    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The other night, Caged (1950). Wow. If you haven't seen it, it pulls no punches, even in it's (comparatively) sanitized depiction of life behind bars. As part of the Saturday night edition of Noir Alley, Eddie Muller's intros and outros gave insight to how the content and dialogue got past the...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Narrow Margin, from TCM's Noir Alley. Charles McGraw and Marie Windsor in the same noir, with not a wasted shot or line of tougher than nails dialogue, and directed by Richard Fleischer add up to a movie that pulls you along at a fast pace. Fleischer has some of the actors recite their lines...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Sort of along the same idea, a film reviewer many years ago observed that there were no new Bob Hope movies, just new Bob Hope titles.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    A double feature last night, with The Greatest Showman, followed by The Great Gatsby, the one with Leonardo DiCaprio. The first was entertaining, with a La La Land vibe, seasoned with Les Miserables. My father-in-law asked if it was historically accurate: I did not think very much so. The second...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Last night, an Australian show about Charlie and Nicola, a husband and wife team of crime scene cleaners (Toxiclean: Your Mess is our Life) who also solve mysteries. The title only makes sense once you've watched the show: Mr. and Mrs. Murder. Light touch, with a good chemistry between the...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Front Page (1931) with Pat O'Brien and Adolphe Menjou. The wise cracks come at you fast and furious. Fun to catch the lines that showed up in His Gal Friday ("Madam, are you referring to me?") and compare how Adolphe and Cary deliver them.

    Pacific Rim: Uprising, with Youngest Shellhammer. Too much fun!

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    What was the last tv show I watched? We've been trying to like the Netflix reboot of Lost in Space, but poorly written stories against a backdrop of pretty good CGI planetscapes are still poorly written stories. Mrs. Shellhammer and I agreed that we basically don't care about the characters...

    What a revoltin' development this post is. Top part should've been in the movie thread. Sorry...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Journey of Natty Gann. Well done, with a slight tv feel, and for FL members, the hats are plenteous and fine. If you are unfamiliar with it, about 1936, single dad Sol with daughter Natty struggles to find work. A job is available in far-off Washington so dad hops company bus without being...

    I do believe MST3K did their magic on this one.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Hidden Figures - well done and engaging all the way through. Recommended. ...and chapter 6 of Red Barry, "The Human Target." (chapter title, not a nick name for Red); TCM runs a chapter once a week. One character is a Russian singer, so when we drop in to her scenes at a theater (away from car...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    An usual double-feature night - Justice League off of Amazon followed by The Petrified Forest (1936) via TCM. JL was okay, the first half with the characters meeting and learning to trust each other. The second half was non-stop action. Entertaining, but not one we would re-watch. The Petrified...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The last two episodes of season four of Doctor Blake Mysteries. These were on the dvd rental from the Netflix. We're waiting for season five to show up on streaming. Disclaimer: we were frustrated by Lucien's wiffle-waffle when Mei Lin showed up. When it's good, it's an enjoyable whodunnit with...

    Dopo-koke? Yikes! And leave us not forget the world's foremost scientific detective "Coke Ennyday" in the The Mystery of the Leaping Fish, presented by Mr. Griffiths and starring Douglas Fairbanks.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    From 1936, an MGM "Crime Does Not Pay" short, Hit and Run Driver. Sort of procedural and early CSI. Not a wasted shot, nor any filler dialogue. Followed by chapter 5 of a Red Barry serial. Larry (Buster) Crabbe in a swell suit and fedora battling Russian, Chinese, and local criminals for bonds...

    Another Who does ‘Round the Clock Vintage

    As a longtime spectator from up in the cheap seats, I agree with St. Louis, LizzieMaine, and vitanola that there has been some sort of shift away from The Golden Era on the forum. While I do not collect and wear fedoras, or listen to recordings from the first couple of decades of the twentieth...

    Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. We laughed a lot. Group consensus: Jack Black steals the movie.
