While it wasn't as much of a character study as say "The Killers" I do like the film. I also like caper films. I think you can guess what's going to happen at the Airport the minute you see the women and her pampered Dog. Starts off great but seems to run out of steam at the climax, with t...

I usually take a nap on Friday's afterwork, So I can stay up and watch them @2am. On The EAST coast. I think they are important (Off- Beat) cinema. They should be seen, especially for Movie-Lovers in General. I know TCM means Classics but these Films are Wild and Fun. And now, I'd be lost without so...

Anne, I feel your pain. I sat through " The Break-Up " also on Saturday. One word review: Dreck! Vince Vaughn was also in the 1998 Re-make of Psycho which I had High hopes for because it was Re-Directed by Gus Van Sant who directed some of really good resent films. Drugstore Cowboy, My Own...

I saw this film once and loved it. I don't get Fox Movie Channel anymore. But I also wish for the DVD. Bow really impressed me in this. She's a wonderful actress. Also a great Cat-fight with Thelma Todd. Hopefully Fox gets on the ball and releases this film. I'm suprised that Clara Bow never made mo...

I think " Valley Girl " is what started my craze. Had a crush on Elizabeth Daily (Pee Wee's Big Adventure)and Deborah Foreman who was also in a couple of others Real Genius and the really bad My Chauffeur and then she kind of disappeared. I can watch 80's *flicks (*80's term?) when they're...

Another film that I remember scared me as a kid was,Maschera del demonio, La (or Black Sunday ) 1960. Directed by Mario Bava. I would kneel behind the seats in the theater to be safe from those eyes of Barbara Steele , she really had a spooky look. A vengeful witch and her fiendish servant return fr...

Not much of a Brando Fan (shoot-me) but maybe I'll find something I like about him after my viewing this Documentary. Thank you Mongo, for the heads up. Hopefully, I'll walk away with a better respect for him and his films. I do like his standards, "Street Car", "On the Water Front&qu...
