The Month in Film: September 2012
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 26, 2012
The Month in Film is going up a few days early as Halloween will be starting soon. My movie totals continue to fall with school in full swing, although in my defense I’m still shocked I have time to write reviews and see movies at all. We’re down significantly from last month and any read more
Journeys in Classic Films 31 Nights of Halloween!
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 25, 2012
Yep blog mascot Veronica Lake is ushering in this year’s Halloween offerings. I’m really excited to do Halloween this year. I blogged about it on my personal Facebook page last year (and by “blogged” I mean made a photo album with mini-reviews serving as capt read more
Sabrina (1954) (1)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 25, 2012
If you didn’t read Saturday’s installment of the Golden Age on the Silver Screen I direct you to it here. I recommend it as watching Sabrina inspired me to watch this and let’s just say the two didn’t exactly mesh (in hindsight I apologize for my fangirl rant in that review& read more
Old Hollywood Book Reviews: Jaws – Memories From Martha’s Vineyard
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 24, 2012
I adore coffee table books! I had to say that and preface why Jaws: Memories From Martha’s Vineyard is both the best and most diverse of the coffee table books out there. I know friends like to display their books and show how snooty they are (I’m generalizing) but I’d be happy read more
The Audrey Hepburn Story (2000)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 23, 2012
The 2000s saw a real resurgence in made-for-television biopics on celebrities and today’s film is one of the earliest from that period. The 2000 miniseries on Audrey Hepburn received flack both when it came out and to this day. As I stated in my review of James Dean and last week read more
Dumbo (1941)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 22, 2012
Back with another edition of Journeys in the Disney Vault. I should mention we’ll see this series next week but once October hits we’ll only see it once as there’s a Halloween themed Disney animated film I’ll be including (astute viewers should know what it is). Aft read more
Cactus Flower (1969)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 21, 2012
Cactus Flower made my TCM Top Twelve back in June and boy did I wait too long to watch it. I thoroughly enjoyed this story of mistaken identity, gender studies, and a delightful Goldie Hawn as a confused girl simply looking for love. The film does provide easy outs as the film comes to its conclus read more
Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 20, 2012
I believe I’ve mentioned this in previous reviews but several factors have to coalesce for a comedy to withstand the test of time. A film like Sullivan’s Travels still works due to its universal themes and the lack of any type of technology or terminology that would date it. Th read more
Journeys In: October
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 18, 2012
I’m trying to revamp the Update posts a little hence the new name. Since I just had this idea I’ll be sure to roll it out towards the end of the month next month but what’s on tap for October? A lot on the plate and again, thanks to everyone whose dropped by this week as part of read more
Old Hollywood Book Reviews: Veronica – The Autobiography of Veronica Lake
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 17, 2012
Two weeks ago I reviewed the Veronica Lake biography Peekaboo that sought to tell the “true” story of Lake’s life by way of her estranged mother Constance Marinos. You can read my review of it here but suffice to say I doubted everything author Jeff Lenburg said read more

The Universal Studios Backlot Tour Through the Years
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 14, 2012
The Universal Studios backlot and tour have gone through many changes throughout the decades. Thanks to the wonderful people on YouTube I’m hoping to give you a video tour of the working studio from past to present. I’ll be updating this section all weekend as I find vid read more
Why I Adore the Universal Studios Backlot
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 14, 2012
I try my hardest to visit Universal Studios Hollywood whenever my family and I make it out to Los Angeles. It’s easier said than done considering we usually stay at a Disneyland hotel and Universal is over an hour away (and the two companies don’t exactly like you seeking out the read more
Universal Backlot Blogathon: Friday’s Contributors

Alice Sweet Alice (1976) (1)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 11, 2012
I know it’s not Halloween yet but in all fairness, I’ve had Alice Sweet Alice for over three months and I was sick of looking at the red Netflix envelope. Since I’m hoping to do a special subsection of my 31 Days of Horror on killer kids you’ll probably see this revi read more
Old Hollywood Book Reviews – Michael Douglas: A Biography
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 10, 2012
Another edition of Old Hollywood Book reviews and this time I’ll be looking at an upcoming biography about one of Hollywood’s unsung actors and I’m not saying he’s unsung as in “not recognized,” just seemingly on the outskirts of full Hollywood stardom. Writer Ma read more
Bogie (1980)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 9, 2012
In this week’s installment of The Golden Age on the Silver Screen, and in honor of TCM’s month of Lauren Bacall, we’re going back to 1980 to view the world of Humphrey Bogart as depicted by the makers of television with the biopic Bogie. I have to say that I didn’t read more
Fantasia (1940)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Sep 8, 2012
It’s been at least fifteen years since I’ve seen Fantasia and yet this is the first time I’ve seen it all the way through. There’s no denying this is the most ambitious work put out by Disney to date (and sadly has never caught on with audiences as evidenced by the read more
