A short break!
Hello, movie buffs! You may or may not have noticed that I missed yesterday’s post. I meant to have a post like this up yesterday.

I’ve been particularly busy for the past couple of… Read More A short break!
Happy Halloweek!
In the past, to celebrate Halloween on the blog, I’ve done something called Horror Half-Week. Certain spooky themes were chosen each year, and I’d put up four reviews to match those themes — one a day, on the four days leading up to Halloween. This year, I’m doing things a bit differently. Horror Half-Week becomes… Read More Happy Halloweek!
Celebrating “50 Years of Hitchcock” with TCM
I consider Alfred Hitchcock to be one of my favorite directors. He directed several of my all-time favorite films, including my ultimate “comfort film” pick-me-up, To Catch a Thief. I’ve seen Hitchcock silent and with sound, black and white and in technicolor. I’ve written about him on the blog many times: Celebrating To Catch a… Read More Celebrating “50 Years of Hitchcock” with TCM

Prince Rogers Nelson, 1958 – 2016
TMP takes a moment of silence today in remembrance of Prince, a truly gifted artist (and the star of one of my favorite ’80s flicks, Purple Rain). May he rest in peace.

TMP celebrates four years!
Today marks four years since I began my blog. It is also Cary Grant’s birthday (not a coincidence — he was my favorite actor long before the blog began). And so begins my fifth year of sharing the classic film love! It’s hard to believe I’ve been at this four years already… almost 1,500 days!… Read More TMP celebrates four years!
