Last night I watched a double feature that turned out quite well: Paprika (2006) and The Gang’s All Here (1943). Paprika is an intriguing science-fiction anime with a good plot and good characters. Really quite remarkable and well worth seeing. The Gang’s All Here is the quintessential Busby Berkeley musical: he directed, it’s in Technicolor, and he [...]

Fox released a Betty Grable collection on DVD, and it didn't do well enough for them to release a second set (so far), but they have announced The Alice Faye Collection, Volume 2 , with "Hollywood Cavalcade," "Rose of Washington Square" (aka "Please Don't Sue Us, Fanny Brice"), "The Great American Broadcast," "Hello, Frisco, Hello," and the USO tribute "Four Jills in a Jeep" (which doesn't actually...

The set includes three Robert Taylor Westerns, which is cause enough for me to buy it, but the movies also feature Richard Widmark, William Holden,...
