    Movies set between 1933 and 1946?

    I forgot about Duck Soup, an art deco fantasy land indeed! Hail Freedonia.

    Movies set between 1933 and 1946?

    For glitz and glamour, it's hard to beat any of the Thin Man films.

    Papillon (1973). Dustin Hoffman turns in a stellar performance.

    Would you want a remake of something you like to fix mistakes?

    I saw Gance's silent version of Napoleon years ago. Though a tad hesitant about sitting through a 4 hour silent film, albeit with orchestral accompaniment, it turned out quite well. The film is so well crafted that the four hours slipped by quite quickly, although I still remember the nasty...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I used the tern "the sun's over the yard arm" at an event yesterday and few people knew what I meant. Sometimes I despair.

    What Are You Reading

    Just finished The Strain by Del Toro and Hogan. I'm not a big vampire story fan but this was a decent quick read. At least the vampire was a monster...nothing charming about it in the least. Re-reading Bernard Cornwell's The Fort. It's a good read with interesting observations about Paul...

    Overly appreciated movies?

    As far as overrated films, there's so many of them that it hurts my head to mull it over. And as for musicals, I will admit to quite enjoying Cry Baby (1990).

    Your favorite movie quotes

    From Papillon (1973): "Make the best of what we offer you, and you will suffer less than you deserve."

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    The world is definitely a lesser place with the passing of Pete Seeger. A truly sad event.

    Unappreciated masterpieces?

    If I may, a few more: The Battle of Algiers (1966): Compelling look at another dirty war (I'd lean toward 'Intimate Enemies' (2007) as well, but, though a well crafted film I'm not sure it would reach the masterpiece level) Comedies never seem to be considered as masterpieces but I'd...

    Unappreciated masterpieces?

    I know it best as 'The Beast' as well. I encountered the longer title when looking up the date on IMDB. I suspect IMDB uses the longer title to avoid confusion with similarly titled works. You're certainly right about 'Conspiracy' as well...a truly chilling film.

    What Are You Reading

    Haven't read Dominion, but I've read all of Sansom's 'Shardlake' series. Well written with interesting plots...good reads.

    Unappreciated masterpieces?

    Some films that certainly deserve a wider viewing public just slip under the radar. Here’s a few that really should be better known…there’s a lot more. Breaker Morant (1980) An excellent, well acted, well directed film. The Beast of War (1988) Obsession, redemption, revenge…a terrific...

    Snowed In...?

    She definitely picked the wrong time to move to Toronto! We just had a nasty ice storm. I lost power, land line and cell service on the 21st December...and a large tree branch fell on the car. No power, heat, light etc...miserable. We got power back on Christmas Day...Christmas eve was -14C...
