The End of FilmStruck
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Nov 16, 2018
For the last six months my movie watching and review writing have been severely curtailed due to pressing work on other efforts, but I always comforted myself with the thought that FilmStruck would be there waiting for me after November 6 passed. Now, alas, the cruel corporate gods at AT&T have read more

The Apartment (1960, Billy Wilder)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 16, 2018
The Apartment does whatever it can to remain a dramatic comedy when it shouldn’t be anymore. And sort of isn’t. When the film shifts into real drama, there’s no going back. Director Wilder gets it too. The film has a good comedy opening, a breathtaking dramatic middle, and a decent comedy end. read more

TCM remembers Mary
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 15, 2018
As far as I know, this is the only joint image of Carole Lombard and Paramount stablemate Mary Carlisle, who died Aug. 1 at age 104. It's from 1932 at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, and shows Lombard with then-husband William Powell. (I cannot identify the man between Mary and Carole.)Carlisle read more
Halloween II (2009, Rob Zombie)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 15, 2018
The only good thing about Halloween II are the end credits. They run like nine minutes, meaning the movie is closer to ninety-five minutes than 105. Even though the ninety-five minutes feels like an eternity. The movie starts with director Zombie making fun of the idea of making another Halloween I read more

Shanghai Gesture (1941)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 14, 2018
Josef Von Sternberg always seemed preoccupied with telling stories involving places that he indubitably knew little about but therein lies the allure. He could develop the Moroccos, the Shanghais, the Macaos into places imbued with far more meaning than they probably ever could have in real life. B read more
