To second @Mathis1, all of the best on your upcoming wedding @ToTheRight. And while I don't really rate AVTAK, it - somehow - makes for a fitting film to take a break on. :D Again, all the best.

Today, May 6th, marks Orson Welles' birthday (May 6, 1915). A legend whose work I've grown to appreciate more and more over the years. And a fitting clip from TOUCH OF EVIL 1958.

I had Baron Samedi ranked number 15. I really memorable character more than a henchman perhaps, but Geoffrey Holder still added at lot of exciting presence to the role. Of course, later on I knew him mostly for …… :))

Comedian Ruth Buzzi has died. She was 88. For those that are too young, it is hard to rely just how popular Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In was in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and Ms. Buzzi's spinster Gladys Ormphby was a big part of that. http…

Maybe "Marie" was one of Blofeld's "angels of death" from OHMSS. You know, the one that left before Bond got to Piz Gloria. :)) And being loyal - she continued to check for his signals every night. Although, heartbroken that Blofeld hadn't contac…

Thanks for that post @RichardTheBruce ! =)) .. it is a bit hard to believe that Bond is the only agent that Blofeld has experience with. But I guess within the "universe" of these films it works.

A nice overview of COOKIE @mattjoes. Emily Lloyd was a rising star at the time (late 1980s) due to her breakout role in WISHING YOU WERE HERE (1987) - which was a nice film BTW. However, while she continued to get positive reviews for her work in…

ICYM: The 4K restoration of THUNDERBALL was shown at the just concluded TCM Classic Film festival. The "czar of noir" Eddie Muller introduced the movie and interviewed (quite appropriately given his specialty) that film's femme fatale, Luciana Palu…

Excellent point about how Japan's history is often reflected in these films @Gerard. GODZILLA: MINUS ONE, for example, was criticized by some in Japan on that very issue from what I've read. Since I've never seen the three anime movies (or the Si…

A great release coming from Criterion in July @FoxRox. While I have the old Criterion DVD version of BARRY LYNDON I may upgrade (if there is a corresponding blu-ray release). In any case, Criterion is also releasing one of my favorite film noirs:…

Hopefully these three (3) intros/outros from TCM on Tuesday will be a little "extra" cherry on top of your Birthday cake @ToTheRight. THE KILLING (Marie Windsor and Coleen Gray) TENSION (Audrey Totter) JOHNNY O'CLOCK (Evelyn Keyes)

On Tuesday evening TCM devoted their programming to several of the actresses featured in the Muller's book. It was fun to do the watch along on social media (blue sky) as everyone watched Maire Windsor (The Killing), Audrey Totter (Tension) and Evel…

First, Happy Birthday @ToTheRight =D> . I'll go out on a limb and say that you will ready love the DARK CITY DAMES book. The profiles of the six actresses profiled are divided into two parts * “Hollywood Mid-Century” * “Hollywood Fin de …

So sad to hear of Bruce Glover's passing. I was just thinking of him earlier this week, when I was listing the various connections between the James Bond films and 1968's THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR. Glover has a small (uncredited) role as a bank man…

An excellent write-up @MaxCasino. As you state, not only is ON THE WATERFRONT a great film but it is also an important one. While the “I coulda been a contender” scene in the taxicab between Terry (Marlon Brando) and his brother Charley (Rod Stei…

I absolutely love McCABE & Mrs. MILLER @FoxRox. The Leonard Cohen songs and the special treatment given the film negative by Robert Altman and his DP Vilmos Zsigmond give it a unique sound and look (IMO). Plus, Julie Christie. :x Enjoy. …
