I was doing a read up on Mutiny on the Bounty which i'll be watching tonight and I came across this in the facts section of IMDB's entry of the film Irving Thalberg cast Clark Gable and Charles Laughton together in the hope that they would hate each other, making their on screen sparring more lifeli...

I was originally going to write about this on Thursday but I got caught up in other pursuits (I forget which now though) ANYWHO I watched The Star Chamber (1983) starring Michael Douglas, Hal Holbrook and Yaphet Kotto. (along with a few very familiar faces for fans of '80s and early '90s TV) The pre...

What an amazing movie!

Thanks for the tip ladies. The only thing I didn't like was Carroll Baker. Her acting was just a tad too over the top for my liking.

I'll be watching this movie as the synopsis sounds intriguing. Now that i've gotten 2 opinions verifying that yes, indeed this is a good film i'll definitely settle down and watch.

Look for my thoughts in this space tonight or tomorrow.

Well I watched a contemporary movie for the first time in ages. Here's what I wrote about it on another message board I watched Be Kind Rewind last night...Hm at first I thought it was a poorly done clone of the original Clerks. A lot of the first part of the movie tried to be humorous but I couldn'...

Gary Cooper: Can't string together multiple syllables to save his life

John Ford: A drunk, crotchety old man who is only known by younger folks today for directing another drunk blowhard in John Wayne.


Is that bashing enough?

Regarding all the cameos in Iron Man and The Hulk well there's a reason for it....They're planning an Avengers movie.

While I don't know you as well as others I, too will keep you in my thoughts. You'll always occupy a special place in this community and no, this is not good bye but rather see you later. Your prescence will surely be missed but we'll all have our memories and happy thoughts of and for you. Get well...

Well what can I say that hasn't already been mentioned? Let's do it THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY way then.... THE GOOD I can't believe that the best performance in the whole movie was by a comic who was known for being broad and a bit hammy! Milton Berle was actually quite good in this movie. His...

Bogie: "Block Heads" is paired with "Sons of The Desert" on a DVD. "Swiss Miss" I'm not so sure about. I did get it though. This is not one of their best. It's part of their operetta stage. Some nice gags. They'll be around next week. I think "A Chump At Oxford&qu...

Dear Mr. O'Brien, I'm not the biggest historian on film and such so forgive me for being way off base in my questioning. Anyways i've seen a couple or so of Kay Francis' films and I have to say most of them were quite "adult" and in some ways very controversial in their day. How did she ta...

I had a busy weekend so no movies for me. I even missed The Boys! I'm sure i'll find the two movies through other means before the month is out.

I look forward to watching The Oscar tonight though.

I have the movie on DVD (I'm thinking Chris has the same set as I do )

IIRC it isn't in widescreen. Then again I haven't watched my copy in a while.

I'm at a loss for words. I really enjoyed his work

R.I.P.

I never did understand "boning up" for studying. It has the same "other" meaning here too, and is certainly nothing new (and much easier to understand in terms of origin, don't you think?) I have a feeling "boning up" originated from boys studying with those of the opp...
