So, this may seem strange that I’m dedicating a post to a TV movie from the 80s, but hear me out, classic movie community! There are so many classic stars in this version of Alice in Wonderland, you won’t believe it! This was a two-part musical mini-series that first aired in December of 1985, just …

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 …

While the plot isn’t fully fleshed out in places, we don’t care because we’re having such a marvelous ride. Screwball Comedies were better known for …

Because of the cast, the story, and the musical numbers, this is one of my favorite films, so I was glad to revisit it for this article in preparation for a podcast episode and for MovieRob’s April blog theme of Courtroom Dramas. The courtroom scene in this one may not be long, but it sure …
I had wanted to watch Paris When It Sizzles (it was nicknamed “Paris When it Drizzles” by the cast and crew due to the terrible weather) for quite a while, mostly due to the fact that it’s one of only two movies that William Holden and Audrey Hepburn did together (the other one being Sabrina). …

Being an 80s baby, I saw the 1999 version of The Mummy first and fell in love with Brendan Fraser as a teen. There is no doubt his perfection for the role, given his sass, acting abilities, and impecable delivery. I saw this many times before even approaching the original. I fell in love with …
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 …
