Here are emails I mostly agree with: The Bogart "The Maltese Falcon" was the THIRD version of that story put on film and undoubtedly the best. Also, the 1973 Richard Lester version of "The Three Musketeers" was not the first by a couple and in my opinion, clearly the best as well. I think the best chance of a good remake is when it is based on a classic book or novel rather than...

When Barry Orton listed both his Ten Best and Ten Worst baseball movies he omitted Damn Yankees which merits special recognition. The film features the torrid Gwen Verdon singing "What Lola Wants, Lola Gets." a horrid cameo role by the detestable Mickey Mantel, an inspired performance from Ray Walston, and a forgettable performance by Tab Hunter. Most importantly this favorably reviewed film...

Here in Austin, the Billy Wilder movie Kiss Me, Stupid is playing tonight as part of a series about Wilder's later films, and I suspect I am driving people crazy, trying to convince them to see it with me. I may have scared a local filmmaker at a screening of Wilder's One, Two, Three a couple of weeks ago, urging the poor man -- whom I hardly know -- to return for this film. Kiss Me, Stupid is often...

Just like the Emmy Awards' drama series champ "Mad Men," both of last year's drama series lead acting winners repeated for the second seasons of their shows – Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad") and Glenn Close ("Damages"). However, the supporting winners on the drama series side were new to the Emmy Awards stage this year. Michael Emerson prevailed on his third consecutive...

And for those of you who love spotting little continuity errors in movies, Buzz Dixon notes how Ray Walston's shirt buttons and unbuttons itself in the clip I posted earlier. Must be the beginning of Mr. Walston's Martian powers...or maybe...

I failed once again in my effort to get The Husband and The Daughter to agree to an Ingmar Bergman film. They refused. The Daughter has never seen a Bergman film, and The Husband has only seen one. I'm just giving it up. From now on I'll find a time when The Younger Son and I can watch the foreign films. But, for me, tonight kills Family Movie Night. I'll watch whatever they pick, of course, but it's...

Our Emmy guru and forums moderator Chris "Boomer" Beachum is out to disprove the widespread belief that the Emmys reward the same winners all the time. They get that reputation because of returning faves, mostly in the comedy races — Helen Hunt ("Mad About You") and John Larroquette ("Night Court"). Now let's pass off to Boomer for further commentary. The drama supporting...

Damn Yankees isn't one of my favorite musicals. I like it, but I don't love it. Its wonderful song, "Heart", did make my list of the Top 200 Show Tunes , but the show has never excited me all that much. However, when I was recently researching a post about Tab Hunter , I stumbled upon three YouTube videos of a 1967 television production starring the lovely Lee Remick as Lola and, of course,...

Watching George Melford’s THE SHEIK, which doesn’t seem to really get much love these days. Valentino in a ghutra is an iconic image, but the film itself is not watched. THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE gets a lot more respect, being the work of a recognised auteur, the Irish maverick Rex Ingram, and being [...]
