The Death of the Cool : Cool was once associated with reticence, savoir-faire, and irony, none of which is much practiced or regarded these days. (Robert McHenry, November 20, 2009, American) Who and what was cool? Cary Grant was cool, and of course Steve McQueen . Thelonious S. Monk (anybody remember when Time captioned a picture of him “Melodious Thunk”?) and Horace Silver, Fairfield...

Shadow of a Doubt (1943, USA) - Nice uncle Charlie comes to visit his small-town relatives. He brings large wads of cash, jewelry with other people's names on it, and a nihilistic philosophy of life. Watched it all. Thank Your Lucky Stars (1943, USA) - Self-congratulatory musical about Hollywood actors. Watched: 10 minutes, then fast-forwarded through the rest to see if it's also a patriotic war musical....

The Manchester man was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in jail for robbery and police officers used the occasion to warn people of entering a life of [...]

Possibly one of the best movies ever. Funny, glamorous, sad, a bit racy, great clothes, packed with adorable kids (I always thought the little blonde girl in the choir looked just like my little sister) and of course...you can't beat Cary Grant. Since it ends at Christmas, I think it should be an official holiday movie.

Oh no, you say-another one of those posts. I know some prefer the politi-bitters, or the theologic cambrianism. But again, Doug with the old movies full of actors who have been dead lately. According to the imdb, Alida Valli, pictured above with Joseph Cotton, passed from this world all the way back in 2006. Also according to imdb, she was in over 100 films-I just watched "The Third Man"...
