The passing a few days ago of actress Jill Clayburgh really strikes a blow into the hearts of women of a certain age, for whom Ms. Clayburgh was almost an avatar, living out different lives that we weren’t, but might have, in different circumstances. Lovely to look at but not a devastating beauty, with Jill it was [...] READ MOREThere’s nothing like a monster movie from your childhood to keep hold of your imagination LONG after you’ve grown up — waaay up! Though it isn’t a horror movie per se – not a mummy or a ghost in sight — Universal’s 1956 feature The Mole People has some creepy scaly reptilian underground monsters that give the Morlocks [...] READ MOREI hope you’ve all gained as much respect and admiration for actor Woody Strode as I have after reading all the great posts this week, and after watching Strode in action. Jeff referred to himself as the “loose caboose” in our Woody Strode blogathon, but I may be an even looser one. Because I’m a [...] READ MOREShe was born a century ago, on July 4, 1910, and what a thrill it is to be able to wish actress Gloria Stuart a Happy 100th Birthday! What a milestone for Ms. Stuart, and how lucky we are to have her with us. We all remember her sort-of Cinderella “Only in Hollywood” story — how, [...] READ MOREIn life you’ve just gotta take what it gives you. Some people want to be doctors, some want to be actors. Some of those people who want to be actors might not be just like everybody else. Some are taller, some plumper, some more handsome and pretty — we usually only see that kind — and [...] READ MOREIf there’s a more deserving fellow to wish a very Happy Birthday to today, I can’t think of him. Actor/director/producer/author Bruce Campbell, born 52 years ago today, is a real pro, a Hollywood survivor and one of the most delightful onscreen personalities around today. I just finished watching his 2008 feature (as director and star) My Name [...] READ MOREI was gratified to see the 1950 Warner Bros. title The Hasty Heart scheduled tonight at 8pm on TCM as one of Bob Osborne’s personal favorites. I’m not sure why Bob is so crazy about it, but I’ll bet we share some of the same respect and affection for the movie. Based on a Broadway play [...] READ MOREDo you ever despair of seeing anything charming and spontaneous on the web anymore? Do you sometimes wonder, after seeing some so-so movie at the theater, what it was about the movies that you loved in the first place? Do you ever wonder if anybody else loves movies like you do? If you answered “Yes!” to [...] READ MOREI see that 1967′s Bonnie and Clyde is tomorrow night’s selection for TCM’s “The Essentials” movie slot, and I couldn’t agree more. B&C is one of those select few movies about which I can honestly say it changed my life and the way I think about everything. I have such clear memories of watching this movie in [...] READ MOREI’ve been taking a break from this entertaining site for a while, but I didn’t want to completely disappear during Academy Award time. As the Morlocks have each explored their varied and fascinating takes on the season over the past few weeks, I tried to rustle up some photos on the theme. You know how [...] READ MORE |
