It's not often I get the chance to say that I've seen an Alfred Hitchcock film for the first time. But that was exactly the case last night as the Turner Classic Movies channel showed THE FARMER'S WIFE (1928). THE FARMER'S WIFE is one of Hitchcock's earliest features as a director, made well before read more

I recently bought this DVD from Amazon for $5. It contains four different low-budget science-fiction films from the 1950s and 60s. Calling them "Sci-Fi Classics" is a very big stretch....there's certainly no FORBIDDEN PLANET or DESTINATION MOON here. However, each film does have various items of int read more

Criterion's latest classic film release is Ernst Lubitsch's TO BE OR NOT TO BE (1942).

I'm sure everyone by now has heard that Ben Affleck will be Batman in the upcoming Superman-Batman DC movie/project/re-boot. And I'm sure everyone can guess how I feel about this.
