"What Price Hollywood," or A Star Is Torn
The Man on the Flying Trapeze Posted by David on Aug 8, 2012
You can't talk about the 1932 film "What Price Hollywood?" without dishing some Hollywood dirt -- that the plot, for instance, was inspired by the real-life marriage of rising star Colleen Moore and producer John McCormick, or that Lowell Sherman based his portrayal of dipsomaniac director Max Carey read more

Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Aug 2, 2012
A família de Tarzan Direto das selvas para o mundo todo através de quadrinhos, filmes e séries, o personagem Tarzan alcançou fama mundial. Pouco importava se no cinema da década de 1930 os efeitos especiais fossem bizarros e os animais muito esquisitos; não houve menino que não sonhou read more

Great Recasting: I'll have it Rocky with a hint of Cagney
Lets Misbehave: A Tribute to Precode Hollywood Posted by Emma on Jul 27, 2012
This is my contribution to the 'Great Recasting Blogathon':
Like most of the classic film bloggers, I had a
problem finding a post-1965 movie that I loved enough and had enough knowledge
of to recast. My other issue was that at the beginning I made the decision that
I was going to change the fil read more

A pergunta que não quer calar: Cidadão Kane ou Casablanca?
Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Jul 21, 2012
A pergunta que não quer calar: Cidadão Kane ou Casablanca? É inevitável não topar com listas dos melhores filmes já feitos ou mesmo ter uma vontade louca de fazer sua própria lista, por mais complicado que isso seja. Dois filmes feitos na década de 1940 são fortes candidatos ao título read more
"Jewel Robbery": A Little Gem
The Man on the Flying Trapeze Posted by David on Jul 17, 2012
Please forgive me.
I have been raised in a cynical age, so expressions of sincerity don't come easily to me. On the one hand, I am a firm believer in what Lily Tomlin once said: "No matter how cynical you get, it's never enough to keep up." On the other, when I come across something that's genuinel read more

So, I contacted read more
