http://princeplanetmovies.blogspot.com/2015/05/indestructible-man-1956.html
Horror, sci-fi, exploitation, erotica, B-movies, art-house films. Vampires, sex, monsters, all the fun stuff. Friday, 22 May 2015. Is one of those low-budget 1950s science fiction potboilers that turns out to be a whole lot better than you might expect. Butcher is executed but his story is not over yet. Scientist Professor Bradshaw is working on some advanced medical research and he needs corpses. His assistant manages to get hold of a nice fresh corpse for him - the corpse of Butcher Benton! Butcher is ...

http://thepassionatemoviegoer.blogspot.com/2009/05/best-damn-musical-first-50-years-of.html
Thursday, May 21, 2009. The Best Damn Musical! The First Fifty Years of the Fabulous "Gypsy." In Eight Parts. Jack Klugman, The Merm and Sandra Chruch, as immortalized the the singular Al Hirshcfeld, in the original production of Styne-Sondheim's "Gypsy". The New York Times theatre critic Brooks Atkinson,. Miss Merman, of course, is the legendary Ethel. Kerr would rave about it in a subsequent Sunday piece. She was overwhelming. A real presence on stage. And loud. But even as a kid, I was discerning and ...

the passionate moviegoer: façade: steve m. & steve c.

Friday, July 24, 2015. Façade: steve m. and steve c. 169; 2015 Jim Ruymen/UPI. Steve Carell and his wife Nancy at the American Film Institute's 43rd Life Achievement Award tribute to Steve Martin at the Dolby Theatre on June 4, 2015. I call them The Two Steves. Steve Martin and Steve Carell. Ah, yes, Steve Martin in the 1980s-early '90s. Mr. Reliable. One of the few reasons to go to a movie a couple decades ago. His subsequent choices have been interesting - "Dan in Real Life" . "Date Night" . "D...Carel...

the passionate moviegoer: greatness, fifty years ago
http://thepassionatemoviegoer.blogspot.com/2012/09/greatness-fifty-years-later.html
Thursday, September 20, 2012. Greatness, fifty years ago. David Lean's "Lawrence of Arabia": '62's Crown Jewel. The good people at Turner Classic Movies - bless 'em - have set aside tomorrow's morning/afternoon programming for a mini-tribute to my favorite movie year. That would be the incredible 1962 which, 50 years ago, produced a treasure trove of compulsively watchable films. The day kicks off at 6 am (est) with Richard Brooks' splendid film of Tennessee Williams' "Sweet Bird of Youth,". Wrote his fa...

the passionate moviegoer: the last movie star
http://thepassionatemoviegoer.blogspot.com/2011/03/last-movie-star.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. The last movie star. She's with Richard now. Her beloved Richard. And with Mike and Monty and Roddy and Rock and Jimmy. Elizabeth Taylor, second only to Mickey Rooney in terms of having the capacity to hang around seemingly. Close to being "family.". Elizabeth Taylor was - is - The Last Movie Star, certainly the last representative of the Golden Age of Movies. In her, we saw a blend of the theatrical and the real (she was never outright. She had been a powerful presence on scre...

the passionate moviegoer: an education in willful denial
http://thepassionatemoviegoer.blogspot.com/2009/10/peter-sarsgaard-channels-alan-bates.html
Friday, October 16, 2009. An education in willful denial. The first impression made by Lone Scherfig's "An Education" is that it is a deft throwback to Britain's serious comedies from its Carnaby St. era - you know, Silvio Narizzano's "Georgy Girl" (1966) and Desmond Davis' "Smashing Time" (1967) - with Peter Sarsgaard doing a light, uncanny riff on the irresistible cad/rascal/scamp (pick your own word) that the late Alan Bates routinely played during that period. Initially, it's fine. For the mention in...

the passionate moviegoer: indelible moment: "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"
http://thepassionatemoviegoer.blogspot.com/2015/06/indelible-moment-gentlemen-prefer.html
Sunday, June 28, 2015. Indelible moment: "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes". Howard Hawks' "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (1953) is a musical comedy with the accent on comedy, thanks largely to the skills of Marilyn Monroe, Charles Coburn and the child actor George "Foghorn" Winslow. Oh, Mr Spofford. Would you please give me a hand? I'm sort of stuck! Are you a burglar? The steward locked me in. I was waiting for a friend.". Why didn't you ring for him? I didn't think of it. Isn't that silly? This unusual, memorable...

the passionate moviegoer: cinema obscura: Ossie Davis' "Black Girl" (1972)
http://thepassionatemoviegoer.blogspot.com/2010/03/cinema-obscura-ossie-davis-black-girl.html
Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Cinema obscura: Ossie Davis' "Black Girl" (1972). In 1966, the great Senegalese director Ousmane Sembene made his first feature-length film, "La Noire de." - better known in America as "Black Girl" - a powerful social drama about a young African girl demoralized and driven to thoughts of suicide when her job as a maid for a French family relegates her to slave status. You can't say enough about this film. It's become more precious since Sembene died last June. To Brenda. I be...
