 | Monty Python & Holy Grail [Read More ...]
Description: Could this be the funniest movie ever made? By any rational measure of comedy, this medieval romp from the Monty Python troupe certainly belongs on the short list of candidates. According to Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide, it's "recommended for fans only," but we say hogwas... |

 | Abbott & Costello: Naughty Nineties [Read More ...]
Review: Classic routines:Perhaps not their best movie but a favorite of A&C fans because it contains some of their classic routines, including the "Who's on First" bit. There is also a great schtick where Lou is looking through a porthole, his face covered in shaving cream, and Joe Sawye... |
 | Major & The Minor [Read More ...]
Description: On her first day of work, Sue Applegate (Ginger Rogers) has to escape the clutches of a lecherous client (Robert Benchley, whose favorite line is "Why don't you slip out of that wet coat and into a dry martini?"). Fed up with the big city, Sue decides to head home to Iowa with t... |
 | Broadway Serenade [Read More ...]
Review: It's a long way to Busby!:The film is over-long, sometimes boring and a typically over-produced, shiny, uninspired MGM picture. But because of Jeannette MacDonald it is ok. One has to wait long until the eccentric Busby Berkeley finale. It is one of his lesser known works but his... |
 | Big Clock [Read More ...]
Description: What if you were asked to investigate a murder in which you were the prime suspect? From this seemingly impossible notion comes a grandly entertaining nail-biter. Charles Laughton plays the punctuality obsessed, slave-driving head of a publishing empire who won't let his crime ma... |

 | Junior Bonner [Read More ...]
Description: One of director Sam Peckinpah's lesser-known and little-seen outings, this is actually one of his most interesting for being so relaxed. Yet it deals with the themes that always interested him: the man who has watched the world pass him by and realizes that his time is gone. In t... |
 | Here Comes Mr Jordan '93 [Read More ...]
Description: Even after two remakes--one a classic (Heaven Can Wait), the other, not so much (Chris Rock's Down to Earth)--this 1941 fantasy, an Oscar-winner for Best Original Story and Screenplay, has lost none of its ethereal charms. Robert Montgomery gives a knockout performance as Joe Pe... |
![]() | They Won't Believe Me [Read More ...]
Review: Good 40s Noir!:It's not easy to construct a review for "They Won't Believe Me". The main reason is the startling number of twist and turns in the plot. That good guy, Robert Young, is the central character and entwines himself with no fewer than 3 women in just 95 minutes of ru... |

 | Perfect Marriage [Read More ...]
Review: Fun but Talky Marital Farce:Movie comedies based on stage plays generally have one flaw: there's much more talk than action. The Perfect Marriage is no exception to this rule, but the talk is enjoyable enough to keep it entertaining. (And there are also a few moments of blunt tr... |

 | My Friend Flicka [Read More ...]
Description: This gorgeous 1943 family film stars Roddy McDowell as a Colorado rancher's son who takes a shine to a colt named Flicka and chooses to train her. The boy's father (Preston Foster) isn't happy about the idea: the horse is an offspring of a stormy mare who may not be right in the ... |

Review: "Return To Paradise" :Letter of Introduction is a comedy drama with a great cast. Adolphe Menjou (A Star is Born, Pollyanna) plays John Manning, a movie star past his prime. When his now grown daughter Katy Martin (Andrea Leeds), whom he hasn't met since she was a child, shows ... |

Review: Quinn and Hayworth - how can you lose?:I have been wanting to see this movie for so long. I have never seen Hayworth and Quinn paired together. Both started their careers, I believe, as Spanish dancers. Hayworth is beautiful and Quinn gives a stellar performance as a dedicated sa... |
