldier in the Rain is one of them. Now don’t misunderstand what I’m saying here. This is one of those movies that until a relatively short while ago I had never even heard of, and I’m going to bet that mos read more

Classic Television Thursday #36 – Sanford And Son (1972 – 1977)

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jul 23, 2015

Last week, we took a look at Maude, one of the classic Norman Lear series from the 70s, and I thought today I’d do a follow-up featuring another of Mr. Lear’s classic sitcoms, Sanford and Son. Originally based on the BBC sitcom Steptoe and Son, it didn’t take long for the show to read more

A Classic TV Thursday Bonus – It’s The Real Thing

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jul 23, 2015

While we’re celebrating the 70s in the regular Classic TV Thursday posts, I thought I’d throw in this classic commercial for Coke. Trust me, gang, you really don’t get much more early 70s than this. It was an earworm before anybody’d even thought of the word “earworm read more

Saturday Breakfast Serial 025 – Dick Tracy vs Crime Inc. (1941) Chapter 15: Retribution

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jul 18, 2015

I know, I’ve been away for awhile and I kind of left you all hanging without posting the last chapter of Dick Tracy vs Crime Inc. Well, better late than never, right? And, for those of you who may be just joining us, or who just want to catch up, here are the previous posts for this serial:1, read more

Classic Television Thursday #35 – Maude (1972 – 1978)

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jul 16, 2015

Y’know, it’s kind of odd to think about the shows that I grew up with as “classic” TV shows, but of course since they’re now around 40 years old, I guess they do qualify. After all, to today’s generation they’re as much ancient history as the shows from the read more
