Pain and Gain. A very entertaining sort of dark comedy/drama/ action flick based upon true events. The sheer dimwittedness of the main characters and the fact that 3 dumb stooges like them could pull off the caper they pulled for as long as they did was amazing.

"Godzilla" - C-Minus - Loving the Japanese original (sans Raymond Burr) mere words cannot express my utter and complete disappointment in this latest iteration of the "King of the Monsters". The producers took two lamentable trends in current movies superheros and "man saves his family against all odds while the chite hits the fan for everyone else" and grafted them together to produce a wholly distasteful mish mash. They turn Godzilla into a superhero in a forced clumsy fashion while the "man saves family" backstory is as uninteresting as it is unnecessary. Basterds... they got me again!

Yes, I thought the same thing. And it makes no sense as "Petrified Forest" was five years prior and "Maltese Falcon" wasn't a low budget picture nor was Bogey not a star at that point. Very odd. (Notice my triple negative - off to grammar jail for me.)

I could be wrong but I think it is actually his character in "High Sierra" Roy Earle. Hair style looks the same and he uses .45 automatics in that picture. It was released just 10 months prior to "Maltese Falcon" and Bogart was also the "star" (second billed behind Ida Lupino!)

I just looked and I think you are correct. Still odd choice since it is a distinctive hair style and doesn't match the look or feel of "The Maltese Falcon."

You expected more? That was your first mistake. :p

You are right, it is an odd choice. Seems they could have used a still from "Maltese Falcon" but maybe the studio figured since it was at least a picture of Humphrey Bogart accuracy was not a big deal. Or maybe the gangster imagery would attract more movie goers?

The Big Sleep, for about the 30th time. I have both the 1944 and 1946 versions and love them equally.

I often watch/listen to this movie on the DVD player in my car. Since I know it so well there's no need to divert my eyes from the road to keep up with what's going on. There are several film noirs I do this with.

Twilight, the rifftrax version. (yes I've seen it before)
The movie sucks but the jokes are spot on.
This is by far the best effort Rifftrax has put out. :eusa_clap

For several years I'd heard about the plot of the theatrical version being incomprehensible due to the changes made (to play up on the Bacall/Bogart chemistry). I finally saw it for the first time last year (the restored original version) and enjoyed it tremendously; more so, in fact, than The Maltese Falcon. I subsequently bought the DVD which contains both versions, and watched the theatrical version. I didn't find the story difficult to follow, but that may have been because I'd seen the original version first. Regardless, it immediately became one of my favorite movies and created a desire to see more of Bogart's work.

Without any intention to watch a movie last night, I came across A Shriek in the Night on TV.
It's funny mix of crime, mystery and comedy, featuring Ginger Rogers in her earlier roles.
Synopsis:
"Pat Morgan and Ted Kord are rival newspaper reporters always trying to outscoop each other. They join together to solve a series of murders being committed in an apartment building."

As a matter of fact, you can watch full movie for free (legally!) on the Archive.org
