★★★★: Raises the bar for musical proshots. Has a great mix of close and wide shots, letting you see both the face acting that would be hard to spot from the audience and the grandeur of the motion on the big stage. The band sounded great, as did all of the cast. You don't get to watch the dance breaks when listening to the sidetrack. They also made great use of the rotating floor and elevator. Not sure how much of Patrick Page's slinkiness was because of his boot, but it lead to some funny…
At first glance, nothing seems to pop out from today's listings, but a deeper look gives us some gems. For instance, this afternoon's Science Fiction Theater features Vincent Price as a police scientist; Ian Hendry, one of the originals on The Avengers, is being blackmailed into treason on Kraft Mystery Theater; future Oscar winner Beatrice Straight is on Route 66; Naked City highlights Martin Balsam as the guest star; more powerful, and more disturbing, are the turns by Frank Sutton and Robert…
It’s no secret that the Hollywood Comet loves musicals. In 2010, I revealed I had seen 400 movie musicals over the course of eight years. Now that number is over 600. To celebrate and share this musical love, here is … Continue reading →
The cost is the cost. The impact of war on woman takes audiences back to Essex for Ava Pickett’s much anticipated new play based on the Greek myth of Helen of Troy as the instigator of the Trojan war, and once again the playwright not only brings her distinctive and fervent voice to this story, […]
More Stars Soon in Heaven ---Part TwoProblem with event movies was unwashed public needing to agree that they were indeed events. Subject matter still had to matter, doubts frankly as to whether The Misfits would. Robert Mitchum was wanted initially for lead man. Memos I read suggest they wanted him badly. Did Mitchum see this as too much reprise of his previous The Lusty Men for RKO? Was writer Arthur Miller too lofty a prospect? Maybe Monroe as screen mate distanced him. By 1960, would her…
1951 adventure/romance, dir. John Huston, Humphrey Bogart, Katherine Hepburn: IMDb. After the African mission is destroyed, the survivor is determined to strike back at the Hun.
⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: FULL SPOILERS In a galaxy far, far away, The Mandalorian and Grogu embark on a thrilling new adventure filled with danger, loyalty, and the enduring bond of the Force. My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ (4.5/5 stars)** Overall, I liked it a lot. I think Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau do the Star Wars Universe justice. My favorite moments were probably the little guys and Grogu. I love their good baby, bad baby thing. I also liked seeing Sigourney Weaver in it. My only negative is that it felt a…

Thinking about: La bola negra 🍿 I went to see “La Bola Negra” - the Black Ball - at the New Zealand International Film Festival. It was one of the closing night films - along with Coward - also an amazing film about which I’ll have more to say. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about “La Bola Negra”. Its epic scope, its amazing cinematography, genuinely moving performances, and a script to die for. But most of all, its relevance to today’s world, where hate and violence towards gay and queer…
Most of the reality TV and unscripted Emmys were awarded last night—and Alan Cumming didn't show up to get his third consecutive trophy, which I wish had gone to Kristen Kish for her incredible work on Top Chef Carolinas.

