360 Screenings Ticket Giveaway
I’m super excited to say that Pretty Clever Films has 2 tickets to giveaway to the Saturday, June 1st, 7 pm performance of the next 360 Screenings! That’s all I can tell you, of course, as location and film remain a mystery ’til the screening. But I’m pretty sure it will be worth it! All [...]
360 Screenings Meld Cinema, Theater and Mystery
Look, I love movies – we all do. But the typical movie experience requires really only one thing – you watch. The world is full of solutions to this state of affairs, answers to our desires to discuss and share the cinema experience. From film clubs and meetups to cinema magazines and film blogs, it [...]
Laura’s Miscellaneous Musings
Laura’s Miscellaneous Musings has been around for awhile, and maybe you all already know about it. But still… how can I pass up highlighting an awesome movie blog about classic films? From the recent coverage of the Turner Classic Movies Film Festival, to updates about the latest classic film releases for home theater, to just [...]
The 1st Academy Awards
The 1st Academy Awards was held on May 16, 1929. It was a very different awards show from the billion hour, all singing-all dancing industry self-love fest we know today. The very first Academy Awards ceremony was held as a private banquet in the Blossom Room of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Douglas Fairbanks was the host. I’m [...]
I Liked That Film
I watch a film and then write some words about it. That’s the unpretentious mission statement of I Liked That Film. And that’s exactly what this nifty littel site is – Richard from Manchester watches a film and then posits an opinion. Part of the fun of watching very old movies for me is watching a medium evolve. Richard [...]
10 Things About the Wizard of Oz
The Wizard of Oz is a classic of American cinema and a favorite of cinephiles, children, and Pink Floyd fans the world over. Really, we could just look at stills from the movie all day, but if we include 10 things about The Wizard of Oz, it has a patina of education. Enjoy! The song [...]
Top 5 Movies Ruined by Joseph Cotten
I hate Joseph Cotten. Sure, I know what you’re thinking – Joseph Cotten is pretty innocuous. Precisely! Since when is it okay for a screen actor to be innocuous? I think he’s a vacuum of screen presence. Sometimes, I can take him small doses, in a supporting role, but as a lead – no way! I’ve made exceptions to the my [...]
Bonjour Tristesse
Bonjour Tristesse is a slick little site dedicated to foreign, independent and cult cinema. The stated goal: “In the hopes of encouraging others to explore a film they’ve never seen, or revisit one that they adore again.” Hell to the yeah, I think we can all get behind that. There is just a ton of [...]
Watch It: Miss Fatty’s Seaside Lovers (1915)
Miss Fatty’s Seaside Lovers was released on May 15, 1915 but you can watch it right now. Miss Fatty’s Seaside Lovers features a lot of Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle and a little bit of Harold Lloyd. I give it four stars for that fact alone and one more for Fatty in drag. Direction: Roscoe “Fatty” [...]
Charlie’s London
If you like Charlie Chaplin – and I know you do! – you’re gonna love Charlie’s London. It’s all Chaplin, all the time on this site: “This blog is dedicated to the greatest South Londoner that ever walked the streets of SE11, Sir Charlie Chaplin KBE! Welcome home Charlie! It’s nice to have you back.” Indeed. [...]
