Finally finished all 9 of the Jesse Stone series. Good movies but sad tales.

Streamed one of my all-time favorite fantasies from the TCM app tonight: The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao. Sadly, the TCM transfer is still disappointingly SD rather than HD, but the color seemed a bit stronger than that on the DVD. Lots of interlacing artifacts, though, that were sometimes quite distracting.

Last night I watched the Blu-ray disc of Jumbo for only the second time! I was suddenly in the mood for it. It's a nice film and the disc is superb. Doris' renditions of My Romance and Little Girl Blue are even better than Ella Fitzgerald's: no small achievement.

The Grissom Gang has just arrived so I'll watch than tonight. "A Brand New HD Master from a 4K scan of the Original Camera Negative!" Should be good!

7 Faces of Dr. Lao is one of a handful of guilty pleasures for me. Movies that don't get a lot of respect but I like probably more than I should. I saw it at the theater and then took many friends to see it. Since then I have watched it well over a dozen times and in fact watched it within the last month. If a Blu Ray comes up - I'm in but I'm afraid we may be in the minority.

Randall said in an interview that he loved doing all of the quirky characters but he didn't feel the movie was a very good film. I've never read the book, so maybe there is something it in that didn't get transferred to the screen.

I was enchanted with the film from the first time I saw it and have never wavered in my support for it. Love the Leigh Harline score, too.

I see many of the warts - low budget - poor special effects (stop motion for vanishes and appearances that are obvious) - sometimes wooden dialog - etc. but the story is so charming and many of the actors give great performances - Tony Randall is outstanding - It just makes me happy.

Lots of neat stories on this one. Randall had already shaved his head before they decided to have him do a cameo so he had to wear a wig to play himself.

The book is very close but much more cynical - very little hope unlike the movie.

Cesar (Criterion BD), the last installment in Pagnol's Marseilles Trilogy. Taken as a whole, this is a monumental cinematic achievement.
Howards End miniseries scripted by Kenneth Lonergan (4 chapters in toto, Starz stream)
Period. End of Sentence. (Netflix) AA nominated for short-subject documentary

Super 8 tonight.

First time watching this lighthearted western caper, and the Kino Blu looked real nice. Very enjoyable movie, and Burt Reynolds, Ossie Davis and Clint Walker really make for a fun team who pull off a "reverse heist" ala Mission: Impossible. It doesn't hurt that Angie Dickinson is (no surprise) super sexy here, as the instigator of the plan.

I love this movie, too, and think it is a fine, unusual fantasy western. Randall has a field day, and is very good. I also think John Ericson, Arthur O'Connell and Barbara Eden do good work here. Ms. Eden gets a nice sexy scene where her buttoned-up librarian character gets all hot and bothered when she encounters Pan.

A few nights ago I watched a Roy Rogers movie over TCM: Under Western Skies, inducted into the National Film Registry. Not a good print. A song was nominated for an AA.
Last night was a Republic flic, The Man Who Died Twice (Kino BD)
Today, so far, Never Look Away (DCP) nominated for 2 major AAs. The long running time seemed short to me.
