The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T.

Deliciously peculiar.

I've been known to add The Dungeon Song as an unofficial encore to my vocal recitals...

Molten lead, chopping blocks and hot, boiling oil,

Wealthy lawyer Newland Archer is engaged to sweet socialite May Welland in 1870s New York. On the surface, it is a perfect match.

Desperate Hours....





I was, at one time, a big fan of Anthony Hopkins but, as time moves on, his performances seem somewhat staid and formulaic.

Well, if that should come to Boston, a temptation it will be.

What a time to be destitute... But, l have a full belly, the weather is warm, and l am adjusting to life without Starbucks.

If you have a chance, and its not on your shelf already, try to track down a dvd copy of Crime Wave from 1954. Standard crime thriller from the era, but the key is the audio track featuring Eddie Muller and James Ellroy as they discuss the film and its venues. What makes this film extra special is that most (all?) is shot on location in L.A. area in 1952. The opening scene is a gas station on Skid Row and the scenes are filled with many retro locales.

Hoy there, Bogey!  Great to "see" ya! 

[Jaakko Keskinen]

Welcome back, Bogey!

[Bogey]

Thanks.  Always fun to reconnect with the great folks here.

Girl Missing....





The plot has just about enough to sustain continuous viewing.

Wonderful documentary!

Blood Money from 1933. One of Martin Scorcese's top 15 gangster movies that influenced his film making.  If you can track down a copy, worth a watch if you enjoy these early crime films.  Stars Judith Anderson that many of you know from Hitch's Rebecca.

[Bogey]

Also took in Smart Money from 1931.  This one is the only film that Robinson and Cagney did together the entire time they were both at Warner. Cagney was filming Public Enemy at the time,became also a big star and the rest is history while Robinson was trying to recapture his Little Caesar role with a soft heart angle in this film.  By the poster you would think that they both shared screen time equally,but Cagney was definitely a supporting cast member here.  Decent, but not great.

Over the past two evenings, I watched Hannah and Her Sisters.  With me, it seems to be something of a 50/50 chance, on first watching a Woody Allen movie, whether whatever my (for want of a better word) hangups are checked at the door, and I simply appreciate it at first, or if my critical knickers are in a subtle twist.  So, when I first saw this, I was left on the cool side.  Now, I'm over it, and I see that it is just as good as the Sarge and Ebert (and others) have said.

From 1959, a B titled I, Mobster.  The story of a young hood who tries to become #1 and.....well,you know the rest.  Been done hundreds of times, and this telling at a 6/10 IMO.
