Dream House (2011)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 16, 2012
I hate to use another pre-written, contemporary review but sadly I didn’t see any movies I could review right now so I’m putting it out there. This is the last pre-written one I have so that will thankfully force me to work on more movies for this blog so bear with me. Friday starts read more
All I Wanna Do (1998)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 15, 2012
Today’s entry isn’t a movie I’m watching for the first time, but I didn’t want to go into another slow spurt so I figured I’d do a movie I recently rewatched, and I haven’t seen it in a few years so it’s kind of first-time (I’m grasping at straws here) read more
Advance Review: This Means War (2012)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 14, 2012
As a movie reviewer I occasionally get invites to advance screenings. Today’s review is a repost of my Enewsi review but it is in advance of the film’s February 17th release date. I had high expectations for this film because I love Tom Hardy…but it was pretty lackluster. On read more
Death Becomes Her (1992)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 12, 2012
We return to our regularly scheduled movie reviewing after a bit of a break. Thank goodness I took that break or I wouldn’t have today’s movie, the 1992 comedy/horror film Death Becomes Her. Death Becomes Her has been on my Netflix “We Think You’d Like” list for a whi read more
Rear Window (1954)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 10, 2012
Another recommendation courtesy of the blog Mrs. and Mrs. (it’s on the Blog Roll, seriously check it out) and I know I have a few other recommendations but luckily this was on the Encore channel, I needed something to start off my weekend, so I watched it! I’ve gotten through a fair bit read more
The Loved Ones (2009)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 9, 2012
I’m a huge fan of foreign horror films, mostly because their horror movies are better than the ones made in the good old USA. So far in my exploration of foreign horror movies I’ve discovered the French are the most depraved (read my review of Inside), the British have great stories, th read more
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1982)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 8, 2012
For today’s entry I’m cheating a bit and doing a television movie but hey I’m slogging through school and haven’t had time to find any other classic films and my recent reviews don’t seem to be generating as much traffic as when I go older so…tv movie it is! But read more
A Few Announcements!
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 8, 2012
So the blog’s been going steady(ish) for three months and over 79 posts so that’s good! In that time there’s 11 Facebook friends, a few steady commenters and followers, three solid movie requests submitted by readers like you, and in the last week the blog has cracked 100 views tw read more
Village of the Damned (1960) (1)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 7, 2012
I’m a fan of “creepy kid” films, i.e. movies where children are possessed, murderous, aliens, what have you! Oddly enough, the British seem to have a hold of this genre as they’ve made some crazy forays into it. Just recently I saw the Deborah Kerr film The Innocents which read more
Contraband (2012)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 6, 2012
Here is another review of mine courtesy of Enewsi.com The “one last crime” genre is about as prevalent in films as teen movies or musicals. They’re all about the same, utterly forgettable, and enjoyable in the moment. That’s the best way to describe director Baltasar Kormakur and Mark Wahlberg’s read more
Little Darlings (1980)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 5, 2012
Oh the 1980s, a time for the teens as evidenced by the sheer multitude of teen-centric movies that came out. There’s the more well-known John Hughes movies, and the raunchy teen sex comedies (of which The Last American Virgin hails if you haven’t read my review on that film). What sepa read more
Repulsion (1965)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 4, 2012
I know someone will send me a comment (or at least I hope) that I didn’t like this movie because I didn’t “get it” and sure having only seen this once, for the first time, I probably didn’t get a great deal of it…but I don’t have an interest in rewatching it read more
Scares Surround The Woman in Black
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 4, 2012
As a special extra, here’s my review of the Daniel Radcliffe, Hammer Horror film The Woman in Black! Scares Surround The Woman in Black.

Real Steel (2011)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 3, 2012
In the interest of covering movies I’ve seen for the first time in 2012, I’m slowly getting through the few movies I didn’t hit in theaters last year, and Real Steel was one of them. The previews didn’t look that good, I mean it’s Rock’Em Sock’Em Robots: Th read more
Why The Help Doesn\’t Deserve to Be Nominated for Best Picture
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 3, 2012
An additional tidbit today looking at why The Help doesn’t deserve it’s Best Picture nomination! Why The Help Doesn\’t Deserve to Be Nominated for Best Picture. Once again, I have to say it was seeing how The Help was nominated for several Golden Globes that prompted my seeing Prec read more
Witness for the Prosecution (1957) (1)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 2, 2012
I was recommended today’s film by the excellent blog Mrs. and Mrs. (check it out via the Blogroll or at http://mrsandmrs.wordpress.com/). I’m always open to suggestions…I’ll watch any movie (good, bad, ugly) from any time period, and any genre (I’m not as big on foreig read more
Blondie of the Follies (1932)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Feb 1, 2012
So today’s entry takes us all the way back to 1932, where movies were still in their infancy and the stars of the era are pretty much unrecognizable to the majority of movie audiences today. I only watched Blondie of the Follies because of its star Marion Davies. I’m a huge classic Hol read more
The Innkeepers (2011)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Jan 31, 2012
It’s always sad for me to say how much I dislike a movie if I enjoyed the director’s previous work. So it is with today’s entry on The Innkeepers, a movie directed by independent director Ti West. His last film, The House of the Devil, is a fantastic, unsettling and taut thriller read more
Out of the Past (1947) (1)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Jan 30, 2012
I love watching The Essentials with Robert Osborne and Alec Baldwin on TCM, if you’re not watching it you’re not my friend! The thing I love is they give me their thoughts on these movies that I should have already seen before. It’s like watching movies with really knowledgeable read more
Caligula (1979)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Jan 29, 2012
So I had a hard time coming up with appropriate tags for this movie as I don’t want to lure in horny people expecting me to discuss porn or something, even though that’s pretty much what Caligula is….really expensive looking porn. Caligula is the last of three movies a friend and read more
