Between Midnight and Dawn (1950) With Edmond O’Brien, Gale Storm, and Mark Stevens Although labelled as noir, it borrows only the look. The movie has a straight-ahead cops vs. gang plot. Good movie. Edmond O’Brien shines as he usually does in crime movies. This time as a partner, role model and fri...

Oh yes, I do remember Mystic Pizza (1988) very clearly, as I saw it quite a few times. The script was written by four different people: Amy Holden Jones (who wrote a provocative but very underrated film called Love Letters in 1983 that is easily Jamie Lee Curtis' finest hour), a pair of sisters who...

Came across a new (to me) actress a while back. Not only a looker, but her acting ability was significantly better than average. Intrigued, I then checked her filmography. Then went grocery shopping. Saw a frozen product there that had the same name as one of the actress's movies. That is how it go...

Earlier this year watched two excellent movies, Fail Safe (1964) and On the Beach (1959). So yesterday decided to go for the trifecta with a movie that uses the same general subject matter as the others for its plot. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) Quick b...

Angel Heart (1987) Saw on original release. Recalled liking the movie at that time, but no longer remembered why. Thus, decided to watch it again. This is a crime/horror picture. Gory for its day, today less so. But one would still need a strong stomach to enjoy the otherwise well written story. Ori...

Have had a good run watching French movies lately. Best so far was: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) Catherine Deneuve and Nino Castelnuovo play the leads involved in a bittersweet romance. It is such a unique movie. I can't decide if the lush colours of the film is the best part, or if it's the lu...

THE THREE MUSKETEERS (1973) on TCM this afternoon. one of RICHARD LESTER 's best. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ec/The_Three_Musketeers_1973_live-action_film_poster.jpg Huge favourite of mine. It has always seemed to me that the cast was having a real blast performing in it.

The Safecracker(1958) is one worth watching. Is it a great film? Nope. A pretty good one. Yep. The structure of the movie is a bit different. It's basically two very different and separate stories linked by a single character. The first story is about a safecracker(surprise surprise). It's a pretty ...

Good Omens 2 (2023) David Tennant is a joy to watch and he brings his character to life magnificently! Good Omens (2019): 8.6/11 Good Omens 2 (2023): 6.4/12 Regarding David Tennant. He is a favorite. I have seen him do many excellent performances. But in my experience, he rises (or falls) spectacul...

Once in awhile I just HAVE to indulge in a 1930's Joan Blondell fix. Just finished watching a picture I have not seen or heard of before. Even if it turned out to be awful, it was still gonna be Joan. Glad you liked it! Blondell is a fave in this household too, she could do it all. I believe I reca...

Once in awhile I just HAVE to indulge in a 1930's Joan Blondell fix. Just finished watching a picture I have not seen or heard of before. Even if it turned out to be awful, it was still gonna be Joan. Got very lucky. DAMES(1934). Musical comedy, though at first it seemed about 95% comedy. Very funny...

Cronos (1992) Horror movie. My third attempt to watch. Two previous attempts had out of sync soundtracks. Third time was the charm. Guillermo del Toro's first directing attempt, and excellent work. A fight over possession of a beautiful object leads to a life changing event, but not in a good way. A...

The very first movie line that made me whisper "oh sh.."

"You're like a leaf that the wind blows from one gutter to another.”

OUT OF THE PAST from 1947.

About the Robyn video: I had no exposure to Robyn's music till about a year ago, but I remember liking her voice when she sang a song titled "Honey" I think. Of all places, I found it by way of a blind link posted on a soccer journalism site based in the U.K. They do this linking thing eve...
