Smile Though Your Heart is Aching

by Melissa Uhrin

I look around me and everywhere I look I see the word (and its variations) LAUGH.

Heath Holland On...Dark Passage

by Heath Holland

As I slowly but surely make my way through Humphrey Bogart’s body of work, some movies stand out for different reasons. Bogie is associated with a ton of classic films, and even people who haven’t seen his most famous movies still likely recognize titles like Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Any film fan would be hard-pressed to hear those names without instantly having Bogart’s careworn face spring to mind.

Off the Shelf: Stranger at My Door / Pork Chop Hill (Blu-ray)

by Patrick Bromley

War and horses can be hell.

The Overlook: The Devil is a Sissy

by JB

Today we discuss an older film that is just the gosh-darnedest thing.

Marilyn.

I once dissected a song which led to falling in love with a movie star.

Heath Holland On...A Face in the Crowd

by Heath Holland

Sometimes movies have even more to say in the years after they were made than they did when they were new.

Heath Holland On...Influencing Indiana: Gunga Din

by Heath Holland

George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have always been very clear that the character of Indiana Jones was rooted in the adventure films and serials of their childhood and that they were paying tribute to their matinee heroes by creating a new one of their own. From time to time, I’ll take a look at those silver-screen adventures from the 1930s through the 1950s, both classic and forgotten, as we delve into the stories that influenced Indy. This week, Cary Grant stars in George Stevens’ 1939 classic, Gunga Din.

Heath Holland On...Robert Mitchum

by Heath Holland

I think Robert Mitchum is totally bitch-um.

by JB

Cinemark Theaters and AMC Theaters are once again trotting out a classic film series this summer. Last week, I attended a screening of Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece The Godfather. Have you seen it? It’s very good.

Drunk on Foolish Pleasures: The Maltese Falcon

by JB

Is John Huston’s 1941 version of The Maltese Falcon the first film noir?

Drunk on Foolish Pleasures: City That Never Sleeps

This week we take a look at an obscure film noir that peers into the dark heart of a big city and the tangled lives of the people (and one rabbit) who live there.

Heath Holland On...Hollywood's Heroes: Humphrey Bogart

In this inaugural edition of Hollywood’s Heroes, we’re taking a look at one of classic cinema’s most prolific and influential stars: Bogie.

Heath Holland On...100 Years of Chaplin

This week I’m celebrating the life and career of the Little Tramp on the 100th anniversary of his first appearance.

Unsung!: Dracula's Daughter

by JB

As a hidden gem of the now-classic 1930s Universal Monsters cycle, this film really is unsung -- not many people realize how great (some of) it is.  But Dracula’s Daughter is also completely sung for a different reason that is really nothing to sing about. So, the film is, in one sense, “some-sung”… or semi-sung. But on the other hand, it is over-sung, and still singing that same old song. Okay, now that I have cleared THAT up...
