Body Heat is a great movie, but it was written and directed by Lawrence Kasdan (his directorial debut).

I suppose a sequel to The Artist was inevitable. Just didn't expect it so soon.

What a great article! And that picture, phew. I really wish I could be there to see these Pre-Codes with an audience on the big screen. At least I do have a copy of all but one of the films, so I plan on attending the Pre-Code Hollywood Fest by watching them right along with you. (Time zones taken i...

Let me be clear: I personally don't care for either movie. There are a lot of reasons, I could give for this, but I guess the number one aspect is lack of character depth and a killer who takes on indestructible abilities, which further isolates any humanity from the story. For me, Halloween , in t...

With Mr. Arkadin's guidance, I've been happily wallowing in the world of giallo, seeing a number of the films from both his classics and further viewing lists. Of the films I've seen from those lists, I'd also highly recommend them, but recognize that the genre, or at least elements of the genre (i....

If I remember right, the project (LOVE) started with George before he passed away, after he had seen a Cirque de Soleil performance. Another project that's worthy of mention is the Beatles Rock Band video game. George's son Dhani was behind that. [He's the spitting image of his dad, and a very toge...

This afternoon, I watched "Backbeat" (1994), directed by Iain Softley. This is a story about the Beatles in Hamburg and the relationship between Stu Sutcliffe and Astrid Kirchherr. The movie took me by surprise. At first I thought it was only okay, but then Astrid (Sheryl Lee) showed up, ...

Firstly a film I saw when I was a kid which impressed me greatly back in the '70s: "Sssssss" (1973) Ssssss was the first movie my brother and I saw without our parents. We said we were going to see some Disney flick, but I convinced my brother that we had to see Sssss instead. My mother c...

While you're at it give us your "Red" and "Blue" albums. This is carried over from the MUSICAL INFLUENCES thread. I've been thinking about this, and at least right now,if I were programing the RED Album, I would drop Love Me Do (as historic as it is), We Can Work It Out, Michele...
