In honor of Doris Day’s birthday, I wanted to write about one of her movies that I hadn’t watched in a while. Calamity Jane is definitely my favorite, but since I’ve already written about that one and love Frank Sinatra, I decided to go with Young at Heart. Synopsis: The musical Tuttle family enjoys playing […]

I’m a sucker for Sinatra and while this movie is definitely not considered one of his best, it is still kind of fun and amusing to watch once in a while. I rewatched it to prepare for a blogathon and much of it was enjoyable, but some of it is certainly cringe-worthy. Synopsis: Ricardo {Frank

Vertigo is a super weird movie. It is one of those that keeps you guessing the whole time and is the best the first time you watch it. I thought it was perfect for the Unhappy Valentines Blogathon because things go horribly wrong for the two main characters. The movie completely flopped at the time

I had been wanting to watch this movie for some time. I decided that Real Weegie Midget Reviews’ and Taking up Room’s Home Sweet Home blogathon was the perfect opportunity to watch You Can’t Take it with You. I absolutely loved it and don’t know why I didn’t see it sooner. It’s funny and has

Sabrina is the first movie that I ever saw William Holden in and even though he’s kind of a cad, I really liked him. Add in Audrey Hepburn, a real love story and Humphrey Bogart and it’s one of my favorites. Synopsis Chauffeur’s daughter, Sabrina {Hepburn}, has had a crush on one of her dad’s

I’m happy to participate in MovieRob‘s Genre Grandeur for December, which focuses on alternative Christmas movies. I struggled with a subject for this one as I’ve always kind of thought of this one as a Christmas movie. Then I realized that it being a Christmas movie is a stretch even though it was released in

There is no doubt about it. Frank Sinatra is my all-time favorite singer and performer. I first discovered him through his movies with Gene Kelly {Anchors Aweigh, On the Town and Take Me Out to the Ball Game} and soon was smitten. His characters are very endearing in those and that voice is so smooth
Frank Sinatra is my favorite, so I’m really excited to be hosting a blogathon in honor of what would have been his 105th birthday tomorrow, December 12th! If you are a participant, please comment with your link! Happy birthday, Frankie! List of Participants KN Winiarski Writes – Why I’m Such a Sucker for Sinatra/Higher and

I’m happy to be participating in Pure Entertainment Preservation Society‘s Happy Holidays Blogathon! I thought Holiday Inn would be fun since it features many different holidays all in one. Holiday Inn may not be as well known as White Christmas, but the song “White Christmas” was first sang here. It also won the Oscar for
