The Player (1992)
If there’s one director whose name I always hear it’s Robert Altman. Love him or hate him people talk about him and his movies have taken on a cult status … Continue Reading The Player (1992)
The Last Days of Disco (1998)
A few of my fellow bloggers reviewed director Whit Stillman‘s Damsels in Distress awhile back, a film I’m still hoping to see in the future. Until that happens I figured it’d make sense … Continue Reading The Last Days of Disco (1998)
My Top 5 Favorite Billy Wilder Movies
I know Billy Wilder’s birthday was yesterday but I doubt being a day late to the party will discredit my love of Wilder by much. Billy Wilder is probably one … Continue Reading My Top 5 Favorite Billy Wilder Movies
Beach Blanket Bingo (1965)
I mentioned during my Gidget review that I was set to watch Beach Blanket Bingo in an effort to compare the two seminal “beach” movies. If you haven’t read my … Continue Reading Beach Blanket Bingo (1965)
Desk Set (1957)
I’m slowly working my way through the films Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn made together. It’s going slowly because I’m finding the movies in various places because I lack the … Continue Reading Desk Set (1957)
The Moon is Blue (1953)
I mentioned reviewing The Moon is Blue when I did my first ever blogathon (The Gone Too Soon Blogathon) and discussed star Maggie McNamara. It was recently on TCM (and … Continue Reading The Moon is Blue (1953)
Stage Door (1937)
I taped Stage Door on a whim with little knowledge of what it was about short of starring Ginger Rogers and Katherine Hepburn. In just a short time I’ve grown … Continue Reading Stage Door (1937)
Mid-Day Poll Update (With Pictures)
I like the two post format we’ve got going on here so I figured I’d devote a second post to the poll that’s on-going. It continues to be a close … Continue Reading Mid-Day Poll Update (With Pictures)
New Running Feature: Kristen’s Netflix Top 10
Much like the TCM Top Twelve (which I still need to create a banner for) I’m creating a new running feature. I have a pretty hefty Netflix queue (at one … Continue Reading New Running Feature: Kristen’s Netflix Top 10
Little Shop of Horrors (1960)
Cult classics are hard to review, especially if you expected one thing and totally got another. I have vague recollections of seeing the 1986 musical version of Little Shop of … Continue Reading Little Shop of Horrors (1960)
The Journeys in Classic Film Guilty Pleasures
No classic movie today but I wanted to post something anyway and figured, what better thing to write about than my love of making a complete ass out of myself! … Continue Reading The Journeys in Classic Film Guilty Pleasures
Father’s Little Dividend (1951)
I’m not sure which review I mentioned it in, but I haven’t discovered a film by Vincente Minnielli that I’ve liked…until today. Father’s Little Dividend is the sequel to the … Continue Reading Father’s Little Dividend (1951)
The Ex-Mrs. Bradford (1936)
A movie review, are you shocked? No…didn’t think so. Today’s film seems to be entrenched in the mode of “The Thin Man was a great success, what else do we … Continue Reading The Ex-Mrs. Bradford (1936)
The TCM Top Twelve in May
Here’s that new segment I was talking about (having gone under some heavy revisions in 24 hours. I’m working on a banner for this and I’m open to suggestion. I … Continue Reading The TCM Top Twelve in May
Carnage (2011)
Carnage is an interesting movie as I’ve met people not too far removed from the characters of this film. The idea that we all have numerous faces and we’re conditioned … Continue Reading Carnage (2011)
After Hours (1985)
Apologies for the last post (it’s only late to those in Europe but I’ll apologize anyway). Today’s movie is one of director Martin Scorsese’s….less than successful films. Oh it had … Continue Reading After Hours (1985)
