I too, discovered Norma Shearer through the LaSalle book. I think my favorite of her pre codes is A Free Soul . She's so sexy and confident and not running from a bad relationship or trying to balance the books like in Strangers May Kiss or The Divorcee . The look on her face the first time she sees...

Marilyn was really very good--she has great comic timing and her delivery was always right on (at least once they got it down on film). I wonder what she would have been able to do if she'd actually seen a competent therapist instead of just popping pills to deal with her issues. I imagine she'd cer...

Right off the top of my head, I don't know which movies I'd like to see a sequel to, but I can name at least one I was appalled to see a sequel to, probably because the sequel was so bad: Gone With the Wind . I will admit to never having seen the movie--the book was enough. I do apologize if there a...

The Steve Martin-Lily Tomlin comedy All of Me , uses a similar theme. A rich, dying woman (Tomlin) convinces the daughter of her stableman, who is young, beautiful and healthy (the daughter, not the stableman) to allow Tomlin's soul to enter her body when Tomlin dies. (The daughter's soul was suppos...

Just saw this for the first time on the big screen (which was a thrill all by itself) and it was fantastic. And very, very funny. It's probably one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. How did they get away with all the innuendo? Especially Jane Russell's number in the gym? And was I ima...

My husband and son got me hooked on this show. I'd seen the original movie in the theatre and liked it, but I think it works better as a series. Anyway, I got into the Goa'uld plotlines and the Replicators, but they sort of lost me with the Ori. It seemed like a long, multi-part slam of organized re...

The film also stars Jada Pinkett-Smith (the black one), Annette Benning in the Rosalind Russell role, Debra Messing (the knocked-up one), Eva Mendes in the Crawford role and Bette Midler as the Countess. Carrie Fisher is mixed up in there too and so are Cloris Leachman (in the Marjorie Main role--do...

Chris, my son is a Beatles fan, but my daughter's taste runs more to Avril Levigne and Good Charlotte. We did compromise--we decided that the parts were not as great as the whole and so if a solo ex-Beatle comes on, she can change it. Except for Live and Let Die and Imagine.

Anne and Synnove-- The following up the stairs feeling was a little creepy, especially at night, but nothing was ever truly frightening. I loved that house (lots of gorgeous woodwork and cherry floors) and was sorry to leave it. The only time I ever felt truly frightened was one summer when this &qu...

And movieman--
Thanks for the referral. I'm not a huge Keaton fan--I've only seen The General. I'll have to look for the other one.

Some more Arthur films coming up are - Sept. 5, 8:15am EDT - "If You Could Only Cook." Sept. 5, 9:30am EDT - "Adventure in Manhattan." Sept. 5, 10:45am EDT - "More Than A Secretary." And her birthday is not until October. Oh good. I'll have to set the DVR. I haven't se...

I liked this film too ( Suddenly Last Summer ), though I always feel like I need to watch something with puppies and kittens afterward. I agree that Elizabeth Taylor isn't all that amazing in this, but then I've never been too impressed by her. Maybe if I'd seen Butterfield Eight or Who's Afraid of ...

Nothing to do with the Monkees (as much as I love them-I actually have one of their albums...and play it)

To the bad movie list, I have to add Skidoo. I realize that drugs and the counterculture was becoming big business, but sheesh.
Two Faced Woman (except for Constance Bennet)

So what do you all think--will it be good? Or a not-so-shining example of What's Wrong With Hollywood Today?

Gotta love the theme music, though.[/i]

I've always been partial to Gilligan's Island and Spiderman. "Spiderman, spiderman, does whatever a spider can..." The Wonder Years with Joe Cocker's cover of A Little Help From My Friends Theme music from Stargate: SG1 (My husband always FF thru it and I love it) Night Court theme Movin o...
