Seattle International Film Festival 2016: Buster Keaton on the Big Screen in The General (1926)

Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jun 11, 2016

The General (1926) has endured as one of Buster Keaton's greatest features, because it perfectly balances the wit and physical abilities of his stone-faced hero. Today a near capacity crowd enjoyed a 4K restoration at the Egyptian Theater, with a new symphonic score from Studio Ghibli composer Joe H read more

Comic Legends Together: Chaplin, Keaton, Lloyd and More!

Classic Movie Hub Blog Posted by Annmarie Gatti on Oct 4, 2015

Just for Fun: When Comic Legends Gather, it makes for some awesome pictures… I can’t help but marvel at the comedic talent (understatement) that emerged during the Silent Era — Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd…  It’s really mind-boggling… That said, ho read more

The Haunted House (1921, Edward F. Cline and Buster Keaton)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 5, 2015

The Haunted House has some excellent gags. There’s a lot of set gags in the finale, when bank clerk Keaton ends up in the–well, the haunted house. His coworker–a delightfully evil Joe Roberts–is actually a counterfeiter who uses the haunted house to print money; the haunted read more

Neighbors (1920, Edward F. Cline and Buster Keaton)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 15, 2015

I’m not sure what the best thing is about Neighbors. There’s the comic pacing, there’s the comic acrobatics, there’s the story, there’s the acting. Co-directors Keaton and Cline quickly introduce this fantastic setup–Romeo and Juliet across a fence in an alley an read more

The Scarecrow (1920, Edward F. Cline and Buster Keaton)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 8, 2015

The Scarecrow opens with a lengthy practical effects sequence. Buster Keaton and Joe Roberts are roommates and they have an elaborately designed “concise” home. It’s like IKEA’s dream, only with manually pulled ropes instead of some kind of remote control. (There’s als read more

Convict 13 (1920, Edward F. Cline and Buster Keaton)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jun 24, 2015

Convict 13 has some undeniably funny stuff in it, but directors Keaton and Cline rely almost entirely on physical comedy. By physical, I mean actors doing choreographed comedy. Sometimes it’s Keaton, both for the smaller sequences and the larger, or Joe Roberts as a gigantic, revolting prison read more

One Week (1920, Edward F. Cline and Buster Keaton)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jun 17, 2015

One Week is pretty much perfect. Directors Cline and Keaton structure the short beautifully. It takes place over a week, the passage of days torn off calendar pages, as newlyweds Keaton and Sybil Seely set up their home. Literally, set up; they’re constructing their own pre-fab and things go read more

The ‘High Sign’ (1921, Edward F. Cline and Buster Keaton)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 27, 2015

The ‘High Sign’ starts innocuously enough. Leading man Buster Keaton is out of work and answers a want ad to be a clerk at a shooting range. Maybe the tone of the short can be determined from Keaton stealing a cop’s gun to practice, because things don’t stay innocuous for lo read more

Buster Keaton Blogathon: It’s free and easy to love Free & Easy!

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by The Wonderful World of Cinema on Feb 9, 2015

Free & Easy is a 1930’s film, kind of a musical comedy, directed by Edward Sedgwick and starring Buster Keaton, Robert Montgomery, Anita Page and Trixie Friganza. This movie was Buster Keaton first talking picture and, unfortunately, it didn’t have a big success and it’s not o read more

Buster Keaton on “The Twilight Zone”

The Vintage Cameo Posted by Emily on Mar 19, 2014

Looking back with the benefit of a half-century’s worth of media history, the original run of The Twilight Zone seems like it was a breeding ground for soon-to-be-famous stars: it featured early-career appearances from actors like Robert Duvall, William Shatner, Martin Landau, and many more.
