Yes, Karen Black is terrifying at the end of Burnt Offerings. The whole end of that film is truly messed up.

"I've been waiting for you, Ben."

TERMS OF ENDEARMENT is listed as one of the movies that The Criterion Channel is streaming as part of its "Starring Shirley MacLaine" collection, but the movie is not there. https://i.imgur.com/0EnlzwVl.png It will be added June 1st. I don't think Criterion can add it until then because i...

Mandy Patinkin is hot as Avigdor in YENTL. BUT, evidently NOT hot enough for Babs' tastes, anyway. I say this because when she was recently interviewed by Stephen Colbert about her newly published autobiography (when they taped it at her Malibu mansion and shown later on his program), she mentioned...

Jacqueline Stewart is both easy on the eyes and ears.

I also enjoy listening to Jacqueline Stewart

She's a professor in the Cinema and Media Studies department at the University of Chicago.
She's supposed to resume teaching in Winter Quarter 2024,

EVER SINCE they shuttered YE OLDE MESSAGEBOARDS I have had the hardest time watching what used to be one of my favorite genres of film- PRECODES, because I missed our discussions of them (and also I'm STILL mad at TCM.) that aside, I checked out THE MIND READER (1933) - a curious little precode wit...

DJT, Lonesome Rhodes with a degree from Wharton.

Yes, a less articulate Lonesome Rhodes with the physical presence of Jabba The Hut.

I admit that she scares me more at the end of BURNT OFFERINGS.
"I've been waiting for you. Ben . . ."

Mandy Patinkin is hot as Avigdor in YENTL.
But he looks so much like one of my uncles that there's no fun in that for me!

I have to confess that I've never truly understood VERTIGO, much less why it's been on Top Ten lists as one of the greatest American movies. I have less of a problem with Scottie than I do with dumb needy masochistic Judy, putty in the hands of controlling men to be sure. Everyone in this story is ...

Oy vey.

Not the best choice.....

Karen Black scares me in this one!

To re-cap: SPOLIER: After the remains of the victims are discovered, the killer learns that a valuable item was in the killer's possession during the entire killing spree. First hint: All the victims' remains are discovered the same day. The valuable item has monetary value. Second hint: The two lea...

I also like TEA WITH MUSSOLINI although I only saw it once. I actually saw this movie in the theater in 1999 with my mother and grandmother. They both loved it. I'm looking forward to watching it again to see what the adult me will think about it. I remember thinking how wonderful Cher was in her ro...

I was glad that Eddie pointed out the homosexual implications of the Elisha Cook, Jr./Lawrence Tierney relationship. Their little apartment has one bed. Elisha is reading on his side of the bed when Tierney enters the room after committing two murders and then goes to sit down on his side of the be...

No AMERICAN PIE ? No CRUEL INTENTIONS ? No SHE'S ALL THAT ??? Those are the movies that define 1999 cinematically, for me anyway. As a teenager in the 90s I used to watch She's All That and Cruel Intentions all the time. 10 Things I Hate about You was another great teen movie from 1999. I never rea...
