Cover of The Big Sleep Image via Wikipedia This week's pub quiz in the local Sunday paper had a round in it entitled 'Sleepy Heads' - either the question or the answer is connected to 'sleep' so that's quite helpful in this round. Question 6 was 'In which 1946 film did Humphrey Bogart play private eye Philip Marlowe?' The answer is of course 'The Big Sleep'. The Big Sleep was a Warner movie from 1946...

Yesterday’s Films, Today’s Issues: Hatari!

TakePart Social Action Network™ (Free subscription) | 11/06/2009

Going into Howard Hawks’ Hatari! at BAM this past Wednesday night I had a feeling I would like it. I mean the film’s description is kind of amazing: “John Wayne has never been better than as the leader of a pack of big-game hunters on the African plains who tackle rhinoceroses, elephants, and giraffes to sell to American zookeepers. Hawks’ late-career masterpiece is funny,...

There are exceptions, however. Armond White of the New York Press has [...]

This is Not Top Gun: Only Angels Have Wings

Fresh Visual (Free subscription) | 11/04/2009

Marginally less homoerotic than Top Gun and riddled with Samwise Gamgee style loyalty, Howard Hawks’ Only Angels Have Wings is a claustrophobic adventure obscured by a haze of cigarette smoke. Planes crash, women become hysterical and Cary Grant takes charges and slaps bitches. Honestly, revisiting the classics is fun.
