Would account for John-John for JFK Jr.

She said that Stuart Townsend was a better fit visually based on Anne Rice's description of Lestat, but (according to my friend at least) the two actors that most closely matched the description of Lestat from the books were Michael York and Leonardo DiCaprio (when both of hem were young). Consider...

Well, I watched Queen of the Damned (2002) on Tubi. For starters, I didn't realize beforehand that this movie was attempting to cover both The Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned . It is hard enough for a movie to do justice to one novel. But two? Please! These filmmakers were just setting th...

The Caine Mutiny (1954)

Next: Another with Humphrey Bogart at sea.

For what it's worth, the following is a listing of AFI's 180 nominated musicals:

It can all come out in the open now. I have been infatuated with Dudley Manlove as the alien Eros in PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE for decades. Seeing this Ed Wood classic again, my emotions are still the same. Dudley's famous radio voice sends tingles down my spine with every stupid line of dialogue. &q...

Oh, and I meant to add that because of your recommendation, Liam Casey, I plan on giving the Interview show a shot, after all. I feel like I should apologize in advance in case you still don't like it. :) Your concerns are valid. And, based upon what I've read online, the changes to the source mate...

King Solomon's Mines (1950)

Next: Another safari movie

Well, it only took 19 months, but I finally finished the first season of AMC's Interview with the Vampire . And, although that season only takes one about halfway through Anne Rice's original novel, I find it better than both its source novel and its 1994 cinematic predecessor. In my opinion, using ...

For some reason, my first thought when I saw this actress's face was "Agnes Moorehead?".

I'm always reminded of the original (1994) miniseries adaptation of The Stand when I hear this song.

Right. Four "accidental" gunshots . . . Apparently that's just how you ask someone if the loo is occupied in South Africa. It's a (slightly) different culture than here in the US (barring Texas.) Wasn't there some woman in Texas (I think she was an off-duty police officer) who shot and ki...

The Da Vinci Code (2006)

Next: A bad mother…

How about an Old West variation on suicide by cop? The Shootist (1976) where cancer-stricken J. B. Books (John Wayne) arranges one last gunfight with no expectation of surviving.
