A blogathon to convert friends to classic film: January 8th-9th, 2016 Many of you grew up loving classic movies. I didn’t. I knew few black-and-white films, and liked only a couple of them.

Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Oct 23, 2015
The first half of The Spirit of St. Louis, Billy Wilder’s ode to Charles Lindbergh, is engrossing. It’s even that rarest of traits in a biopic: fairly accurate.

Like The More the Merrier? (1943) Watch Singles (1992)
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Oct 4, 2015
It’s curious what will relegate a film to “dated” status. Of the last 30 years of rom-coms, Singles (1992) would make my top five. Yet due to its grunge soundtrack and location in then-trendy Seattle, Cameron Crowe’s paean to dating has been forgotten. I wonder why The More t read more

Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Sep 20, 2015
Having spent Saturday at the New Hampshire Highland Games & Festival, I’ve got bagpipe music still ringing in my ears, and tartan on the brain. I witnessed feats of strength that included FLIPPING an 130-pound log. Some star from Game of Thrones (aka the Mountain) even set a world record read more
