We’ve discussed My Favorite Wife before, and by that I mean the remake that was to be made entitled Something’s Gotta Give and starring Marilyn Monroe.  Unfortunately, that movie never came to fruition but there was a remake of this film in 1963 with Doris Day (which I’ve never see read more

I thought I’d use today’s entry as a further means of showcasing my current reviews that readers might not check out.  This is my review courtesy of my fine employers over at Enewsi.com Director Steven Soderbergh has to be wearing himself out at the rate he makes movies. He made one back read more

I’m pretty set in my ways when it comes to “teen movies.”  Suffice it to say, I don’t want just anything because it’s for girls.  The movie I keep getting told is so amazing is the 2003 film What a Girl Wants, I have numerous friends who swear this is a fantastic movie read more

To start, thanks for the recommendations from Mrs. This One from the Mrs. and Mrs. blog (check out the awesome blog via the link on the BlogRoll).  I’m running out of pre-written reviews and needed something so I’ll definitely be checking out the recommends over the weekend.  I’m read more

My apologies on the lack of a blog post yesterday.  I was at the NFC Championships watching the 49ers throw away a Superbowl and didn’t get home in time to post.  I’m back on track and this post, going up Tuesday, will essentially be Monday’s post since I want it to actually get read more

So this was not meant to be today’s post but thanks to the lovely gremlins of WordPress it accidentally got published without any words so in the interest of not having to explain why a post came and went…I’ll just post this.  The Last American Virgin was a recommend from a listene read more

Masque of the Red Death was the second of three movies I watched while randomly perusing Netflix Watch Instantly.  This was sandwiched right in-between first time viewings of Countess Dracula and Caligula (yes this is true).  With Countess Dracula being a Hammer film there were preconceived notions read more

I had heard that The Myth of the American Sleepover was THE coming-of-age film, hearkening back to classic last day of school films from the 80s.  That’s a pretty tall order to fill and while Myth has some beautiful words, it’s truly hard to believe them coming from teens who just try to read more

So if you’re not aware (or haven’t read my About Me section) I’m the movie editor for the fantastic CC2KOnline.  I’ll start posting my reviews and latest stories here for all you readers and the second (the first being my Top 10 Best Movies of the Year…go check it out!) read more

There are so many of these posts that probably end with “I’m an awful film buff” that I should give them their own tag.  None worse than the declaration I’m going to make right now…up until last week I had never seen Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho all the way through! read more

Hey, everyone if you’re reading this it’s because you expected a movie review.  Unfortunately, there will not be one today in solidarity with the numerous websites that are protesting against the SOPA/PIPA bills.  Please Google these laws and vote NO on any petition you see today!  Revie read more

Detroit Rock City isn’t a classic film in any way but it is one of hopefully 100 movies I see for the first time in 2012.  For the most part the Marilyn movies have kept me busy, but now that we’re done with it, I’m moving on to other movies.  So Detroit Rock City was a recommend read more

I recently saw Kiss Me Deadly on Criterion and contemplated purchasing it, sight unseen because I love anything Criterion.  Unfortunately I didn’t have the money for it and decided to just watch it via TCM.  While I’m a big film noir fan I was left a little cold by Robert Aldrich’s read more

I’ve read Richard Matheson’s novel “The Legend of Hell House” and enjoying it, although I don’t quite remember the story.  It’s easy to confuse this movie with something else as there’s many films with “Legend” and “House” in the horr read more

So I figured I’d use tonight’s entry to recap, look back, and reflect on the catalyst that caused me to start this blog, My Month with Marilyn.  I write for several sites but don’t get to discuss classic film on a daily, or more than weekly basis.  Having two Marilyn Monroe box set read more

Tonight’s movie, The Misfits, concludes the works of Ms. Marilyn Monroe and ends This (Slightly More Than) Month with Marilyn.  We still have two more entries in the series with tomorrow’s review of My Week with Marilyn and an overall wrap-up of the series.  I’ll go further into read more

The entire reason I started My Month with Marilyn was because of the 2011 film My Week with Marilyn, based on the memoirs of Colin Clark.  After much waiting the movie finally hit my theater and I thought it appropriate to review it in the context of all the Marilyn films I’ve been watching. read more

We’re winding down in our Month with Marilyn (that’s gone on far longer than the allotted time) and we’re coming up to the last five entries (3 movies, my review of My Week with Marilyn, and an overall wrap-up).  After that it’s up to you what I cover so send me suggestions&# read more

This is the second to last in Marilyn movie reviews (not counting my upcoming review of My Week with Marilyn).  I’m officially done with both my Marilyn Monroe box sets (I’ve only had them for over a year) and this movie cements Marilyn into the harsh world of 1960s.  She’d do one read more
