What’s on TCM: April 2010
Hollywood Revue Posted by Angela on Mar 30, 2010
Looking over TCM’s schedule for April, I have to say that it’s looking like a somewhat slow month. And by “slow month,” I mean there’s a lot of good stuff, but not a lot of stuff that’s new to me. But that’s OK though, because some of the stuff that is ne read more
Metropolis Rediscovered
Hollywood Revue Posted by Angela on Mar 13, 2010
In a previous post, I talked about how excited I was for the big Metropolis restoration complete with lots of previously lost footage. Kino International is planning a DVD/Blu-Ray release of the newly restored version for December 2010, so I just figured I’d have to wait until then to see it read more

Hollywood Revue Posted by Angela on Feb 27, 2010
As March rolls in, 31 Days of Oscar enters its final days. But there’s still plenty to see in those final days. On Monday, March 1st at 9:30 AM EST, there’s Possessed starring Joan Crawford and Van Heflin. Most people consider Mildred Pierce to be the highlight of Joan Crawford’ read more
In Defense of The Broadway Melody (1929)
Hollywood Revue Posted by Angela on Feb 23, 2010
I don’t think any Best Picture winner gets a bad rap more than The Broadway Melody. And, to an extent, I do agree with it. I don’t think the story is particularly great. The premise is pretty basic: two sister vaudevillians move to New York to be in a new show, success drives a wedge read more

TCM Day in Review: 2/14/10
Hollywood Revue Posted by Angela on Feb 15, 2010
Yesterday was most certainly been the most five-star day on TCM this month! Yesterday afternoon, I was able to watch: The More the Merrier, The Devil and Miss Jones, The Lady Eve, and Ball of Fire. And those are only the ones I saw. I skipped Notorious, High Society, and most of A Foreign Affair read more
Unseen Metropolis Footage
Hollywood Revue Posted by Angela on Feb 14, 2010
I never have been like most people my age. When I was in middle/high school, everyone wanted to watch that televised celebration of mediocrity called Friends. I was busy watching re-runs of Twin Peaks. When I was in college, I stayed in and watched Antiques Roadshow on Saturday nights while almo read more
TCM Day in Review: 2/9/10
Hollywood Revue Posted by Angela on Feb 10, 2010
When I started this blog, I had the intention of writing about movies one at a time. But with 31 Days of Oscar going on, there are several days where I can see a bunch of fantastic movies in one day. Yesterday was certainly one of those days: Alice Adams, Ninotchka, Stalag 17, and Network. When read more
Gold Diggers of 1933
Hollywood Revue Posted by Angela on Feb 4, 2010
Right now, I’m kind of obsessed with Busby Berkeley musicals. 42nd Street, Footlight Parade, Dames, I love them all. I can’t watch one of his musical numbers without wondering what on Earth was going through Berkeley’s mind when he came up with these kaleidoscopic extravaganzas. read more
2010 Oscar Nominees
Hollywood Revue Posted by Angela on Feb 2, 2010
I’m the first to admit that I’m no expert on newer movies so it’s not always easy for me to comment on award shows. However, I usually find the Oscars are pretty easy to predict even if you haven’t seen a single nominated movie. They’re really pretty easy to figure read more
Calling All Harold Lloyd Fans!
Hollywood Revue Posted by Angela on Feb 2, 2010
Last year, two very good friends of mine, Nikki McKim and Cohen Phillips, arranged a truly fantastic tribute to Harold Lloyd: a birthday party for Harold held at Harold’s birthplace in Burchard, NE. It was such a success last year that they have decided to make it an annual event! If youR read more

Hollywood Revue Posted by Angela on Feb 1, 2010
It’s that time of year again! It’s already February, which can only mean one thing for classic film fans: it’s time for Turner Classic Movies’ annual 31 Days of Oscar. Make sure you have plenty of space on your DVRs or lots of blank DVDs for your DVD recorders because, like read more
