It's time to VAMP it up!

Why post the above image of Carole Lombard? Is it to remind us that next month, Turner Classic Movies in the U.S. (and Canada, too!) will air a tribute to Mack Sennett each Thursday? Well, it could be -- although Lombard's Sennett films won't air until the 27th. (Oh, and to Robert Osborne, Ben Manki read more

British TV Horror and How It Made Me Who I Am
Classic Horror Campaign Posted by Richard on Aug 6, 2012
My horror-loving life was formed by British television, either by the programmes it made, or the films it broadcast. For about eight really important years while I was growing up the only horror I got to see was courtesy of the three channels beamed by a not-always very reliable aerial into the Prob read more
Keira Knightley is at it again with another period piece with ANNA KARENINA
All Good Things Posted by monty on Jul 28, 2012
One of my occasional series I write is called From The Past To Now where I compare a modern star with their classic counterpart. One such pairing was Vivien Leigh and Keira Knightley. The main reason was because they each have done a fair amount of period films. Vivien did five films of those na read more

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

Let’s Hear it for the Dads: Three Father-Centric Classic Films
Classic Movie Hub Blog Posted by minooallen on Jun 16, 2012
If you’ve been to, oh say, any store in the last couple of weeks, you are well aware of what time of year it is — Father’s Day. And of course all the stores are telling you, in brightly colored signs, what your father needs to make that day complete — things like a new tie, a read more
Television Made Me Do It – A Look At Made-For-TV Classic Horror!
Classic Horror Campaign Posted by Richard on Jun 13, 2012
Article by Anthony Cowin I owe a lot to the 1970s. It was the decade of my childhood. It was a time when most of my cultural and political views were embryonic but growing fast. It was also the decade that scared the hell out of me. You see the 1970s was a golden age for television and horror didn read more

The Movie Rat Posted by Bernardo Villela on Jun 1, 2012
This is a topic I was thinking about just recently. It was likely inspired by some godawful Netflix or the like. There are many schools of thought on this but essentially it’s something I’ve never been consistent with and it’s also an emotional visceral decision rather than an inte read more

Fred Astaire
Who would you have rather danced with? Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly?
Arguably, they were two of the greatest performers ever to grace the screen. One was suave, mature and elegant, the other more forceful, happy-go-lucky and slightly danger read more
It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown (1969, Bill Melendez)
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 26, 2012
“It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown” is a rather ambitious cartoon, both from Melendez’s directorial standpoint and Charles M. Schulz’s narrative. It starts with the beginning of the school year, then moves back–through the writing of a theme–to the summer. Sch read more

I have my aunt Grace to thank for my (almost) life-long obsession with Classic Hollywood. She is the one who introduced me to movies that were made in the 1930s and onwards. The first two films she made me watch were Dracula (1931) a read more
