paul carruthers Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I was very disappointed with Bud and Lou's last movie, but at least I can say I've seen everything they've done, including their legendary TV show.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 My favourite part of "Assault on Precinct 13". Kim Richards (the little girl from "The Nanny & the Professor" TV show) gets the John Carpenter treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And tonight...an IB Technicolor print of Howard Hawks' "Rio Bravo" and an early John Carpenter. Like Napoleon Dynamite says: LUCKY!!!!!

Clint gave him the quick drop treatment. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The past week at the cinema... Takashi Shimura retrospective continued with "Osaka Elegy", "Godzilla Raids Again", and "The Hidden Fortress" (a major inspiration to George Lucas and "Star Wars"). "Messiah of Evil"...from the people who brought you "American Graffiti", "Star Wars", "Raiders of the Lost Ark"...and "Howard the Duck". Used as sight gag in "Annie Hall". You'll never look at Ralph's supermarkets the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal Dano (no relation to Paul Dano) was always a welcome sight and his credits are very extensive in film and television. Elisha Cook, Jr. was well known for many noir appearances, especially in the two Humphrey Bogart films "The Maltese Falcon" and "The Big Sleep", and his manic performance as a drummer in "Phantom Lady". Marianna Hill was in not one, but two Elvis movies. Then, there is the always playful Joy Bang...yes, that was her real married name. A classic hippie-girl type of the late-60s and early-70s. She was also in "Cisco Pike" and "Play It Again, Sam" as well as several television appearances in shows such as "Hawaii Five-O", "Mission: Impossible", and I recently saw her in an episode of "Adam-12".

Strider Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 The films I saw last weekend at Noir City Hollywood. Friday 7pm. Lloyd Bridges stole the show in this Cy Endfield B-movie. Restored 35mm film print. The mob scene at the end is brilliant. Also released as "Try and Get Me". Friday 9pm. This next one was kind of a dud. At least it was short...64 minutes. Saturday 7pm. Barbara Stanwyck was offered the role in "The Accused". Wisely, she took one look at the script and realized it was not for her..."too stupid to shoot", she said. Loretta Young plays another in her long line of wilting flowers. Only Wendell Corey's wisecracking detective and Sam Jaffe as the ghoulish police doctor make the movie watchable. Saturday 9:15pm. Now, "Caged" was more like it...starting with Agnes Moorehead, Eleanor Parker, and the 6'2" Hope Emerson. And look...it's 'Grandma Walton' Ellen Corby! Sunday 2pm. Dan Duryea as a hero? Howard Da Silva chews the scenery. Sunday 7pm. Sidney Poitier's film debut. Richard Widmark at his sleaziest best. Sunday 9:15pm. Michael Curtiz's take on the Hemingway's "To Have and Have Not" is closer to the story than Howard Hawks' "To Have and Have Not", which only used the title and little else from Hemingway's story. Fascinating scenes of early Newport Beach and environs in Southern California before it became overdeveloped. Second unit footage shot by Michael Curtriz's son David.

Strider Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Wednesday night was another film from the Takashi Shimura retrospective at the American Cinematheque: Kurosawa's "I Live in Fear" 1955. A man's nuclear paranoia drives him mad. Once again, Toshiru Mifune proves to be an absolute chameleon. He is almost unrecognizable. The last score that Fumio Hayasaka provided for Kurosawa before he died in 1955. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
