It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966, Bill Melendez)
The Stop Button Posted by on Feb 13, 2013
“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” is near perfect. Director Melendez and writer Charles M. Schulz create this beautiful little experience. The special’s excellence is in its structure. “Pumpkin” has the main plot–Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin, w read more
Christmas Special Review- It’s Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown
The Movie Rat Posted by Bernardo Villela on Dec 24, 2012
Unlike its predecessor, and like many sequels, this sequel doesn’t quite work and fails to live up to the standard set by the original. There is a lack of focus in the story-telling and a lack of foreword progress in the narrative. The tale starts with Charlie inexplicably hocking wares relate read more

You’re in Love, Charlie Brown (1967, Bill Melendez)
The Stop Button Posted by on May 20, 2012
As hard as director Melendez tries, there’s not much he can do with “You’re in Love, Charlie Brown.” The special’s two salient problems are the animation and the writing. Melendez comes up with some truly stunning shots in the special; for example, he closes with a bea 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
Play It Again, Charlie Brown (1971, Bill Melendez)
The Stop Button Posted by on Mar 4, 2012
“Play It Again, Charlie Brown” is shockingly bad. About the only good part of it comes near the end, as Danny Hjeim’s Schroeder debates whether to play rock instead of Beethoven at a concert. There’s actual internal conflict and so on. Unfortunately, it’s a small scene read more
Living statue Charlie Chaplin tribute
Movie Classics Posted by Judy on Feb 16, 2012
On a trip to Norwich yesterday, I was delighted to see a human statue paying tribute to Charlie Chaplin. When I put some money in the hat he gave me a little bow! On returning home I had a look on Youtube and discovered that someone had put up two videos of him, so am linking to these for others to read more
Matchstick Charlie (1)
Pretty Clever Films Posted by Pretty Clever Film Gal on Jan 10, 2012
In case you’re wondering if this photo is something other than it appears to be, it’s not. It is Charlie Chaplin’s head rendered in matchsticks. The artist, a Brit named David Mach, makes lots of heads out of matchsticks, so why not Charlie? In case you’re wondering why I&# read more

61 Days of Halloween- It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
The Movie Rat Posted by Bernardo Villela on Oct 10, 2011
Most holidays worth their while encompass entire seasons, such as Christmas, for example. However, as you may have noticed there is a corporate push every year for us to think about the next holiday even sooner. While this has many negative side effects I figure I may as well embrace it. Since Labor read more

Did you see Google today? They created an original video, an homage to Charlie Chaplin for his 122nd birthday. It's pretty awesome. The only point of this post is that I don't want this to read more
♥ Silent Sweethearts: Charlie Chaplin and Edna Purviance ♥ (1)
A Person in the Dark Posted by FlickChick on Feb 11, 2011
One of the reasons I love Charlie Chaplin's Little Tramp above all others is that he is romantic. Yes, he is clever, acrobatic and hysterically funny, but there is a depth to his character that was introduced through the element of romance. Before Edna Purviance (his leading lady from 1915-1923), Ch read more

There’s something wrong with Uncle Charlie.
True Classics Posted by Brandie on Oct 28, 2010
Being an inveterate Alfred Hitchcock fan, when someone asks me to name my favorite film from the prolific director, I find it a difficult question to answer at first. I can give a top five quite easily: North by Northwest, Strangers on a Train, Notorious, Rear Window, and Shadow of a Doubt. Each of read more
