Since Sunday tends to be a day of quiet and reflection for many people, it seems an appropriate day to celebrate silent movies. But in keeping with the “day of rest” theme, I’m just going to post this without any commentary and just sit back and let you enjoy. read more

Another Saturday means another Saturday Double Feature! Okay, let’s start with a quick recap of the “rules”, shall we? The basic idea here is to take a movie that is out in theaters now, and pair it up with another movie from the 1980s or before. Sometimes the connection will be ob read more

Just a quick one today for those of you who are fans of last year’s terrific Wonder Woman movie and/or of the hit 70s Wonder Woman television show starring Linda Carter. Back when the classic 1966 Batman TV show was at its height, DC decided to try to expand its television presence with a tele read more

Between this blog and my previous one, Professor Damian’s Public Domain Treasure Chest, I’ve been writing about movies for quite a while now. Because of that, there are a lot of posts that have simply gotten lost to the mists of time. So, I figured I’d use the idea of “Throwb read more

I actually came to David Mamet’s House of Games a bit sideways. Nowadays, of course, it would catch my eye because of Mamet’s name and my love for his unique style of writing dialogue. However I actually saw House of Games long before I was aware if Mamet as a screenwriter and director. read more

Some of the most popular posts here recently seem to have been those dealing with Old Time Radio, so I thought maybe it was time to bring back a regular weekly feature on old radio shows. Back when I first started this blog, a regular feature was Old Time Radio Thursday, so I figured that as a good read more

And here we are, back again with another look at one of the world’s best movies as designated by the Sight and Sound Top 250 Movies of All Time list. This time around, it’s #013 on the list, Jean Luc Godard’s Breathless. And as always I’ll note that for those just joining us, read more

This past week, DC Comics held a meeting with the American Library Association at which they announced two new imprints within the company – DC Ink and DC Zoom, both of which will be aimed at younger readers than their current main line of comics. One of the interesting announcements to come o read more

As a “franchise” Cloverfield certainly has an odd history. The first movie, simply titled Cloverfield, was a found-footage take on the kaiju/giant monster/Godzilla genre. To be honest, although there have been found footage movies that I’ve enjoyed, I wasn’t a fan. Then came read more

Once again we continue our journey through the Sight and Sound Top 250 Movies of All Time list, we come to #228, Pier Paolo Passolinis Salo, or The 120 Days of Sodom. And as always I’ll note that for those just joining us, you can find a full introduction to what the Sight and Sound Top 250 li read more

I seem to have been on a bit of a Kurt Russell kick lately. Just recently I wrote about The Mean Season, which starred Russell as a reporter who has to track down and confront a serial killer, and now it’s 1994’s Stargate which also features Russell as Colonel Jack O’Neil. I have t read more

Get Out is one of those movies that I heard quite a bit about last year, but just never got around to seeing, something I’ve thankfully now remedied. Coming from first time writer and director Jordan Peele, previously best known for the comedy sketch show Key and Peele,, a horror movie like Ge read more

This past Christmas my son got me a Mill Creek box set called Awesomely Cheesy Movies. 100 movies on 24 disks, it’s actually a combination of two of their earlier released sets, “The Swinging Seventies”, and “The Excellent Eighties”. For those of you who may not be fam read more

I was having a chat the other day with a friend of mine. It started as a discussion of the new Tom Hanks/Meryl Streep film The Post., but soon moved to other movies about newspapers and reporters. That was when my friend, who used to be a reporter himself, brought up a movie that I hadn’t thou read more
