Ah yes, we're both Ohioans, so we're both facing the same extreme winter storm that arrives tonight.

I read the leaked draft script. I ask (nicely) that one would avoid spoilers for a movie that hasn't come out yet. I'm generally not an anti-spoiler absolutist, but for movies that haven't come out to the general public yet, it's just common courtesy. I recall someone watching a pirated copy of a b...

Did I miss LESLIE JORDAN or was he omitted? and no SALLY KELLERMAN !! Oscar nominee.... BIG MISS Jordan wasn't included although he did have supporting roles in a handful of films (including one, The Help, that was a Best Picture nominee in 2011). Admittedly, other than The help, I first thought of...

She will be featured in "TCM Forgets 2022." LOL! Poor Sally! Not sure Joan would've launched her as it crashed Seberg's career for awhile. If Kellerman had gotten Saint Joan, she would likely have done Bonjour Tristisse as well, since Preminger reused Seberg in that. Never saw Saint Joan,...

Stephanie Zacharek is not happy with Babylon : https://time.com/6241717/babylon-review/ Well I like the subject anyway but I was not expecting a sort of comedy is it ? The critics do not influence me too much,for me it is a must - see film. I read the leaked draft script. If there are films its clo...

Stephanie Zacharek is not happy with Babylon : https://time.com/6241717/babylon-review/ I'll copy the article here since it's behind a partial paywall..... In a moment of heedless generosity, you could almost commend Damien Chazelle for caring enough about the last days of the silent film era to ma...

I wonder if the new version of One Day at a Time is produced under the same parent company that owns TCM. No, just looked, it was done by Sony/Columbia. Have a hunch that this SOTM is meant to be a tie-in to her new film, given it opens in February. Prediction, she will be joining Ben on the set. L...

If TCM wishes to honor a Latino woman why not Katy Jurado. Jurado was in many more high qualify films than Moreno and had a lot more interesting roles; Bullfighter and the Lady, High Noon, Arrowhead, Broken Lance, The Racers, Trial, Trapeze, The Badlanders, One Eyed Jacks, Barabbas, Once Upon A Sca...

It was a really small wordless part, but she was in Singin in the Rain for a few moments. And her striptease scene in Marlowe is certainly an eye-opener.

A Dandy in Aspic and That Lady in Ermine are both last movies of directors, in this case Anthony Mann and Ernst Lubitsch, who died while making the film and it had to be completed by others (respectively by Dandy star Laurence Harvey and Otto Preminger). Neither film is successful. In the first fil...

I thought Elvis was very good.... Everything Everywhere.... Not so Much. I thought the central performance by Butler was good in Elvis , but I wasn't crazy about the movie. I haven't really cared for any of Baz Luhrmann's films. They're just...too much. However, I will give the caveat that I liked ...

Put over by a strong cast and strong visuals. I liked it considerably more than I thought I would.

One of the best of all the Christmas films, with perfect work from Edward Gwenn and Natalie Wood. Nifty little film debut for Thelma Ritter as well.
