    Blu-ray Review The Ox-Bow Incident Blu-ray Review

    It's a masterpiece, so great news about the quality, Matt. A friend of mine turned me onto it in VHS days. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! Met Marc Lawrence at the time Marathon Man was in cinemas. A kind, sweet nature that belied the looks that had him cast so often as a villain. Proof...

    Maureen O'Hara passes away

    Fiery redhead is right! My friend Gil got invited to the set of The Rare Breed by Brian Keith. She'd been arguing with Andrew McLaglen so the first word he heard from that beautiful mouth as she approached them was a loud Anglo-Saxon F-bomb. Hard to believe, but he said the cameras didn't do...

    A Few Words About 'While we wait for A few words about...™ Spartacus -- in Blu-ray'

    First I knew of this, and so true! That committee was very Un-American. Ironic that ol' Joe Stalin would have felt right at home on it.

    A Few Words About 'While we wait for A few words about...™ Spartacus -- in Blu-ray'

    The reason I'm most proud to have met Gene Kelly was for what Jules Dassin had to say about him. In his interview on the Criterion Rififi, Dassin recalls the time at a Cannes Festival when he spotted Kelly and, eager not to embarrass him, hid around a corner. He thought he was safe when he felt...

    SOUTH PACIFIC

    She was my first crush! Surreal meeting her in the early '90s with this in mind. Didn't mention it, of course. Mitzi is adorable. Love every millimeter of every frame. Have yet to meet anyone who feels the same, but I also love the filters. For me, they add to the magical element attributed to...

    Movies Should, At The Least, Be Good

    :P I told a friend I threw out all my Superman movies after seeing this. (Still, it looks like Citizen Kane compared to the last Superman!)
