I admit that she scares me more at the end of BURNT OFFERINGS.

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

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!

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

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 ...

Re: May Criterion Channel line-up

I also like TEA WITH MUSSOLINI although I only saw it once. I actually saw this movie in the theater in 1999 with my mother and grandmother. They both loved it. I'm looking forward to watching it again to see what the adult me will think about it. I remember thinking how wonderful Cher was in her ro...

Re: Noir Alley

I was glad that Eddie pointed out the homosexual implications of the Elisha Cook, Jr./Lawrence Tierney relationship. Their little apartment has one bed. Elisha is reading on his side of the bed when Tierney enters the room after committing two murders and then goes to sit down on his side of the be...

Re: May Criterion Channel line-up

No AMERICAN PIE ? No CRUEL INTENTIONS ? No SHE'S ALL THAT ??? Those are the movies that define 1999 cinematically, for me anyway. As a teenager in the 90s I used to watch She's All That and Cruel Intentions all the time. 10 Things I Hate about You was another great teen movie from 1999. I never rea...

Re: I Just Watched...

John Garfield was sensationally understated, he was there to be Harry Morgan and without any frills or excessive show. Garfield, despite his already successful career, was just getting started. Woe to the world that he should pass so untimely early. I think he was Tennessee Williams's original choi...

Re: May Criterion Channel line-up

The movie choices that Criterion made for their 1999 collection are odd to say the least. I do like their description of the year as the "premillennial, pre-smartphone, dial-up moment just before the world as we knew it seemed to change forever," but . . . No AMERICAN PIE ? No CRUEL INTEN...

Re: May Criterion Channel line-up

Nicolas Roeg’s DON’T LOOK NOW is streaming in May as part of a "Set in Venice" collection!

The sweetie and I have wanted to see this one for a long time.
It features one of my all-time favorites Julie Christie.

I'm very excited to see this one for the first time.

Re: I Just Watched...

Let's see. I was too young to have seen it at the time, but I felt that way when I caught up with American Beauty. I am totally with you on AMERICAN BEAUTY. I didn't see it when it was in theaters, but when I did see it, I was like YUCK! I gave the movie a half star on Letterboxd. Good for you for ...
