Edith Head: Hollywood’s Material Girl
Pretty Clever Films Posted by Bennett O'Brian on Oct 28, 2013
In 2011, ever-replenishing crowds gathered to see the exhibit ‘Grace Kelly: From Movie Star to Princess’ and demand was so great in Toronto that hours had to be extended at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. It’s likely that many of the attendees viewed these carefully preserved gowns thinking only of the read more
The Edith Head Google Doodle: Who Wore the Dress? And in What Film?
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Oct 28, 2013
I've been sitting here admiring the lovely new Google doodle, which was created to celebrate the October 28 birthday of eight-time Oscar winning costume designer Edith Head. I couldn't believe that I did not immediately determine the film and star connected with each dress. This woman is one of my f read more
Pic of the Day: “Head” revisited (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Aug 8, 2013
It’s time to once again take a look at Lord High ‘n’ Low from Head (1968), the only feature film from the Pre-Fab Four, the Monkees. If you can figure out what is going on at any point in this movie, please let me know. I mean, I love it, but, well, there it is. “Boys… read more

The Voices In His Head – Mel Blanc: The Man of 1000 Voices
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jun 19, 2013
Mel Blanc is a man who entertained millions of people both during his lifetime and after, and though his name is well known in certain circles, for most people he did so largely anonymously. Fortunately, the documentary Mel Blanc: The Man of 1000 Voices goes a long way towards bringing this wonderfu read more

Here There Be Dragons (Or At Least a Dragon’s Head) – The First Trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Makes its Debut
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jun 11, 2013
Okay, I admit it. I’ve yet to sit all the way through any of the Lord of the Rings movies. And considering what I heard about the first Hobbit movie I doubt that that’s likely to change with this one. Probably someday when this trilogy is wrapped up I’ll sit down with all of them a read more
More Head – Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974) Script and Other Bits
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jun 5, 2013
A few days ago I wrote about three different movies whose titles all began with “Bring me the Head of…”. Purely by coincidence, just a day later I ran across this post from Cinephilia and Beyond concerning Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia that I thought I’d share with you read more
TRANCE Review: Head Games
ScribeHard on Film Posted by ScribeHard on Apr 21, 2013
In July of 2012, I participated in a blogathon: The Best Hitchcock Films Hitchcock Never Made. The premise of the event was to choose a film that legendary director Alfred Hitchcock DIDN’T make, but has the same feel or style of a Hitchcock film. My choice was Bryan Singer‘s The Usual read more
I just want to *petpet* her wee head.
The Jeanette MacDonald Blog Posted by Della Street ™ on Mar 25, 2013
Look at this. LOOK AT THIS PICTURE. You have one job, and it is to look at this fabulosity. See, I'm being very generous in sharing the hi-res of this because, as you know, I have a phobia of inciting bad fanfiction. I wonder what the technical term for that would be...
1.) Lookit her wearing he read more
Pic of the Day: “Head” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Mar 5, 2013
Today we’re revisiting Head (1968), directed by Bob Rafelson, written by Rafelson, Jack Nicholson, and The Monkees, and starring the Pre-Fab Four themselves. Timothy is in full froth during the inexplicable “Atta boy Mike” scene. “You really can’t describe the picture,” read more

GlamAmor Posted by on Jan 25, 2013
With the Golden Globes a couple weekends ago and the Screen Actors Guild coming up, we're now deep into awards season here in Los Angeles. At any of these shows, I am always fascinated by the inevitable influences from classic cinema that appear on the red carpet. Film noir was front and read more

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 23, 2013
Hang on for this week’s video! It’s Head (1968), starring The Monkees, produced and directed by Bob Rafelson, and written by The Monkees (uncredited), Rafelson and Jack Nicholson. This is the film in its entirety. As I’ve said many times previously, please don’t try to make read more

Every year I love sharing examples of Classic Holidays--the photographs, radio programs, vintage video, and films of holidays past 1920s to 1970s. These include GlamAmor-ous Holiday Moments from It's a Wonderful Life (1946) and Meet me in St. Louis (1944). Or Cinema Style Files on films like T read more
Out & About--A CONVERSATION WITH EDITH HEAD at the Pasadena Playhouse
GlamAmor Posted by on Nov 29, 2012
The year is 1981. The production for Carl Reiner's Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid is underway on the Universal lot. The studio's iconic costume designer--Edith Head--is running late to meet with us. Her attentive assistant, Stuart, steps up and issues apologies to the audience before ti read more
The Vampires: The Severed Head (1915, Louis Feuillade)
The Stop Button Posted by on Aug 25, 2012
I probably should have paid more attention to The Severed Head‘s title. Even when the discussion of a decapitated murder victim came up, the title didn’t register any significance. Guess what? Director Feuillade gets in a severed head. I didn’t even think the murder case mattered, read more
“Video” of the Week: “Head” interview
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 13, 2012
This week’s video is another that is not really a video at all. It’s the audio of a radio interview Timothy did to promote The Monkees‘ film Head (1968), conducted by Dick Stroud for The Hollywood Report. Annette Funicello can be heard here as well. It’s a rare treat to hear read more
"Oh, I meant to tell you. I was standing on my head the other day and I got to thinking how probably unusual it is for someone of my age to do this."

May Days of Melies – The Man with the India Rubber Head [L'homme à la tête en caoutchouc] (1901)
The Giddy Blog Posted by chrisgiddens on May 7, 2012
Méliès unveils a new trick in The Man with the India Rubber Head (aka L’homme à la tête en caoutchouc). A scientist (mad?) brings forth a living head he’s been storing in a box; a head that happens to be identical to the scientist (a clone?). Méliès then begins the new magic by blowing read more
March Melies Madness! – The Triple Conjurer and the Living Head [L'illusioniste double et la tête vivante] (1900)
The Giddy Blog Posted by chrisgiddens on Mar 29, 2012
Méliès splits into 2 versions of himself, after which point the doppelganger interacts with the original (or is it vice versa?). A living, bodiless-head is produced and then turned into a full-bodied woman. Finally, the devil appears and ultimately reveals himself to be a 3rd Melies! http://www.imdb read more
