Collector’s Corner: Collecting Stanwyck

Back in November, I introducted a subcategory of Collector’s Corner called Star Collections. In this series I share all of the films, books, and magazines I own featuring a particular classic film star. The series started with Cary Grant, so it’s only appropriate that the second installment feature my favorite actress: Barbara Stanwyck! Stanwyck Books & Mags As I browsed my shelves, this surprised me … Continue reading Collector’s Corner: Collecting Stanwyck

Today I’ll be looking at the old buzzwords and adding some to the list! The “buzzwords” list in 2012 included: Cary Grant 1940s musical Pre-code Sisters Period piece Suspense “Based … Continue reading “Buzzwords” Revisited

Reviews in a line or two: “Huge Collection of Films I Never Posted About in 2012” edition, part 2

The Beverly Hillbillies (1993) Dir: Penelope Spheeris Starring: Diedrich Bader, Erika Eleniak, Jim Varney, Cloris Leachman, etc. This is everything you’d expect upon hearing the phrase “’90s remake of The Beverly Hillbillies.” It’s more than a little bit ridiculous and full of corn, but does have a few very funny moments. Bonus points for the cameos by Dolly Parton and Buddy Ebsen. The score: 2.5/5 … Continue reading Reviews in a line or two: “Huge Collection of Films I Never Posted About in 2012” edition, part 2

FIFTEEN endlessly re-watchable classics, Part III of III

As much as I love discovering new films, there are many films that I consistently return to. They’re the warm, snuggle-y blanket hiding within the abyss of my many hours of move-watching each month. The following are the final five of my fifteen of my favorites classics to re-watch. (This is not a definitive list of the most re-watchable classic films ever.) 11. Stella Dallas … Continue reading FIFTEEN endlessly re-watchable classics, Part III of III

Reviews in a line or two: “Huge Collection of Films I Never Posted About in 2012” edition, part 1

When a Man Loves a Woman (1994) Dir: Luis Mandoki Starring: Meg Ryan and Andy Garcia This was a blind purchase from Goodwill. (You know I love that $2 DVD section!) It’s Meg Ryan in the ’90s, and since I didn’t know anything about the film I expected it to be a romantic comedy. Instead I got a movie about alcoholism and a film that … Continue reading Reviews in a line or two: “Huge Collection of Films I Never Posted About in 2012” edition, part 1

Reviews in a line or two: 2012 releases (Flight, Lincoln, Les Mis and Jack Reacher)

Prepare for blasphemy. I’m about to give one the most beloved/critically acclaimed/award-buzzed films of the year a lower score than a Tom Cruise movie, in this installment of Reviews in a Line or Two Ten. Flight (2012) Dir: Robert Zemeckis Starring: Denzel Washington I tagged along to the theater with my dad to see this and knew next to nothing about it going in, except … Continue reading Reviews in a line or two: 2012 releases (Flight, Lincoln, Les Mis and Jack Reacher)
