I, too, think it was an accident. She still had options left. She was just too full of herself to commit suicide in my opinion. The only problem with the name Linnell is you've got to figure out how many n's and l's are going to be in it and stick to that number. Too hard to spell. Should've stuck ...

That particular scene in FRENZY gave me nightmares. When Judy opens her hotel door in VERTIGO she has no reaction. Did she already spot him out of the corner of her eye while chatting with those co-workers? I must admit I do like MARNIE even though I cannot stand Sean Connery's performance. So obno...

So each Fox star gets a couple of movies shown, is that how they are doing it? I guess that way, they can say they covered Fox stars as SOTM w/out spending too much money doing it.... That's what it looks like, based on the June 4 schedule. Unfortunately it might be a few more weeks before they rel...

Well, admittedly the same could be said for most of the other films done by Paramount that year. Paramount bankrolled King David that year, and pretty much the only bona fide financial hit Paramount had that year was Witness with Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis. Clue later became a cult favorite, ...

It came and went very quickly in 1985. It was released around Easter rhat year, got brutal reviews, then disappared. Other than the diaper scene, a few other notes could be made about it. 1) Edward Woodward was fantastic as King Saul. 2) Carl Davis turned in a wonderful musical score. 3) The film w...

Originally she thought of casting Richard Gere in the part. That would have been odd. (The scene in 1985's King David where Gere prances around the streets of Jerusalem wearing only a pair of underwear that looks like a diaper is one of those memorably bad scenes one can never forget.) I don't even...

Ladies and gentlemen, submitted for your bad movie approval -- ONE IS A LONELY NUMBER. Kindly ignore imdb comments along the lines of "this is groundbreaking in terms of feminist cinema". Well, you know what I say to that? Horse manure!! 1972, Trish Van Devere is left high and dry by Engl...

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 new published autobiography (when they taped it at her Malibu mansion and shown later on his program), she mentioned t...

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 ...

I like Dark Passage even though there are some implausibilities in the movie. Nicely done with a good cast of supporting actors--the cabby who doesn't know where to go for a good time but does know where to go for quickie plastic surgery, the rundown doctor who apparently knows his business. I woul...

I wonder how Bacall came up with that one? And what a coinky dink that she happens to be friends with Agnes who figures in Bogie's murder case.

Or --- TRILOGY OF TERROR! Actually it was Lee Grant as Alex's mother who was the real scary one. I barely recognized Jill Clayburgh as the Israeli girl. A lot of her scenes were cut. (the growing up part). Lee's? If the ones they left in were any indication I frankly can't even imagine those they c...

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! https://i.imgur.com/0WNDONhl.png https://i.imgur.com/O6F3XIel.png https://i.imgur.com/i64x0nPl.png He sure doesn't look like any of my uncles, so I guess we can make a date and ...
