Video of the Week: “The Killing of a Chinese Bookie” (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 6, 2013
I cannot believe this hasn’t been taken down yet. Amazing. Here is John Cassavetes‘ The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976) in its entirety. I believe this is the version he re-cut in 1978. No matter which version you see, Timothy is spellbinding as garrulous gangster Flo. One minute he&# read more
Quote of the Week (5)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 3, 2013
For “God” Hilliard, rock music is the spark that wakes a slumbering, egotistical fascist within his sleepy-eyed insurance salesman facade. After his everyday existence as an unfulfilled white-collar dreamer is established, Hilliard is lightning-struck entranced and inspired by a flaxen-h read more

Quote of the Week (6)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 27, 2013
When you line up Carey’s noir work, it’s clear that the idiosyncratic touches he gives his minor characters truly set them apart. In the undervalued Allied Artists cheapie Finger Man (1955), Carey gets quite a bit more screen time… and steals the film from stars Frank Lovejoy and F read more

Pic of the Day: “Rumble on the Docks” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 22, 2013
Today we take another look at Rumble on the Docks (1956), one of director Fred F. Sears‘ drive-in classics of the 1950s. Here we see torpedo Frank Mangus making time with the honeys at a shindig thrown by his boss. I’m not sure who the lucky extra is. This enjoyable flick marked the fir read more

Quote of the Week (7)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 20, 2013
Carey’s final project as a film director is Godfarter III (1989), an audition piece for Coppola, who was looking to cast the role of an elderly Mafia don for The Godfather: Part III (1990). Coppola considered Carey too young for the part (and may also have been put off by Carey’s earlier read more