Buried in a bunch of newspaper and magazine clippings I won at auction, I found a two-page advertisement for the short-lived official Twin Peaks newsletter, The Twin Peaks Gazette. This “newspaper” was written in cooperation from series creators Mark Frost and David Lynch and differs from one created by Steve Ryan from Fullerton, California first published in... The post ‘The Twin Peaks Gazette’ Announcement from December 1990 appeared first on TWIN PEAKS BLOG.
by Cláudio Alves With 24 individual citations, the last season of HACKS is the year's most nominated comedy. Just as this post hits the timeline, the TV Academy will be in the middle of its two-day celebration of the so-called Creative Arts Emmys. In other words, the show where they give out every “below the line” category, with the Guest Acting prizes thrown in for good measure. The main ceremony, when the big awards will be announced to a new class of television luminaries – or more of the…
"Have you got wifi?" A brother and sister (Grant O’Rourke, Gayle Rankin) have been living on a remote Scottish island alone for 30 years. They go into attack mode when a man from the council (Domhnall Gleeson) shows up to evict them. As I type, a long (perhaps too long) chapter of my life is drawing to a close, and this comedy about not wanting to leave your safe little island hit close to home. Yes you can chart the course of the film from the first 2 minutes, but its sense of humour is…
apathisch Bis 17 Uhr war heute ein guter Tag. Ich habe zwei Beiträge geschrieben und Klavier gespielt. Ich war zufrieden. Und dann, gegen 17 Uhr, habe ich einige unangenehme SMS von meiner Chefin erhalten. Obwohl ich heute nicht arbeite, hat mich das gestresst. Das ist alles, was ich dazu sagen werde. Wenn du mehr wissen möchtest, lies meine NOTIZEN. Meine ArbeitIch hatte meine erste Arbeitswoche und habe darüber geschrieben. Meine Chefin hat mir mitgeteilt, dass ich am Montag und Dienstag…
If you cross Planet of the Apes (featuring more simian species than usual) with Wacky Races and get Quentin Tarantino to direct, then I am pretty sure the result would be something like Jungle Race in all its blood and guts brilliance. It is set at some point in the near future (love the city backdrops, overtaken by nature) where humanity has disappeared, leaving behind the ruins and a few parting gifts -cars that still work is the one the monkeys most prize (and there are even some motorbikes…
Elisa Giudici reporting from Venice BUCKING FASTARD © Gateway to Orkney LLC Back in the 1980s, Werner Herzog met the Chaplin twin sisters for a project, but he is the first to warn against connecting his return to fiction filmmaking after a string of documentary projects too closely to that real story. In his new film Bucking Fastard, Jean and Joan are not twins but sisters who "speak, move, dress, dream and even slip their tongues, as the title proves, in the very same way." The movie is about…

That’s not a movie for me. I really did not care about anything or anyone in this. The story is boring and it’s all pretty pointless. While some images are great, the dream-like sequences border on ugly. Then it has some short funny scenes weirdly inserted. The end At the Gates of Hel is just disappointing. I’m sorry.
Season 3 of SILO ended with the media equivalent of being blue-balled. Got around to watching PROJECT HAIL MARY with my significant other for the first time, and we might as well have put on a Disney cartoon. Halfway through Ian M. Banks' USE OF WEAPONS, and it's fun and entertaining enough but I'm honestly a little surprised it's talked about as some great touchstone of sociocultural commentary and forward-thinking ideas. But perhaps I ought to wait until I finish it before jumping to any…
Video transcript: On Instagram, I wrote that I thought The Children [Lyric Hammersmith] was underwhelming, and by that I mean it was okay. It didn’t wow me. It didn’t make me go: ‘That was amazing.’ It was all right. It’s very well acted, and the production is great. You can’t fault either of those things at all. It just takes a very long time to get to the meat of the story. It’s about a couple who used to work in a [nuclear] power station. There was a disaster at the power station. It’s now…
John Wyver writes: One of the pleasures of the past weeks was a day’s ‘churching’ with friends in Suffolk, during which we visited the tiny thatched church of Thornham Parva. Behind the altar is the astonishing and exquisite Thornham Parva Retable (above), the largest medieval altarpiece in England. This is thought to have been made in the 133os for a Dominican priory, and it escaped later iconoclasts by being removed from the church. It was only in 1927 that it was rediscovered, hidden in a…

As many of my readers will be aware, COYOTE VS. ACME (2026) has had a long road to its theatrical release.Despite good advance industry "buzz," the movie was shelved as a $30 million tax writeoff by Warner Bros. Discovery in 2023.In 2025 Ketchup Entertainment bought the movie from WBD, and it was finally released theatrically late last month.Now that the movie is available, I had to go check it out, and I'm glad to say that for the most part I found it amusing and enjoyable.To set the stage,…
Very funny. Relationships go boom.
The world’s greatest motoring show returns with new presenters - Thomas Holland, James Engelsman and Francis Bourgeois - and its trademark blend of global adventure, incredible vehicles, epic stunts and strong opinions. While the original trio of Clarkson, Hammond and May remains legendary and unbeatable, I feel like the new trio doe have the proper chemistry to make this work on the long run. The production quality is there, the jokes are there and I actually binged the season, it’s so good.…
Today featured new glasses, searching for a new book, and then the movies to see Coyote versus Acme. It was good! Selfie a day for a year, day 18: Sep 5, 2026 edition.
