Late last year I realized, rather belatedly, that I was paying for 2 additional Netflix streaming subscriptions and one DVD plan besides the one I was using. A quick check of my PayPal showed that I was paying for the same stuff THREE TIMES and DVD's to boot. They'd hacked my email, entered my...
Saw this film on TCM years ago. I too enjoyed it. It is a marvelous film. To your question, I believe the film was a decade too early AND the characters are so nuanced that you have to THINK while watching it. And I can tell you thinking about race in 1949 was NOT a thing audiences were...
I liked being able to walk to the movies as a kid as well. No neighborhood movies round here any more. A couple of "independent theatres" and art houses... but that's it. You can't go home again.

"Beware The Batman" - This short lived animation series was shown on the Cartoon Network around 2013. Much like "The Batman", another series made in the early 2000's, I did not watch it as "Batman the Animated Series" was still fresh in my mind and I couldn't see how they could ever compete...
"Lamb" - This Icelandic film is a bit of a conundrum.... Beautifully shot, well acted but with a story that kinda defies description and baffles the mind of most mere mortals. This film is "different" with a capital "D". Like most A24 offerings... there's load of striking visuals, bizarre...
Great performer, good innings as you say across the pond. Did a wedding once... They wanted a Tony Bennett tune. We didn't know any BUT I loved "Rags to Riches" so I sang it acapella. Great singer...

I've seen this film, shot in glorious B&W several times. Firstly as a period drama and secondly, because I've visited the Saratoga Battlefield several times. I've even seen reenactments of the battle. Gentlemen Johnny... hilarious. Douglas and Lancaster are at the height (or skin close to...
That's an interesting take. Most reviewers had said that Cage was/is the ONLY thing worth watching in this film. I found Cage's performance to be well... Cage. Not as over the top as some others but enjoyable/tolerable. If you go into a movie starring Cage it's a better'n even chance you're...
"Renfield" - Meh is about the best I can say. I was curious about seeing a film wherein Dracula's relationship with his familiar was explored and fleshed out. I got some of that but not enough. As soon as Akwafina showed up it turned into a Kung Fu/Gun fu gore fest. The action set pieces...
Thanks, I was searching high and low for an "ordinary" (no insult intended) fans perspective on this film, Too many reviewers (particularly online) are quick to savage and destroy. Declare something a failure after one weekend. I thank you for giving me your perspective.

I'm familiar with the series, I watched a couple of episodes. I was also a fan of other "alternative histories" i.e. "what if the south had won the civil war.. what if Germany had won the first world war etc..." While I thought the program was "okay" the country at the time the show was first...
Longest I ever waited was a GoodWear. That took over a year and half. I got it... I like it... But no... as B.B. King would say...
"The thrill is gone... the thrill has gone away."

Ahem... Ahem ah say.... Many of the exterior shots and some of the interior shots where done right here in good ole Troy, New York. They closed off a lot of "old downtown", put a crap load of sand and dirt on the streets and changed all of the store fronts to Victorian era shops. When they...
I do some volunteer work at Grant Cottage (where U.S. Grant Union General and former President died). Last year we had a fundraiser and Mr. Williams was the featured speaker. He was working on a one man show around Grant. He performed some readings and it gave me chills. Hard to believe that...
To me, as a larger girth fellow (though much less than I used to be) I found the HWY man, A1's and A2's suited me best as far as paunch went. Crosszip styles not so much. The main factor being that my shoulders were always wider than my waist so it worked out no matter how big I was. I used to...
Yeah... like a lot of things... it's something hard to understand unless you've been through it. But once you've survived that crucible it's something you NEVER want to experience again let alone watch someone else get rubbaged. I've been dinged pretty good in over 65 years on this dirtball so...
I view this show as another one of those properties that could NEVER be made today. While I've not seen the show in a loooooong time, I did watch a lot of re-runs of it in the 80's when many channels were starved of "original" content. I often quote the show.... sometimes urging my son to show...
