A reporter's view . . .
I have to confess that seeing CITIZEN KANE was one of the main reasons I got into the newspaper business. Later on, I met many more people working in various media (not only newspapers, but radio, TV, and yes, even the Internet) who were also influenced by KANE. One reason is that the film, through ...

What about the WRITERS???
Mick, this is probably as much a suggestion as a question, but have you considered doing a book about the WRITERS of the pre-code era? (You might call it Scandalous Scribes or something like that.) This is a much-neglected field that someone needs to cover. For example, I recently read Grace Perkins...

I missed about the first 10 minutes of THE WOMEN IN HIS LIFE, but stayed around for the rest. Pretty good potboiler with a nail-biting finale. Otto Kruger is one actor I'll watch any time, any place. Such an assured actor, and such a great voice! Funny thing is, my perception of Kruger is the opposi...

Boy, there's some good match-ups this time around! However, I think the choices are going to get harder and harder with each round, but that's not going to diminish the fun factor for me. I missed a few votes the last time around because I was preparing for a vacation trip on Friday. I am now postin...

Likewise, Lynn. I'm just getting back here after months of computer and Internet access problems, and I just now read about you losing your dad. You've been good to me in the past, and it's hard for me see such a classy lady as you go through this pain. My prayers and thoughts go out to you, along w...

Good job, Jez . . .
I was going to bring this up if no one else did. I've seen him post under that username in the Yahoo silent movie group, and on a couple of other classic film boards I frequent. David Shepard is one of the true angels of film preservation and appreciation. It's an honor and privilege to have you her...

For better or worse . . .
Since work has been slow this week, I decided to spend a few nights working on my Top 25. This was a more agonizing exercise than I thought -- I had to leave off so many of my favorites! Then I decided to limit it to films I have watched repeatedly, with delight, and that feature most of my favorite...
