Kansas City Confidential..

I could watch this movie 100x and not tire of it.

The last few days I've been watching a swell bunch of movies in the set, Icons of Screwball Comedy, Vol. 2

Theodora Goes Wild (1936)
Together Again (1944)
A Night to Remember (1942)
The Doctor Takes a Wife (1940)

A great set of movies with a cartoon, 'Mad Hatter' included.

I like "Kiss Me Deadly" a lot! Great ending, too!

For interesting background on Kiss Me Deadly, go to the DVD Savant website, scroll down and read his article on this film's history regarding its two endings.

Watched Andy Hardy Meets Debutante. Judy Garland guest stars in this one, and gets to sing a couple of numbers. Hardys go to NYC to straighten out some legal hoohah affecting the Carvel orphange. It's still pretty formulaic, but in this one Mickey Rooney shows how he's grown in his acting skills. There are two "reaction" shots that Mickey gets to do showing bafflement. The key here is that he doesn't mug or overact; rather, he uses his eyes and just a turn of the head.

Great series; how they kept the principals all together for years and years is impressive.

Watched Finding Neverland again this morning.

Suddenly I'm in the mood for "Don Juan DeMarco". Maybe early in the morning, since my client has canceled due to the flu........

 

[Ethan Bentley]

The Red Shoes

 

[Mrs Bentley]

Casino

 

[WinoJunko]

Just got done watching 'Harvey' which is a really funny movie!

Gotta love Jimmy Stewart!

 

[NicolettaRose]

Bright Star--the brand new movie about John Keats--a wonderful movie for anyone who is interested.

 

[NicolettaRose]

Yves St. Laurent: His Life and Times

It clocks in at 2:43:22, which is about 1:30:22 too long. The word that comes to mind to describe both the film and his most of his couture after 1961 is "wallowing."

Sounds like a great movie...

 

[MisterCairo]

Watched Master and Commander again. Jolly good fun, but I still have to skip the amputation scene. Something about saws just doesn't sit right with me...

 

[chanteuseCarey]

just finished watching Cover Girl. Have seen it a couple of times, and Phil Silvers overdone schtick was starting to get on my nerves enough towards considering throwing the DVD into the trash, IN SPITE of the wonderful 'Alter Ego' dance done by Gene Kelly...

 

[Blackthorn]

The 13th Warrior

It's always a fun movie.

 

[WH1]

The Awful Truth
Cary Grant, Irene Dunne, and Ralph Bellamy
Far superior screwball comedy to Bringing Up Baby IMHO
Grant has some great suits in this picture wish it were in color

Andy Hardy's Private Secretary. Sister Marion doesn't even show up in this one, her absence explained away in one line about her going to NYC.

Andy is in charge of almost every committee for his HS graduation, and he gets so caught up that he flunks Senior English, taught, ironically by his Aunt Millie. An obscure, never before used loop hole is invoked and AH gets to retake the final, passing this time.

Kathryn Grayson co-stars, and sings some opera. Ian Hunter is her widowed dad, and Tod Karnes, who'll be Jimmy Stewart's kid brother in It's a Wonderful Life, is Kathryn's brother.

For a graduation gift, Judge Hardy buys Andy a new car- don't know what make it is, but it's a convertable with an automaticlly raised and lowered roof and beautiful airstream lines. Judge Hardy must have been thrifty with his judge's salary.

[chanteuseCarey]

went today to see "Bright Star" about John Keats and Fanny Brawne. Good costumes, good poetry, but otherwise just so-so.

 

[Blackthorn]

Saving Private Ryan

Wow, all over again.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Spending the weekend projecting new documentary films for a regional film festival. Last night's feature was "The Philosopher Kings," where upper-middle-class college kids discover that the school custodians actually have more to their lives than just pushing a broom. After the screening, as I was empting the trash bins, a patron came up to me and gushed "WOW! I bet you feel EMPOWERED after that film!" Sigh.
