Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Jul 28, 2016
With Star Trek Beyond out in theaters just in time for the 50th anniversary of the original show, I find myself thinking back about my lifetime of Trek experiences. I first saw the show as a little girl, when it was on in re-runs during the 1970s. I have been a fan ever since, seeing every movie and read more

PARCHED Review: Drink It In
ScribeHard on Film Posted by Michael Nazarewycz on Jun 15, 2016
Gender inequality in filmmaking is a critical issue.

Will It Be As Magnificent As Its Predecessors? – Here’s The New Trailer For The Magnificent Seven
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Apr 22, 2016
Considering that the original was an adaptation of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai, one of the things that I’m kind of curious about is how much credit will be given to that movie when it comes to this modern remake of John Sturges’s 1960 movie The Magnificent Seven. Another questio read more

We need a little cheering up hereabouts, and who better to take on that daunting task than birthday girl, the heavenly Miss Ann Miller? We catch her here, indomitable and not even tapping, on Merv.

How the West Was Won ( 1962 ) ....and How it Didn't Win the Cinematography Oscar
Silver Scenes - A Blog for Classic Film Lovers Posted by The Metzinger Sisters on Feb 28, 2016
There were some years in Oscar's history that were stellar. In those years no matter how good a film was, compared to all of the fine films it was competing with, it would be just on par with the average. In such years as these it is understandable when a really good film loses an Academy Award. The read more
