Re: I Just Watched...

The Boys from Brazil (1978) -- Ick. Pulpy story imagines that the infamous Dr. Mengele (Gregory Peck, uncomfortably cast) was making dozens of exact genetic clones of Hitler, as Nazi hunter Lawrence Olivier tries to track him down and untangle all the disturbing secrets. The film is a tawdry mess, ...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

Andree, I found a Bela Lugosi connection with Tom Hanks, but will wait first on you! I was mostly joking when I first posted that, but I'll take a look, though I have to admit it's not a top of the list thing. Yes, some of the connections are rather tenuous, but they still are connections. I have t...

Re: I Just Watched...

The Lovely Bones (2009) -- I recall that this was a fiasco in 2009. It pretty much obliterated all the goodwill that director Peter Jackson had following the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It lost a lot of money. And yet, Stanley Tucci was up for supporting actor for playing a serial killer (even if hi...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

Love Story (1970) was on last night. I was switching back and forth to it and I have some musings since many of the things I liked where what others seem to hate. Ali MacGraw's performance- I thought she did very well as the smart mouth college girl from the lower classes. I liked how she tossed of...
