Day 5 of Noirvember: Charlie Borg in Wicked Woman (1953)
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 5, 2021
Today’s Noirvember post shines the spotlight on the skeevy, slimy, but unforgettable Charlie Borg in Wicked Woman (1953). WHAT’S WICKED WOMAN ABOUT? The “Wicked Woman” of the film’s title is Billie Nash (Beverly Michaels), a kind of distaff drifter who, at the film’s beginning, is arriving read more

Charlie Chaplin Sightings....Will You Join Me?
A Person in the Dark Posted by FlickChick on Aug 27, 2020
So, here's the thing. I am endlessly fascinated with and amazed by Charlie Chaplin.For all you Buster folks, this is not a comparison. I really love Buster, too. What amazes me about Charlie (we are on a first name basis, just so you know), is how he remains relevant even 100 years after his f read more

Interrogation (2020) s01e09 – P.I. Charlie Shannon vs Amy Harlow 2003
The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 19, 2020
As I continue putting way too much thought into “Interrogation,” this episode stands distinctly in the “anti” non-linear department. This episode sets up both the pilot—so the penultimate episode loops back to the first—but also seems to be setting up the next—last—episode. It’s all read more
Interrogation (2020) s01e08 – P.I. Charlie Shannon vs Eric Fisher 1996
The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 18, 2020
There’s no “Interrogation” this episode. Nothing based on a recording or a transcript, just one hundred percent dramatization. “Interrogation” is like a true crime show only with recognizable (if not better) actors and no interviews with the actual people. It’s an exemplar of how not to read more

As we start out this blog feature, this section may become more concrete as I search for a common thread that runs throughout each film of the year. Right now, th read more

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 11, 2018
Despite being all about baseball–specifically baseball games–“Charlie Brown’s All Stars!” barely has any logic to how its baseball works. It’s summertime and Charlie Brown (Peter Robbins) loses the kids’ first game of baseball for them. Although, really, no one else on the team is any read more

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 8, 2018
Charlie Brown Clears the Air opens with a deceptively funny gag. Snoopy messing with Linus. It’s the only funny thing in the cartoon, produced for American Lung Association with the apparent purpose of boring children into environmentally responsible behavior. See, Snoopy’s in a mood because his read more

Sidney Toler as Charlie Chan.
While Warner Oland is my favorite Charlie Chan, I still enjoy many of Sidney Toler's outings as Earl Derr Biggers' Hawaiian police detective. One of Toler's best entries in the long-running film series is Castle in the Desert.
Like many Chan movies, the setting read more
A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1969, Bill Melendez)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Dec 31, 2017
A Boy Named Charlie Brown gets by on a lot of charm. It takes writer and creator Charles M. Schulz forever to get to the story. It takes Schulz so long to get to the story–Charlie Brown, spelling bee champ–it seems like there isn’t going to be a story. Schulz lays the groundwork for the story, read more
