[Slim Portly]

This afternoon, 1944's silly but sweet comedy/fantasy "It Happened Tomorrow," starring Dick Powell and the amazingly beautiful Linda Darnell.

i had a good laugh out loud yesterday to "I was a male War Bride" with anne sheridan and the brilliantly funny Cary Crant!

I keep meaning to catch that one.

 

[Ethan Bentley]

I watched The Third Man last night for the first time. I love the hat Harry Lime was wearing. Great film noir.

A superb film indeed. I've just watched "Mr. Smith goes to Washington".

 

[yobbos1]

Sunday aft I watched 'To Have and Have Not' Bogie and Bacall, written by Hemingway, how can you go wrong?

 

[Spiffy]

Rocky Horror Picture Show (we're screening/shadowing it on campus next month), a DVD of greasepaint-animated shorts by Caroline Leaf (The Street/Two Sisters).

 

[Frykitty]

A rather disappointing "Romanzo Criminale".. But a superb "City of Men" the sequel to "City of God" which is also most excellent.
"Night of the Hunter" is this evening flick.

Double Dutch

2 Ronald Reagan B-flickers on Turner:
Smashing the Money Ring, 1939. Dutch is Lieut. Brass Bancroft, Secret Service, who goes undercover as a convict to bust up a counterfeiting operation inside a prison.
Murder in the Air, 1940. Brass and his sidekick Gabby (Eddie Foy Jr.) chase around Fifth Columnists. Special guest appearances by the Un-American Activities Committee and the late lamented dirigible Macon.

Considering these were formula thrillers lasting under an hour, they're pretty damn watchable. Reagan was just about to break big with Kings Row, and you can see he was being groomed for better things. Anyway, I grew up with him in the White House, so it's always nice seeing him as a sharp, young, card-carrying union man...

 

[Warden]

Not sure why, but I watched DAS BOOT for the first time in years. I was so impressed that the film had stood up to the test of time, I rushed out and bought the orignal series, all 5 hours of it. Finished watching the series last night.

Has to be one of my top ten war films.

The Wedding Rehearsal (1932)

Roland "Topper" Young is a 40ish bachelor wastrel (hmm, my kinda fella) who has to get married or be disowned. Imagine 4 Weddings and a Funeral done by Korda in 1932 with no funeral and you have it. Nothing earthshaking but remarkably well staged, paced and dialogued. Unusual in several small ways:
- One of the actors co-wrote it. That wasn't cricket then.
- Earliest film I'm aware of in which cats play a recurring role.
- First big role for Merle Oberon — who plays the wallflower (!!)

 

[Dundee]

I just watched Seabiscuit. I feel it is the best horse and hat movie made.

 

[bobalooba]

I just watched v for vendetta, not as good as the book but still pretty cool and v's last couple of lines were really cool.

The Return of Dr. X

 

[BinkieBaumont]

What Ho!

I've just returned from a Matinee preview of "Easy Virtue" what Topping fun! crackling one liners between Colin Firth and the de lovely Kirsten Scott- Thomas, reminded me of Hepburn and Cary Grant, in the Philadelphia story, I was wondering who Jessica Biel reminded me of, of course! a rather young and very Blonde Joan Crawford, Jessica is a good actress, great Movie future for this young gel!

Loved the line "I'm very much like drowning, once you give up the struggle its quite pleasurable"

Do see it its such fun the audience I saw it with "roared"

Miss Mojito, Miss 1929 and other Fedorista Gels, will die for the frocks and hats, whilst the Chaps will lust after the vintage BMW sports car!

Watchmen at 12:01 am Friday, like a proper geek.

 

[UWS Cowboy]

Watchmen. Loved most everything about it. The first 3 quarters of the film were perfect. The rest was great. Jackie Earle Haley is the definitive Rorschach, I mean wow, he was phenomenal. I can see a lot of people who aren't fans of the graphic novel coming out of this one and scratching their heads, because it is not the typical movie. It's a weird science fiction film with a 1980's soundtrack and an almost cyberpunk feel in certain parts. 9/10.

 

[Fletch]

Submarine Command (1951)

Overlooked and sensitively done naval drama. William Holden plays a sub XO racked with guilt at the loss of his skipper, whom he could have saved. The war ends and there's marriage and domestic tension with the always lovely Nancy Olson - then comes Korea. William Bendix is good as the requisite burly CPO who salutes the uniform but not the man.

 

[CopperNY]

"Man in the Vault"

nice little atmospheric B-movie crime flick from the 50's.

(on TCM)
