  • Lots of reasons why I haven't written recently, way too much to do so I'll keep it incredibly brief for everything.Caught Two for the Road on sky - good film, both leads are charming and while I don't think the structure works it's very watchable. Saw the new Indy film, Cate steals it, it's quite good but nothing more than National Treasure if... more

  • Ok, I have Son of Rambow to talk about, but I want that on last, so I'll get rid of this backlog and then do that separately. I saw "the dirtiest American movie" Baby Doll and I can't see the fuss the way I can for films like Peyton Place or Anatomy of a Murder for their themes and content, this is a guy wanting to sleep with another... more

  • Well, I think I've finally come out of my "modern French" period and have well and truly circled back round into a classic hollywood mood. A lot of really old stuff has been put on youtube so I've been raiding that recently. I thought I would never get to see the Garbo version of The Painted Veil and I still haven't seen it all, but... more

  • After seeing "the greatest performance of all time" from Garbo in Camille the other week I fell upon two of her fellow oscar nominees that year - one I've been looking for for years (Barbara Stanwyck in Stella Dallas - thank you youtube) and one that was basically on every classic site I could find (Janet Gaynor in A Star is Born) so I... more

  • So despite doing an entry earlier it appears I have a load of stuff to talk about, so I'll try and get that out of the way in one go. I'll start with the Camilles. Now, over the past couple of months I've been raiding Lovefilm's Greta Garbo box-set and this was the last one I hadn't seen. It's an excellent role for Garbo and she gets quite... more
