BAAM Halloween Crossover: Idle Hands
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Oct 31, 2014
Hi recyclers! Remember me? I’ve been hard at work on A Year With Kate over at The Film Experience (now almost complete!), so I’ve been out of touch these last few months. But I could never pass a holiday without sitting down for a good beer and a bad movie with my good friend Gabe Feinbe read more
2014 Emmys LateBlog (‘Cause who gets out of work at 4:30pm??)
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Aug 25, 2014
7:33pm Margaret: Greetings and salutations to the DVR crowd! Anne: A Great and Gracious Good Evening to you all! Margaret: Since the Emmys (or as I like to think of them, Oscar’s annoying younger cousin) are about as bloated as televised award shows get, and since NBC made the baffling read more
HMWYBS: Gone With The Wind (Part 1)
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Aug 20, 2014
“With God as my witness, I’ll never go hungry again!” It’s a good line for an act one closer. In fact, it’s a good line for a film closer. Gone With The Wind could easily have stopped right at this moment and been considered a beautiful, sentimental film. (Yes, also read more
HMWYBS: Batman & Bombs
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Jul 15, 2014
Considering they share source material, Batman (1966) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012) couldn’t be more different films. The first(ish) cinematic adventure of the Caped Crusader is a silly satire brimming with ’60s psychedelic colors and the truly weirdest (best?) puns you’ve ever read more
Hit Me With Your Best Shot: GOOOOLDFINGAH!
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Jun 17, 2014
Margaret: Let’s talk about James Bond. Specifically, the movie that arguably clinched his status as an enduring cultural brand and challenges the discussant to resist overuse of the word ‘iconic’. No, not License to Kill. I’m talking, of course, about Goldfinger. No one ever makes a Top Five read more
Hit Me With Your Best Shot: The Letter (1940)
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Apr 15, 2014
There’s a reason Kim Carnes wrote a song about Bette Davis’s eyes. The song might be lousy, but it pays homage to a simple truth: Bette Davis had the best eyes of any post-silent film era actress. The intensity of her stare is startling, and she could move through the emotional waves of read more
HMWYBS: Can’t Stop The Music
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Apr 1, 2014
This week for Hit Me With Your Best Shot we’re trying something a little bit different: two bloggers for the price of one! Please welcome back Margaret as we discuss this week’s movie. Anne Marie: On the April Fool’s Prank scale from “short-sheeting the bed” to “saran wrap over the toilet,” read more
HMWYBS: LA Confidential
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Mar 25, 2014
Note from Anne Marie: Please welcome again the fabulously talented Margaret, who’s covering The Film Experience’s Hit Me With Your Best Shot challenge here while I binge-watch Katharine Hepburn movies for TFE. I leave you in her capable hands. Boys and girls, don’t make the same mi read more
Hit Me With Your Best Shot 2014: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Mar 18, 2014
Note from Anne Marie: Please give major snaps my frequent collaborator Margaret, who wrote this inaugural post for The Film Experience’s Hit Me With Your Best Shot event, covering my rear while I cover Katharine Hepburn. First time viewers, welcome. Long-time viewers: welcome back! Though it& read more
Number-Crunching The 86th Academy Awards
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Feb 28, 2014
Hi. Remember me? I used to write this blog before I started an epic journey through Katharine Hepburn’s filmography. Turns out epic journeys are way more time-consuming than I thought. Anyway, the Academy Awards are on Sunday and I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to re-visit my ye read more
What Price Hollywood? – The Movie That Inspired A Star Is Born
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Jan 17, 2014
I’d like to start 2014 with a throwback. All the way back in 2012, when I started (or rather restarted) We Recycle Movies, the blog was reborn with a trio of reviews of the various versions of A Star Is Born (1937, 1954, and 1976, respectively). At the time, I remarked that they were all based on read more
What A Year It Was! 2013 In Review
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Dec 31, 2013
Wow, was this an incredible year! It started with a massive movie musical missive against Les Mis (that lasted maybe longer than it should have), then for a while we juggled (mostly) regular posts and contributions to Hit Me With Your Best Shot at The Film Experience. That last one led to an ongoing read more
A Christmas Carol Revisited
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Dec 23, 2013
Merry Christmas! Last year I weighed in on four weird versions of Dickens’s classic Christmas story, but I barely scratched the surface of A Christmas Carol adaptations. My good friend Shiraz invited me to discuss the wider world of Christmas Carols on The Flickering Podcast. I still managed read more
Sound of Music Live Follow Up (and more!)
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Dec 14, 2013
After last week’s “live” blog of The Sound Of Music Live! on NBC, I just couldn’t let the subject of musical theater on television lie. No, this isn’t like my obsession with Les Mis in February. (I know it’s been a year but that movie is still so bad.) The Film Ex read more
Beer And A Movie Black Christmas(es) Crossover!
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Dec 9, 2013
Gory Christmas to all, and to all a good fright! ‘Tis the season for the holiday Beer And A Movie Crossover! Gabe brought over two great beers, and we decided to watch Black Christmas, both the 1974 original and the 2006 remake. I’m beginning suspect we may need to do more research before choosing read more
The Sound Of Music Live “Live” Blog!
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Dec 5, 2013
7:55 PST – A great and gracious good evening to you, Recyclers! By now, The Sound Of Music Live! starring Carrie Underwood, Stephen Moyer, Christian Borle, and (more to the point) Laura Benanti and Audra Freakin’ McDonald is drawing to a close. However, thanks to NBC programming delays, read more
Christmas With Carol Burnett
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Dec 1, 2013
Last week, PBS broadcasted the 16th Annual Mark Twain Award for Comedy, which honored the Queen of Sketch Comedy, Carol Burnett. As we know, this blog is a big fan of Carol Burnett, so I’m not biased at all when I say this is a much deserved award and a long time coming. Fortunately, I’ read more
We Recycle Lines: Kate the Great vs Princess Grace
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Nov 17, 2013
A 1940 film, based on a play of the same name, with one of the starriest-ever Old Hollywood casts. Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, and Ruth Hussey held the principal roles, with frequent Hepburn collaborator George Cukor directing. It remains one of the premier entries in the “c read more
BRB @ AFI
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Nov 10, 2013
Hello Recyclers, No post this week. I’m attending AFI Fest with Nathaniel from The Film Experience. I’ll be writing reviews of everything I see and do for TFE this week, so be sure to check it out for all of your Oscar Buzz and Hollywood glamor! read more
Guest Post by Adam: “Carrie” New and Old
We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Nov 2, 2013
Hey Recyclers! My friend Adam B. is back with another review! This time it’s an original classic and the new remake. Which is your favorite? Post in the comments section below! What separates Brian De Palma’s Carrie (1976) from most other horror movies with teenage characters is that it’s read more
