Boom Town (1940) |
https://thewhiternoise.wordpress.com/2009/10/14/boom-town-1940
October 14, 2009 at 10:54 am Posted in Film. So, I’m finally getting around to discussing this film, which I actually watched a couple of weeks ago. And, as expected, it did not disappoint! On a last note, I honestly bought this film to see some more Clark Gable yumminess, but instead ended up with a rejuvenated love for Spencer Tracy. My heart just broke for “Square John” throughout this film. Leave a Comment ». Feed for comments on this post. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. You are...

5 great films I saw in October. October 22, 2009 at 2:35 pm Posted in Film. 1 My Man Godfrey (1936). So, I finally got to watch this film after putting it on the back burner for so long. I have to say that something was definitely wrong with me for waiting so long – the film is hilarious! I’m going to definitely expand my commentary on this film some other time! 2 Kramer vs. Kramer (1979). I totally cried like a baby, at the end of the film. 3 Rose Marie (1936). 4 The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer (1947).

https://thewhiternoise.wordpress.com/favorite-actors
Ranking in a top-ten list turned out to be not only impossible, but also impractical, since there are just too many actors I love.

4 great films i saw in november. December 2, 2009 at 4:13 am Posted in Film. Again, first-viewings…. 1 Made For Each Other (1939). This was another typical sentimental drama, but I really enjoyed it.
