If you live in L.A., read this blog, and don’t know about American Cinematheque, well honestly, you probably don’t exist, but if you do! Check them out because they have a lot of (some) cool programs and some REALLY cool ones. Last year I went to a screening of The Dark Knight with a Q&A [...]

A funny and wacky Billy Wilder sex comedy, Kiss Me, Stupid was a surprisingly filthy choice for me to watch on my last sick (hangover) day.
Dean Martin throws himself into his drunk and shockingly horny persona as lounge singer Dino who ends up stranded in Climax, Nevada on his way home from Vegas. But [...]

So, this should probably be called “buzzed review” because I’m not really *drunk* – but that’s getting pretty technical, so whatever.
The Last Picture Show is really beautiful – not just the cinematography which is clean and expressive, but the story and the characters are really made beautiful by their flaws.
There are also lots of boobs.
Something [...]

Just in time for the Thanksgiving, Holiday Inn, the best instance of Bing Crosby in blackface you can get on digitally remastered DVD!
No, but seriously, this movie is kind of adorable (blackface aside). Jim (Crosby), Ted (Fred Astaire - who’s IMDB url is 0000001! cool! And who is also, turns out, an awesome dancer!) and Lila [...]

La Piscine: En francais. Nudité. Sexe. Meurtre. Alain Delon. Amusement pour la famille entière.
Joy House: In English. More Alain Delon. Jane Fonda is crazy and super horny. Some seriously funny parts.
Jane Fonda to Alain Delon: I like you cause you’re poor! I’m poor too!

Since the title Sophie’s Choice has actually become its own cliche to describe a really difficult choice, I figured I should probably actually watch this movie. Here’s what it taught me:
Meryl Streep is not only a really super great actress, she also is really gorgeous. And really good at Polish accents.
The Holocaust was really shitty.
Peter MacNicol [...]

I wonder, has anyone asked Lindsey Lohan what she thinks of Owen Wilson?
Honestly, Up in Smoke was kind of boring. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the decades of stoner comedies that have come since 1978 but I was just not excited by this movie.
So, “Man” (that’s his character’s name(even though IMDb says his name [...]

Boy is this poster misleading…
I once read a quote about Audrey Hepburn that said something like “She’s a woman that every woman wants to be like and every man forgets about.” I don’t know who said it and I couldn’t find in anywhere, but I am very curious as to the context of it [...]
