Re: LISTS
The Bride and I have contemplated the same thing about "Shane." If I recall correctly he rides through a cemetery so that added to the possibility. I do think it leaves room for one to make an argument either way. There is a lot of speculation on that. He also heads back to the mountains ...

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
I have just completed a viewing of Schindler's List with my 15 yr old son. Such a wonderful tribute, and so very depressing. But worthwhile. I have only watched it twice (now), because it's just difficult. I thought it would be a valuable experience to share with him, since he's been studying WW2 a...

Re: Tribute to Kyle
Nice job. He worked really hard on those posters and put a lot of thought into everything he wrote. Glad to see it preserved for others.

Re: LISTS
Best part of Ten Commandments --a blacklisted actor gets a moment in the spotlight. This scene would not be out of context in Little Ceasar (minus the robes, of course). I also find it a bit amusing that a religious organization is using a copyrighted film and putting their logo on everything while ...

Re: The Spaghetti West
Tony Anthony was acting in Italian westerns as early as 1964, but it took seven years for him to make the film he is known for. On the other hand, Ringo Starr was one of the best known celebrities of the sixties, but this little seen Spaghetti contains his best work as an actor. Ferdinando Baldi 's ...

Re: Giallo
One of the best articles I've read on gialli film. Gary Needham does a good job giving critical analysis of a genre that has been dismissed and derided by many:

Re: Quentin Tarentino
While I admire Tarantino's passion for film, I must say that there are very few works by him that I actually would call great. He's a wonderful ambassador for genre film, but if you know those films--you realize just how little he adds to them. He pretty much just lifts ideas and scenes (as well as ...

Re: The Spaghetti West
Jonas: Where do you hail from? The Beggar: From under a rock. That's where they say we all begin...crawling out from underneath something. Part heist film, with a dash of noir on a pile of hot spaghetti, Sergio Corbucci's 1967 effort The Hellbenders is one of the best westerns you've missed out on. ...

Re: TCM April 2014 Schedule
Posted in the Eddie G thread, but I'll add it here for good measure, TCM will finally be showing Blackmail (1939) on the 8th of this month. This is nice film, which owes a lot to I am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932), but adds a bit of humor and is not as gritty as the precode. Still, it's a nice...

A cool resource for Giallo fans. This writer is not me although we share the same name. I happened upon it by accident. Tons of info and reviews.

Re: Edward G. Robinson
I watched Larceny, Inc for the first time in about 30 years. It's a fun way to spend 95 minutes. Wonderful performances and a fun premise. Robinson is wonderful about being bothered with running a luggage store while trying ot get into the bank next door. He inadvertently becomes a hero to the loca...

Re: The Spaghetti West
While anticipation is growing for the TCM premiere of Fists in the Pocket (1965), leading man Lou Castel's next film would infuse political (and other new ideas) into the Italian Western. A Bullet for the General (1966) was the first SW to deal with The Mexican Revolution and is considered the best ...
