A Shooting Star: Wings (1927) Part 2 Charles "Buddy" Rogers, Clara Bow, & Richard Arlen This post was written after watching the second half of Wings (1927). Okay. That's it. I'm officially a die-hard Wings fan. If you read my previous post about the first half of Wings, you'll kno read more

Waste not, want not! Cary Grant & Ingrid Bergman in Notorious (1946) There are so many classic movies that I have sitting on my shelves that I haven't even opened yet. I always do this - I always order stuff off of amazon and then once the items arrive, I excitedly rip open the box, lo read more

A Shooting Star: Wings (1927) Charles "Buddy" Rogers, Clara Bow, & Richard Arlen in all their depressed glory Call me a silent movie convert if you will, because I have totally fallen in love with the genre ever since watching Flesh and The Devil late last year. Prior to this, I had ne read more

Play it again Sam. NOT! There are some classic movies that I couldn't bear to watch  more than once. I'm not saying that these movies are crap, I'm just saying that I would find it incredibly hard to sit through them a second time. What brought this on? Last weekend I began watching some read more

My thoughts on A Farewell To Arms (1932) Gary Cooper & Helen Hayes clutch each other in the moonlight. Holy moly, sex was all over the place in this one! Phew! I had DVR'd this great film earlier on in the week and just sat down to watch it this afternoon, as soon as I got home from wo read more

Life imitates art! Dancing in Central Park, NYC as you do! What would life be like if we all lived in a classic Hollywood musical? I'm talking one of the technicolor musical wonders of the 1950s - like Singin' In the Rain, An American In Paris, Gigi, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Bandwago read more

The Sting stung me! Ladies and gentlemen, I have just had my mind properly blown! "All it takes is a little bit of confidence." Now, don't ask me why I waited so long to see this movie -- let's pretend that it was just released in 2013 and I wasted no time at all in going to buy myself a read more

The Warren Beatty Appreciation Post I never much liked Warren Beatty ... until a couple years ago, that is, when I sat down and made myself watch Splendor In The Grass (1960) and Bonnie & Clyde (1967). Up until then, I couldn't stomach the thought of him. Why? I don't honestly know. It may read more

A Moment In Film: The little girl with the big voice It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it's magnificent! What I'm alluding to is when you're taken over by some powerful, overwhelming feeling whilst watching a scene in a movie. We've all experienced this feeling before (right? read more

Hollywood's Triumph: 1939 If you're a lover of classic film, you'll probably already know that 1939 is considered Hollywood's golden year. In terms of production and profits, 1939 was a literal goldmine for both movie studios and cinemas. Some of the greatest movies ever made were released in read more

Viva Las Vegas! Ann Margret & Elvis Presley show us how it's done on the dance floor. The same aunt that introduced me to The Wizard Of Oz and Dracula when I was a child, introduced me to Viva Las Vegas a few years later when I was slightly older. (She's got incredible taste in mo read more

I've been tagged for the Liebster Award! I was chosen for the Liebster Award by the lovely and ever supportive Annmarie from the Classic Movie Hub Blog! Right from the get-go, she's taken me under her wing so to speak and has shown me a mountain load of support. It's because of her that I'v read more

TCM Party // The Creature From the Black Lagoon Last night TCM aired The Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954) and us viewers actually managed to get TCM Party trending on Twitter (hurrah!) This basically means that a bunch of classic movie fans were live tweeting the film using #TCMParty read more

My thoughts on Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) You know which movie is really scary (but really funny at the same time)? Arsenic and Old Lace (1944). Now, I've seen this film a few times before, so when I sat down to watch it again yesterday, I knew what I was in for. It's not as if I didn't know read more

Wishing you all a Happy New Year! I really dislike New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. I have since I was little. To me, New Year's is just another day and I never understood why everyone around me went absolutely ga-ga over it. Why spend the money on a huge bash and endless over-priced drinks? read more

My thoughts on The Bishop's Wife (1947) Okay, so I watched The Bishop's Wife (1947) last night on TCM for the first time and despite the fact that I enjoyed the movie immensely, one thing stood out and really unnerved me about the film: am I the only one who found it REALLY weird that Dudley read more

Friends of mine If I could pick one character from a classic film to be my real life friend, it would definitely be Nick Charles (played by William Powell in The Thin Man films). Here's a guy who seems to know absolutely everyone who's ever lived. He's fun, he knows how to give a good din read more

Greta Garbo Appreciation Post Now, we all know how much I love the Garbo. Yes, I just said the Garbo. No one ever had a face or a voice like hers. This woman was made to be a movie star! Can you believe that we never saw her in colour?! I just thought about this this morning as I was read more
