One thing many cinephiles and average movie goers alike rail against is "the happy ending." As in the Happy Ending of cliched legend, where everyone lives happily ever after and reality is thrown out the window. Of course happy endings have their place, but the thing is, while people rail ...

As always, here's the bonus round. This time I left the sound in (in fact, why take it out unless there's a musical cue or name spoken that might give it away) because the actor mumbles to himself throughout. With the sound muted, it looked like there was dialogue there that might help and I ...

Okay, the new clip is up in the sidebar. As always, double-click to view it larger on YouTube. And in what is becoming the norm around here, it's a race to see who can name it before resident Name That Movie expert Arbogast of Arbogast on Film . He leads with four points (first one to ten ...

And to start the Holiday Season off right I make you offer. This is an opening, a grand opening, that happened almost exactly eighty years ago. It took place on December 8th, 1928. Present were three top actresses of the day. One of them was a star, a huge star, and she's front and center ...

On October 25th my wife and I took in Strangers on a Train at the AFI Silver in Silver Spring, Maryland. It was a great experience to see it on the big screen for the first time after having seen it so many times on the small screen exclusively. Once again it was a wonderful audience who ...

Pictured above: Jimmy Stewart and Jeanette MacDonald in Rose Marie (1936), a scant two years before Stewart became a bankable leading man with Frank Capra's You Can't Take it With You . Next up is Conquest (1937) with Greta Garbo and Charles Boyer, directed by the under-appreciated ...

Number five is up. Have at it. Remember to double-click to go directly to YouTube to view the clip in a larger format. Good luck. And again, if it's correctly guessed quickly a bonus round will go up a little later.

As Life Magazine and Google throw a curve ball into the mix with all, yes, all of Life Magazines photos now up online. Of course the wonderful efforts of all those contributors who submit scans to Doctro Macro , and folks like me who do their own scans, aren't really in danger of extinction ...

Back in 1934 Player and Sons Cigarettes, based in England, started producing Movie Star Collector's Cards with their cigarettes, kind of a baseball card in the bubblegum pack idea for smokers. Smoking had been a man's game for decades with women "catching up" in this slow death pastime by ...

Children are great at parroting their peers and parents. Over time their views are challenged, they realize they can't defend them since they have simply been parroting and they begin to develop critical thinking. It's essential to their development. It's also fun to watch. Our 14 year old ...

The last one was pegged by Pierre Fournier of the excellent and exhaustive Frankensteinia blog . We've got several people with one point but still none with two. So here's a bonus round. If Kimberly or Arbogast make it here before too long I'm betting they'll get it. Bill might know this ...

The new one is up in the sidebar. This one is a little harder than last week's which was guessed almost immediately after posting. I hope this one lasts a little longer. And I may starting putting an extra one or two up during the week so after two months we don't have twelve different ...

I was recently asked to share my Netflix queue by a friend and accepted, eager to expose just how many great films I didn't have on DVD. Obviously, if I had them I wouldn't be renting them. Also, I wanted to see how much soft porn my friend was renting. Alas, there was none. Still, ...

So this week has been a bear, as they say. I've been working hard to finish stuff up at my place of gainful employment before hitting the road for business. Ugh. So later today I will be in transit and then for the next three days I will be, let's be honest here, BORED OUT OF MY MIND! And ...

Problems with plumbing in the basement, a broken cell phone that's going to take money out of my pocket with the holidays approaching and a business trip coming up this week that I have no desire whatsoever to participate in. And I've got to get a ton done at work on Monday before I leave ...

Okay, the new clip is up in the sidebar. My wife got this one in under five seconds. Of course, this is her favorite period of films to watch so that was no surprise. Still, to a classic film lover I think this one's pretty easy. Even if you haven't seen it you might be able to put it ...

Many years ago I saw a play in Washington, D.C. about three people, Joseph Meggesy (Megs), David Flanagan and his sister Martha Flanagan. The title of this play about Vietnam vets struggling to put the past behind them was Strange Snow . That's a title I've always liked, alluding to a trout ...

I apologize for the fluctuating templates here today as I updated mine. I got tired of the crowded sidebar and had never thought of adding buttons along the top instead until I saw Rick Olson's redesign. So that's done now and the links to everyone on the blogroll will be added back in later ...
