A lot of insanity brewed over the week, kickstarted by the announcement of the dates for the 2015 TCM Classic Film Festival. Anything after that is just nice to know, right? It’s that time, when rabid classic film fans fight over hotel rooms for the upcoming TCM Classic Film Festival. TCM ha read more

A double dose of wax museums kickstar this week’s Halloween reviews as I compare and contrast Mystery of the Wax Museum with its remake, House of Wax. (We’re going to pretend the 2005 remake doesn’t exist.) Mystery and House are practically the same movie, albeit the latter boasts read more

You can tell Halloween is upon us due to the increase in horror-related reviews you fine readers checked out this week. You also were getting a jump on Christmas, as well as resurrecting some old favorites. Let’s see what reviews and articles got some love over the last week. 10. The Exorcis read more

It was always decided that I’d include I Married a Witch during my Halloween festivities.  After all, it was the film that brought Veronica Lake into my life.  To give some context, Sullivan’s Travels cemented my love for Veronica, but I Married a Witch was the first film I ever saw her read more

An uneventful news post for the week with a couple new items to add to your Amazon and ClassicFlix queues (see what I did there?). New on DVD and Blu-ray  Warner Archive: Warner sneakily released two Olivia De Havilland films, one made before her iconic turn in Gone With the Wind; Wings of the Nav read more

Hi everyone! The chill is in the air, and it’s the feeling that I’m gearing up for the hardest thing I’ve done in my academic career: the Masters Exam! Yep, November 14th is the big day and I’m telling you this because I assume you readers and I are friends, and it’ll a read more

Do you feel that chill in the air, the rain coming down (if you’re lucky to live in a place not affected by a drought like I am)? That’s the sound of fall in the air, and we all know what that means: HALLOWEEN!!! Halloween cannot come soon enough but there’s got to be more on TCM t read more

Summer might be over but there’s still magic to be found in cinema. Summer Magic was originally planned as a vehicle for Disney darling Annette Funicello, but the success of starlet Hayley Mills made her too irresistible to pass up for this Meet Me in St. Louis throwback. A heartwarming tale o read more

The 20th anniversary of Turner Classic Movies deserved a more bombastic celebration than it got. Anyone lucky to attend the TCM Classic Film Festival this year had the opportunity to attend several panels and lectures about the history of the channel, right down to looking at the changes in marketin read more

In this week’s update: Another sad Hollywood passing, gearing up for Halloween on various television channels, and what’s new on DVD and Blu-ray. Polly Bergen, star of the 1950s classic Cape Fear, passed away at 84. An official obit can be read here. It’s been a cruel year for cl read more

Dragonwyck holds much in common with a lot of movies, maybe because author Anya Seaton spent a couple weeks locked up with Gothic romances. If you’ve sat and enjoyed Rebecca, Jane Eyre, or Wuthering Heights than Dragonwyck has a lot of merit with its sumptuous costumes and sets inhabited by a read more

Another wild assortment of popular posts this week including more appearances from Lauren Bacall and Maggie MacNamara. 10. Young Man With a Horn (1950) 9. TCM Classic Film Festival Wrap-Up Rumors are spreading that the 2015 festival date is coming this week! 8. The Sex Symbol (1974) If I promise read more

Originally published on ClassicFlix.com “Cinderella was a dark horse,” a phrase which best sums up the comedic romance, Girl Trouble. This effervescent comedy starring Don Ameche and Joan Bennett takes a simple premise, clocking in at less than 90-minutes, and turns into a screwball cape read more

A slow news day this week (as the holidays come closer the news tends to slow down). Click below to check out what’s new on DVD and Blu-ray. Warner Archive: Slap on your spurs and jump on a horse because Warner Archive is all about the West this week. The big exclusive is the release of Nich read more

It’s always a bad idea for me to watch a Tudor drama.  My rampant love and overabundance of knowledge has the tendency to color my perspective of any Hollywood attempt to cash in on the story of Henry the VIII and his descendants (or acquaintances, or really anyone who strolled through the tim read more

Writing a biography is a challenge (understatement of the century), and the challenge only increases depending on how much information on your subject is readily available. Richard Kirby has his work cut out for him with Desperately Seeking Marie Prevost, a good beginner’s guide for those unin read more

Not a ton of consistency in the reading this week, probably because the blog’s seen no set theme post-Summer Under the Stars. In case you missed anything, here’s what were the most read stories of the week. 10. The Jayne Mansfield Story (1980) Wow, I have no idea why this was so popula read more

The Mating Season was my choice during TCM’s Summer Under the Stars tribute to Thelma Ritter. Ritter was one of the best remembered character actresses of the golden era, and The Mating Season wouldn’t work as well as it does without her (the same could be said, in an ensemble sense, wit read more

You know the routine. Click after the jump for what’s going on in the world of classic film and what’s new on DVD and Blu-ray. The fall got a whole lot more epic with the announcement that TCM and Fathom Events are pairing up to bring Gone With the Wind to the big screen in honor of it read more

After watching and enjoying Captain Blood, I wanted to watch another swashbuckler and see if it’s a one size fits all genre.  While there’s some dubious treatment of the ladies in this movie, Tyrone Power and Maureen O’Hara are a scorching pair who elevate this campy pirate adventu read more
