A Família do Gênio (1952) / Belles on Their Toes (1952)
Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Nov 30, -0001
A Família do Gênio (1952) / Belles on Their Toes (1952) Um dos meus filmes favoritos que pode ser chamado de “tesouro escondido” é “Papai Batuta”, comédia de 1950. Apesar de ser divertido e adorável, tem momentos dramáticos e é um deles que torna o filme tão read more
Theater Streaming: Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland Fight the Power in Vietnam-era Documentary F.T.A. (1972)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Nov 30, -0001
Over the past few years of intensifying chaos in our world, I’ve often thought about the interviews Donald Sutherland gave to promote The Hunger Games, the first film in a franchise for which he portrayed the insidious President Snow. It was 2014 and he hoped that the film’s message woul read more

Out of the Past - A Classic Film Blog Posted by Raquel Stecher on Nov 30, -0001
It's become an annual tradition to go on a tour of the Warner Bros. lot every time we go to the TCM Classic Film Festival. So far we’ve done three different tours. Our first was an official Warner Bros. VIP tour, our second was with Rob of Dear Old Hollywood (read about it here) and thi read more

Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Nov 30, -0001
Vida de Cachorro / A Dog’s Life (1918) Muito antes de Rin-Tin-Tin, Skippy (ou melhor, Asta) e Lassie, houve um cãozinho que dividiu a tela com um grande astro, chegando até mesmo a roubar a cena. Em um dos primeiros filmes que têm num animal parte importante da trama, Charles Chaplin read more

William A. Wellman: um realizador obscurecido
Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Nov 30, -0001
William A. Wellman: um realizador obscurecido A década de 1930 fiou muito mais marcada pelo nome de grandes produtores que de grandes diretores. Os estúdios controlavam toda a produção e eram aqueles que davam carta branca a um filme que escreveram seus nomes na História, a exemplo de David read more
TCM comes to a city near you. Whether you like it or not.
Out of the Past - A Classic Film Blog Posted by Raquel Stecher on Nov 30, -0001
TCM is doing a 5-City Tour called Road to Hollywood that will lead up to their first Classic Film Festival. I think TCM might have a vendetta against me (I don't know why that is because I love them). First of all, I haven't been able to afford the channel (that will change later in the year th read more
A Custom-Made Classic Film Calendar
Out of the Past - A Classic Film Blog Posted by Raquel Stecher on Nov 30, -0001
A few months ago I was shopping online for a movie themed calendar. My search was in vain. What's available on the market is not great and for classic film fans like me the only calendar available is the same movie posters one that's been recycled year after year.
I wrote to Kate Gabrielle on the c read more

Caminhando Sob a Chuva de Primavera (1970) / A Walk in the Spring Rain (1970) Quando dois ícones do cinema se encontram, a Magia pode acontecer. Não estamos falando de “all-star movies”, mas do simples encontro de dois artistas celebrados. Como quando a ganhadora de três Oscar read more

How To Be a Classic Film Fan without TCM
Out of the Past - A Classic Film Blog Posted by Raquel Stecher on Nov 30, -0001
I do not have Turner Classic Movies and extenuating circumstances prevent me from getting the channel. I'm not going to explain why because from the reaction I've been getting from people, it's very unlikely you will understand. I love TCM and the channel played a pivotal role in the early read more
A primeira chanchada a gente nunca esquece
Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Nov 30, -0001
A primeira chanchada a gente nunca esquece Em uma manhã nublada de domingo, minha mãe me deu um conselho: “Já que você gosta tanto de filmes antigos, você tem também de assistir às chanchadas!”. Resolvi seguir sua proposta e aproveitei para assistir ao filme que estava começando. read more
A Sombra da Guilhotina / Reign of Terror (aka The Black Book, 1949)
Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Nov 30, -0001
A Sombra da Guilhotina / Reign of Terror (aka The Black Book, 1949) Uma narração policial abre o filme. Tudo muito noir e comum, se a narração não estivesse nos apresentando os protagonistas da fase mais sangrenta da Revolução Francesa. Quando alguns minutos se passam e as lições de read more
