(but I wanted to see it before it left Watch TCM) Anyway . . . as usual I was impressed at how fantastic the acting is in this one and am amazed that none of the actors received Os...

I'm listening to my newest Angelique Kidjo CD-

I love Angelique Kidjo's collaborations with Ezra Koenig!

I'm a fan of Alfred Hitchcock and I actually like Vertigo . . . and not because I'm supposed to like it, I really do enjoy the movie. However, one of the movie's flaws (for me at least) is that there is no spark between James Stewart and Kim Novak. So I think a remake can work if there is an actor i...

The production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! that is nominated for several Olivier Awards is a transfer of the Tony Award winning Broadway revival directed by Daniel Fish that played at Circle in the Square Theatre.

In his recent video, he discusses his predictions for the upcoming Olivier Awards as well as saying who he thinks should win. I've heard grea...

Early in the pandemic, I read (actually listened to) The Last Lion , William Manchester's monumental three-volume biography of Winston Churchill. Although I knew something of the great man, and had even visited his house at Chartwell, Manchester's books gave me a deeper understanding of his long li...

I saw that one through ...twice. I thought it was very powerful and extremely well acted, but then again I liked a lot of Woody Allen's films, although the last section of his directorial period has been hit and miss.

I just started reading Veronica Lake's memoir, the aptly titled, "Veronica: The Autobiography of Veronica Lake." I'm only at the beginning of it, but she seems very matter of fact and not at all enamored of Hollywood. She treated it like a job, in the same way that she treated her (later ...
