Personally most of the TCM Underground stuff doesn't interest me. Now if they morph it into a monster movie/blaxploitation block then i'd be all over it!

Well yesterday was a bit of a bust as my upper body seized up on me and I felt wretched for most of the day :( I even missed The Bitter Tea of General Yen. ARGH! Hopefully I can find it through other means. I did watch two movies though starring John Derek. The first was The Family Secret . The movi...

...and now the final movie of the day. As an aside i've got a ton of movies on the docket the next couple days so i'll be giving very scattershot thoughts for each film. If there's one that I absolutely love or hate i'll expand it to a full review. Where was I? Oh yes! Turnabout (1940) John Hubbard ...

What I really find amusing is reading the credits for any toons made these days and seeing how many differnt voice actors they require. Mel would do the whole dang thing and then come back for more, with each voice feeling fresh and perfectly appropriate to the character. Mel, you da' man. Indeed h...

Next up in my trio of movies today is Too Many Husbands (1940) Hmm I dunno, i'm a bit conflicted about this one. I'm actually surprised that the premise for this movie made it past the censors of the day. Basically Fred MacMurray is a man who was presumed dead at sea who comes back home to find his ...

I just finished watching the Hal Roach feature The Housekeeper's Daughter . It's kinda hard to talk about the movie without spoiling it but needless to say lots of apparent situations to some characters aren't what they seem which gives the audience some huge laughs. Adolph Menjou as the hard drinki...

Wow nice stuff there. I've heard about Mandrake the Magician. It's a shame TCM doesn't air serials. It'd be a hoot to see some of these stuff. TCM should really dedicate a Saturday or Sunday to this kind of stuff.

Yesterday was the ultimate lazy day for me in which I slept through most of the day but I did watch one movie. Blood Money (1933) I dunno what it is with early 20th Century Fox movies but they never seem to capture my full attention. That being said this was actually a pretty good film. It's the epi...

BLAAAAHHH Most of that schedule sucks IMO however i'm eagerly awaiting the Kay Francis SOTM. She was a pretty controversial actress and reading the synopses of the movies it seemed a lot of the plots were rather rote by today's standards but they were very controversial back then. Other then that th...

I saw half of it. The documentary was done in 2001 They had John Carpenter, Molly Haskell, Paul Mazursky, some critic (sorry his name escapes me) Lee Grant and Roger Corman being interviewed about the movies of the '50s and the hidden values and social meanings behind the films. They had segments wh...

BOO! I'm still alive just haven't had the time to post here and while i've been watching movies I haven't really watched as much as i'd like. I'll be re-dedicating myself to the movies in June as the AIF theme this month has me very intrigued. Anywho the last movie I watched was Public Hero #1 (1935...

Love Story is only a minor classic because of Al Gore's lie saying that the story was based on his life at the time. BLAH... The only movie on that list that I think needs to be downgraded is GIANT which is pretty blah to me which is strange because the idea behind DALLAS (my fave show ever) was bas...

Darn...

Well thanks Mel.

I've previously reviewed #3, but I'll write up my thoughts on 1 and 2 as the entire family enjoyed them (though each film strikes each of us a little differently). Not to spoil the surprise but for me, the original Spiderman is the best superhero movie ever produced! Call me old school but I still ...

Here's an article I found on MSN. I dunno, a couple of these 10 greatest classics that need to be downgraded seem a little surprising as I didn't think of them as all that paramount in the world of moviedom but here's the article http://movies.msn.com/movies/moviesfeature/dvd/not-classic-movies?GT1=...
