Although Marilyn Monroe technically acted in four film noirs, Niagara and Don’t Bother to Knock are the only two were she has questionable motives or is straight-up evil (The Asphalt Jungle and Clash By Night have her playing nicer characters). It is refreshing to see her in roles that are opposed to her regular dumb …

When I watched Viva Las Vegas on a whim a little over a year ago, I was hooked. Sure, I’d heard Elvis’ songs growing up, but I did not fully appreciate him until I saw him in this film. The chemistry rolls off him and Ann-Margret like the most intense thing in the world. It …
When it comes to Christmas films, it’s no secret that there a ton to choose from. But which ones are on your must-watch every year? Which ones do you gravitate to? For me, there are a mix of those I watched growing up that hold a special place in my heart (honorable mentions to Rudolph, A …
