In the run-up to Turner Classic Movies' 100th-birthday salute to Robert Ryan on Wednesday, November 11th, TCM's Movie Morlocks are hosting a Robert Ryan blogathon. So get your rugged asses over there. Whenever I think of Ryan, I first picture his anger, resignation, and lean doggedness in Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, wishing he were riding with William Holden's crew than with the mangy lot of scavenging...

The Devil's Rain is a 1975 horror film with William Shatner , John Travolta , Ernest Borgnine , Eddie Albert , Tom Skerritt , Ida Lupino , Keenan Wynn and Anton LaVey . Now, there's a varied cast list! Youtube has this online in parts that should autplay from here: The New York Times has nothing good to say: ""The Devil's Rain" is ostensibly a horror film, but it barely manages to be...
Self-Styled Siren (Free subscription) | 11/10/2009
Since the Siren recently dissed another Ida Lupino movie in a big way, it is only fair that she make amends and write up the lovable, unclassifiable The Man I Love . The Siren has no idea what Warner Brothers, via the great Raoul Walsh, was trying to make here--it's noir, it's a musical, it's a women's picture and a romantic melodrama, with bits of The Best Years of Our Lives and Casablanca . Given...

For anybody who thinks "movie music" is inherently lightweight stuff, they need to listen to Bernard Herrmann -or Elmer Bernstein, Alex North, Max Steiner, and others. Here's Hermann's exciting, frightening cue The Death Hunt, from 1952's "On Dangerous Ground". As good as the others mentioned were, Herrmann was the best-no wonder Hitchcock used him so often. "On Dangerous Ground"...

Ever see a movie that was bad, that announced itself as bad from the opening moments and never really got any better, and yet you could not bring yourself to miss a single moment? Such was the Siren's reaction to Devotion , the Brontë Old Dark Moors fantasia that TCM showed last week on a double bill with Wyler's beloved Wuthering Heights . Devotion is a survey course in everything that ever goes...

Obviously I opted to do something a little bit different this time around. Also obvious is the fact that I skimmed over a lot, and I didn't really "review" the movie much per se. Then again, I did draw an eyeless Ida Lupino, so that must be worth something! I also just realized I forgot to use my "Private Club of The Satan's Helpers" joke. Dammit! Oh well. Next time...I'm sure...

By Jesus Robles It wasn't that long ago that a trip to the corner video shop was the most convenient way to get a movie. Instead of buying or renting the dvd, people now can choose a movie download instead. You can get virtually any movie you want with a good movie download site. Here are some example films. Madagascar: A fun animated family comedy. When Marty the zebra decides he wants to see the...

Go away. Why won't you go? What is it that holds you to the spot? Besides gravity, I mean. What keeps you from traipsing back down the mountainside? Oh, of course, you came here for something only I can offer you. It surely can't be my scintillating conversation, as I've been practicing not scintillating, and, if I must say, I'm getting very good at lacking twinkle. So, why are you still here? Ah,...

The annual Summer Under the Stars festival starts today on Turner Classic Movies. TCM has added even more visually stunning new film posters to the set first described here a couple weeks ago. Click the title of this post to visit TCM's Summer Under the Stars page and take a look. I particularly adore the poster of Ida Lupino sprawled in front of a truck for THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT and the spin on SLEEPLESS...
