Does it sometimes happen to you to have a BIG and sudden revelation concerning a movie star? It happens to me all the time these days. Recently, my revelation was that Lee. J. Cobb was an awesomely great actor. I mean, he really is. Lee J. Cobb is well-known for having starred in classics such […]
Movie heroines are not always princesses waiting for a prince to rescue them, they are not always victims or damsels in distress. Female movie characters can be strong, they can have guts, determination, and many other wonderful qualities. GIRL POWER! Is it clear? Well, because of movie business, a group of stereotypes was created around […]
Today, I’m participating in The Barrymore Trilogy Blogathon, the very first blogathon hosted by In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood.

Today, for my fourth review as a member of the Dirty Dozen (a Facebook group formed of twelve movie reviewers), I’ve decided to write about one of my favourite movies of the 80’s. Well… now that I’m thinking about it, I think it really is my number one favourite. Anyway, I’m talking about Desperately Seeking […]
I was saying to myself that I hadn’t written a movie review on my blog for a long time. I mean, a movie review that is not due for a blogathon. The other day, I was watching The Birds and it was probably my 20th viewing (kind of). So, I felt inspired to write a […]
Many people say that 1939 was the greatest year in films. I agree it was a great year. It had some huge and memorable movies such as Gone With the Wind, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Stagecoach, and more. 1939 was also a year we won’t forget as it was the beginning of World […]
I haven’t written anything about Carole Lombard yet. The thing is, I haven’t seen many of her films. However, I’m discovering this actress with a great pleasure and enjoyed her acting in To Be or Not to Be (my favourite one), My Man Godfrey (“Godfrey loves me! He put me in the shower!” is one of […]
As you may know (or not), I’m a great fan of Margaret Lockwood. She was a very famous British actress in the 40’s, a “Gainsborough Pictures’ Queen”, and starred in many great movies such as The Lady Vanishes, The Wicked Lady, Cast a Dark Shadow, etc. However, today, I won’t talk to you about one […]
It’s already here, the Shorts! Blogathon hosted by Movies Silently. I have to say, this was one of the blogathons I was expecting the most. It’s a swell idea and it gives me the occasion to review Buster Keaton’s The High Sign (1921). Directed by Buster Keaton himself and Edward F. Cline, The High Sign […]
Today, I’m participating, for the first time, in the Pre-Code Blogathon hosted by Pre-Code.Com and Shadows & Satin. For the occasion, I chose to write about one of my favourite early British Hitchcock’s films: Murder! Released in 1930, this was his third talking picture after Blackmail and Juno & the Peacock. As you know, I’m […]
It’s finally here! A new blogathon! I missed them so much! This one is pretty original because, today, I won’t talk to you about one of my favourite movies, but about one of my favourite TV show episodes for The Favourite TV Show Episode Blogathon hosted by A Shroud of Thoughts. For the occasion, I chose […]
William Wyler is someone we can call an Oscar Winner director. Well, after John Ford he is (with Frank Capra) the second movie director who has received the most Oscars. He won the award for a total of three of his films: Mrs. Miniver, The Best Years of Our Lives and Ben-Hur. These three movies were […]
I said to myself the other day, that it would be intelligent to write a review of my favourite movie of all times. So, there it is, my Some Like it Hot‘s review, a movie that I can watch over and over always with a great pleasure. Before I saw this film, I had a […]
