Film Friday | Weekly Roundup

Could it be that Pretty Clever Film Gal is nursing another cold, waking up all sneezy, and stuffy, and scratchy? I’ve already put in the cold-time this season, so I call bull on that. Fortunately, it’s Friday which means I have a couple of days of rest, fluids, and nourishing movies ahead of me. A black and white movie is just what the doctor ordered. And, since it’s Friday, it’s also time for the Weekly Roundup where I scour the best of the interwebs so you don’t have to. Happy reading and happy viewing!

• “Movies and Madness,” a random report from Manila
• The Movie Morlocks examines the strange case of Louis LePrince

• 9 out of 9 baby… take the Alfred Hitchcock cameo quiz from Mental Floss
• Sergio Leone and the Infield Fly Rule hosts the 2nd annual SLIFR Movie Tree House. Start here.
• Gene’s at it again on 11 East 14th Street with “Pickford & Griffith: The Clash of Film’s First Great Egos“
