In Praise of Women's Pictures
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Aug 3, 2013
I have been looking over my iCheckMovies rating again this week, which always forces me to confront the fact that I just don't want to sit through some of the movies that make all of those official lists. As I peruse the highly ranked pictures, trying to will myself to buckle down to some of those f read more

Classic Films in Focus: KEY LARGO (1948)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Jul 31, 2013
One expects certain things from Bogart and Bacall: screen melting chemistry, sassy lines, the heady mix of cigarettes and sex appeal. We get these things in spades in pictures like To Have and Have Not (1944) and The Big Sleep (1946), but Key Largo (1948) lacks that scintillating sizzle between its read more
Classic Films in Focus: WEE WILLIE WINKIE (1937)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Jul 31, 2013
John Ford, best known as the director of masterful Westerns like Stagecoach (1939) and The Searchers (1956), seems an odd choice for a Shirley Temple feature, but the story that actually unfolds in Wee Willie Winkie (1937) plays on many of Ford's favorite themes. Darker and more mature than most of read more

Confessions of a Classic Movie Blogger
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Jul 30, 2013
I live in Huntsville, Alabama, where the big blogging news right now involves a local reporter who lost her job after posting "Confessions of a Red-Headed Reporter" about her less-than-professional practices. The story seems to be going viral, and the reporter appeared on the Today Show this morning read more

Before she was Ricky Ricardo’s wacky wife, Lucille Ball had a different career as an up-and-coming leading lady on the big screen. She never became as big a star there as she would on television, but Ball made several pictures that are still worth watching today, including the crime romance ma read more

Laird Cregar at 100
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Jul 28, 2013
July 28, 2013, marks the 100th birthday of classic Fox star Laird Cregar, one of my favorite lesser-known actors and the protagonist of one of Hollywood's most tragic stories. Cregar had been pegged by the studio as a heavy because of his large size and his air of hedonistic debauchery, but the acto read more
