i can't make sense of the french translation of 'the maltese falcon.' here is what i have found: Le chat m'a donné un coup de griffe. The cat scratched me. well, i know 'jaune' means yellow. see what i mean? my mind is racing. yellow means coward! griffe means scratch! they discovered the falcon was a fake by scratching at it! still makes no sense. why not just call it 'the maltese falcon' and...

Being that the movie was shot well over a year ago, McTeigue is already well into development on his next project, called The Raven , which isn't in fact a literal adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's classic short story which spawned...

We've been to 1920's The Golem and the original 1925 Phantom of the Opera--that means Day 25 is silent film horror night! And since we've visited the Peter Lorre remake, Mad Love, we'll go to Conrad Veidt with the original 1924 Hands of Orlac (although it apparently never made it stateside until 1928). [...]

Finally a little Monster Soul. With this track I have no doubt it would have been a perfect bedrock for a little Sam Cooke style soul. I was almost amazed how solid this band is on this track. It's not quite as good as some of the guys Cooke had backing him, but its got some surprisingly solid session work here. Part of Don Hinson and the Rigormorticians. I'm a big fan of the horns and they really...

Mad Love is a 1935 horror movie directed by Karl Freund and starring Peter Lorre , Colin Clive and Ted Healy . I enjoy Peter Lorre. Dr. Gogol, played by Peter Lorre, quotes Elizabeth Barrett Browning : The face of all the world is changed, I think, Since first I heard the footsteps of thy soul... and “Guess now who holds thee!” — “Death,” I said. But, there, The silver...
