They Won't Believe must be TCM's new run it 'til they can't stand it anymore film - it's repeated in August and again in September. Here are some more not on DVD films worth catching up with on TCM: (All times Eastern) 6/4 9 A.M. - The Divine Lady (1929) - Frank Lloyd's first Oscar for best directo...

Who Is Harry Kellerman is available on VHS. I'm surprised that Sister Kenny's name and reputation aren't more widely known, but then I suppose the Salk vaccine wiped out the fear of polio rendering her treatments for people already afflicted with it as somewhat passe. I re-watched Night Must Fall r...

What utter nonsense. None of us here have lived through the 1938 to 1949 period, and only a few of us have lived during a portion of it. Anyway, I never said everyone should participate in extending the game just those who have seen enough films from prenatal years to be familiar enough with those ...

Hopefully you got to see Sister Kenny before it was deleted. One of the best biographical dramas of the 40s with a wonderful performance by Roz as the crusading Australian nurse. I believe Roz's earlier Oscar nominee, My Sister Eileen, was also on TCM this month. Right now they're showing A Majorit...

My favorite thing about these parlor games is that they're structured so that people of varying cinematic interests and experiences are welcomed to play. That's why I lean away from any rule changes that make the circle of participation smaller, even for only a portion of the game. I'm through advo...

No, I did.

You know this is very discouraging. In years like 1949 and 1938 before this, when there are so many great films to choose from the participation is very low, yet when we have recent years in which most of what is being produced is pure crap we have a full slate of nominees. Of course there's a very...

**Sony** has announced a September 23rd release date for Affair in Trinidad (1952) and The Garment Jungle (1957). No additional details yet, but each DVD will retail for $19.94. Affair in Trinidad (1952) A murder investigation sparks a passionate affair between a dancer and her new found love. Affa...

If I remember correctly in the second round we have 1 choice per group. Since we went into the second round with left 16 slots left in Group 1, 20 in Group 2 and 13 in Group 3 so we can continue with two picks in Group 2 on the first four plays - you, Jack, rudeboy and DWS) in order to even this th...

"The burning flag, the nationalist-radical and Islamic outfits, the fist-bump, the portrait on the wall? All of them echo one attack or another. Satire is part of what we do, and it is meant to bring things out into the open, to hold up a mirror to prejudice, the hateful, and the absurd. And t...

This is what Anonymous has been working on. It's a little snarly of Warner Bros. to include as a bonus disc only available with the collection what is probably the best known title among these films, Blossoms in the Dust, but if gets people to look at the other three it's a brilliant marketing ploy...
