‘Rain Man’ Steps on Stage
Screenhead (Free subscription) | 07/02/2008
I find it very interesting that stage productions of movies show popularity, such as All About My Mother, Brief Encounter, Terms of Endearment and the Disney films. Now, Rain Man is debuting at London’s West End with performances later this summer. Josh Hartnett is set to play Tom Cruise’s character, a narcissistic car dealer. Adam [...]

Vincent Minnelli: The Band Wagon
Dispatches from Zembla (Free subscription) | 06/29/2008
A major gap in my film history education so far has been my relative unfamiliarity with American movie musicals. I also feel somewhat reluctant to do anything about it since I am not particularly fond of this genre. Recent death of one of the great stars of MGM musicals Cyd Charisse and reading all the eulogies prompted me to see the classic 1953 musical The Band Wagon by Vincent Minnelli. (An appreciation...

Singin' in the Rain (Part Two)
Inveresk Street Ingrate (Free subscription) | 06/28/2008
Singin' in the Rain has to be one of my favourite films of all time. Definitely in my top ten, and it was on TCM tonight as part of a mini tribute to Cyd Charisse . Of course, two minutes after the film ended I immdeiately thought of the classic Morecambe and Wise clip. I'm shallow like that. "arsenal . . . . ARSENAL."

Cyd Charisse night on Turner Classics
NotBillable (Free subscription) | 06/28/2008
I always thought she was at least 6 feet tall. With those legs ? Had to be. But then I saw her once in person and was shocked to see she was probably 6 inches shorter than that and not so curvy but slender. So let's watch Singin' in the Rain. And adjust our impressions of Gene Kelly accordingly. Also, this is probably my favorite Cyd Charisse photo .

Cyd Charisse Passes
Daily Burlesque (Free subscription) | 06/26/2008
Click the immage above to read about Cyd Charisse at lovegoddess.com. If anybody ever set a standard for the way a glamourous dancer should walk across the stage, it was Cyd Charisse. I first became really conscious of Cyd Charisse when I was in high school because my best friend's mother, Carol Richards, did Cyd's vocals in Brigadoon, and then my best friend performed in our school's production of...

TV Watch: 'So You Think You Can Dance' recap: Lessons
Entertainment Weekly (Free subscription) | 06/26/2008
We learned about the ''hidden'' talents/quirks/tattoos of the dancers during last night's , but, oh, did we learn so much more than that. We learned that some 40 years ago Nigel once lifted the late dancing legend Cyd Charisse. We learned that guest judge Adam Shankman can exceed Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy both in insight and in borderline obnoxiousness. We learned that no one, ever, will be able...
