MGM Studios has just released the trailer for Dog, a film that tells the story of an unlikely pair forced on a road trip together headed for a fellow soldier's funeral. They loathe each other; there is a definite lack of communication. Can they find a way to work together and and work things out? You might...
A new study has given the The Star Wars Holiday Special the unfortunate honor of being named as the most "boring" of all Christmas movies, TV shows, and specials. Conducted by Uswitch, the study analyzed IMDb reviews for negative phrases to reveal which titles people apparently liked the least. Perhaps it's not much of a shock to...
Monsters and Matinees: 8 horror films turning 80 Turning 80 is a big deal for anyone – or anything for that matter and that includes movies. We’ve lost thousands of films through the decades and never for a good reason. Some because they were shot on highly combustible nitrate film, others from neglect, because of old age...
Uncommon Ladies of Noir: Rhonda Fleming Rhonda Fleming was known as “The Queen of Technicolor.” As such, she’s not necessarily the first femme who comes to mind when you’re talking noir. With her titian locks, she was a standout in films like A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court (1949), Tropic Zone (1953), and Gunfight at the...

“B” Movie Western Sampler It’s time for my annual “B” Western sampler! In 2022 and 2023 I shared reviews of short “B” Westerns I watched while traveling. Once again my portable DVD player and “B” Western discs accompanied me on this year’s summer vacation, the only difference being that this year, instead of a road trip, I went on an Alaskan...
The Wild Frontier of “Inceville” “When the movies were young,” as the saying went, filmmakers’ heads were swimming with possibilities. Motion pictures cameras could take footage anywhere a tripod could rest, so why not take advantage of it? Outside the usual confines of the stage, anything was possible: immense battle scenes, staged floods and fires, sweeping landscape...
In a new interview, Spider-Man: No Way Home lead Tom Holland has offered some insight into the manic way that the MCU outing was developed, revealing that the movie's script was undergoing constant rewrites, even while filming. According to the actor, it took some time before all of the actors were confirmed to be involved, and, even...
Blithe Spirit (1945) Supernatural comedy is one of my favorite movie genres any time of year, but I’m especially drawn to it once the first Halloween decorations start to materialize. After a recent viewing of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947), I remembered that its leading man, Rex Harrison, also experiences a haunting from the other side...
