HOT!

Hubba Hubba!

I'm happy to see that the typical horror movies are featured as part of a spotlight and not the entire month. As someone who is very specific about the types of horror they enjoy, I appreciate that the entire schedule isn't saturated in these types of films. They should follow a similar schedule for...

I just discovered Alan Ladd within the last year or so. I'd seen his films with Veronica Lake, but other than those films I hadn't given him much thought. Then I started watching more of his films. I watched "Calcutta," "China," "Captain McCary Usa," "Appointment w...

Alan Ladd day was one of the SUTS days I was most excited about. Then I had to go on a last minute work trip to the Bay Area on Thursday. Thinking ahead, I brought 2 laptops and an HDMI cord, so I could use one laptop to stream Watch TCM live to the hotel TV and still have a laptop to use! This was ...

My favorites, in no particular order:

Odds Against Tomorrow
Beware, My Lovely
Caught
The Set-Up
Act of Violence
On Dangerous Ground
The Secret Fury
The Naked Spur
Crossfire
Born to Be Bad

(Veronica Lake) She is so blasé and nonchalant about the fact that she didn't have a relationship with her children, I can honestly see why none of them claimed her cremains upon her death in 1973. Now I am reading Lana Turner's autobiography. If only Lana had devoted as much time to picking a dece...

I finished Veronica Lake's book a while ago. I liked reading about her feud with Fredric March. I could see the two of them not getting along. Lol. I recently watched I Married A Witch . I enjoy the movie a lot, but I can't help but think about how Veronica Lake and Fredric March couldn't stand eac...

I saw it several years ago. Cannon and Gould are excellent, but the premise unnerved me a bit, and the near orgy ending was one of the most uncomfortable things I have ever seen. The ending was incredibly awkward. Ted and Alice weren't really into it, but went as far as to get undressed with Bob an...

I finished Veronica Lake's book a while ago. It was pretty good, but I couldn't help but come away with a somewhat unfavorable opinion of Veronica as a person. I love her movies, especially with Alan Ladd, but she doesn't seem like someone that I'd want to be friends with. She is so apathetic about ...

https://cdn.theasc.com/Rebecca-Curtain.jpg Rebecca's cinematography has a haunting, creepy quality about it. Visually the film is stunning, but also has an unsettling atmosphere, plus the character of Mrs. Danvers, makes it a very spooky film. The titular character of "Rebecca" is never s...

I was on a Dyan Cannon kick a couple of years ago, seeing all her movies previously missed. I couldn't believe B&C&T&A was in my library, I remember the scandalous buzz about it when it came out. (I was a kid) Viewing it as an adult was pleasantly surprised. I found it funny & enter...

THE SWIMMER (1968) last night on TCM. I first saw this in a mid 1970s TV broadcast... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/42/The_Swimmer_poster.jpg I just saw this again for the third or fourth time. I still get engrossed in it. I believe it's Burt Lancaster's best performance. This is a re...

" Deadline - USA " (1952) Richard Brooks, starring Humphrey Bogart. An excellent film, beautifully restored with an intelligent script from director Brooks. Thought-provoking and Bogart is very good as the editor of a newspaper enduring an existential threat (that part of the film, and it...

I decided to jettison the "Important" stuff for a while and get back to my bread & butter: goofy "trash". Namely, stuff that aired on TCM Underground that I haven't seen, or stuff from the Psychotronic Movie guides. Thus far I've watched: I like that kind of movie too & ...

Thank you! It was a good birthday. My husband got me "Harvey" on blu ray and a Lucy-Ethel set of dolls to go with the rest of my I Love Lucy Barbie collection!
