The Thin Man The Brown Deer Police said the man stole an undetermined amount of money from a U.S. Bank branch office at 4200 W. Brown Deer Road about 9:20 a.m. He handed a note to a teller, demanded money and fled. Anyone with information is asked to call Brown … see more .

Is it fair to compare a young, second time film maker with one of cinema's all time greats? No, of course it's not. But if Thomas Ikimi's ultra low budget debut Limbo wasn't enough to convince you that he has aspersions towards making the same sort of high concept thrillers that made Hitchcock famous, well, a quartet of concept posters for his sophomore effort are here to make that point clear. Titled...

... for three weeks this summer (and San Diego for a further week) I've decided to bear a nice pair of Jimmy-Stewart-in-Rear-Window pyjamas from brooks brothers and maybe a bespoke suit. I DOUBT I can afford it but it would be nice to try. I can't exactly get a job to pay for it. Hmmm... Off down the pub tonight with Inman for a catch-up, then London tomorrow for an English study day....

... Shatner [ NYP ] "Tobey has a real everyman quality — he’s like an electric Jimmy Stewart. He appears like a swan on the surface, and the audience likes him and trusts him. But there’s a real [expletive] edge to him as well. In close-up, you can tell there’s a lot going on in his head, but he’s a bit of a poker player because you’re not exactly...

... way that really lets his performance take off. The trial scene reaches for the everyman heights of Jimmy Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington but falls frustratingly short. Conclusion Despite a great core and solid acting, lazy direction holds things back. Ultimately, Flash Of Genius feels like a somber copy of the much more uplifting Tucker: The Man And His Dream . Check that...

I'm sure many of you have step-fathers, so help me out here. I have this theory that at least 65 percent of all step-fathers are bearded and do bad impressions, and by bad impressions, I mean bad impressions of actors that nearly everyone already does 100 times better: Nicholson, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, etc. My step-father, of course, specialized in his impression of Yogi Bear, a character...

... Ohio, here for the day on business. Earlier Carter, 30, posed for a picture with the statue of Jimmy Stewart, Indiana's hometown everyman. Carter thinks places like Indiana or his hometown of Dayton are overlooked by the White House and Congress, but "that is okay with me. We thrive in spite of government's lack of attention to our concerns, not fail." His sentiment was...

... speeches, and zen-like koans — all in a warming, caressing tone of voice that would make Jimmy Stewart weep. Who cares that Cora is fragile, aging, and fading in the field? Why does it matter that his offense is below mediocre? What’s the big deal that there are younger, more athletic, and more rounded utilitymen available for one-third the price? This guy MIGHT BE A MANAGER someday!!!!...

... about a deluxe reissue of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation — it has the look and feel of a Jimmy Stewart classic in comparison. At its best, Four Christmases is maybe half as good as Christmas Vacation , but it has a couple of things going for it: First, Tim Allen is nowhere to be found, and second, seeing Vince Vaughn abused never gets old. I don’t have anything against Vaughn...

There are just some cars that make you feel better looking when you drive them and the Audi TT convertible is one of those cars. Top down with your arm hanging over the door makes you feel debonair like a mid-1950s Jimmy Stewart or beautiful like Grace Kelly during the same era. The Audi TT is just full of feel good vibes. But this car isnt all...

During his Hollywood golden years, Alfred Hitchcock released The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) with Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day. This was actually his second time around the block with the film. Before Hitchcock came to America, he directed another version of the movie with Peter Lorre, and you can catch this 1934 [...]

A: Before we get to training, keep in mind what the great film actor, Jimmy Stewart said when asked if his dogs were trained. "The difference between 'trained OK' and 'trained perfectly' doesn't really matter all that much to me. I once did a film with Lassie. When that dog got excited he jumped all over Rudd Weatherwax (Lassie's trainer). Now that's the smartest dog in the world. If...
