Whenever I’m travelling, I enjoy the fact that I can visit and discover the wonders of whatever chosen destination and finally be able to take that time of the year to read a book. I used to be a much more avid reader when I was younger. Many factors, such as a passion for films, […]
It’s that time of the year again! One of my very favourite blogging events, The Annual Buster Keaton Blogathon is back for the 6th time! Hosted by the Lea over at Silent-Ology, this is the occasion for Keaton fans like me to share all kind of thoughts about this genius and his prolific on-screen career. […]
A few weeks ago, my dad told me they were going to screen a documentary on Buster Keaton at the Cinéma du Musée in Montreal. We watched the trailer and came to the conclusion it looked like an amazing film and that we had to go see it. Working myself in a movie theatre which […]
We have a smithy at our country house. Yes, yes. We don’t use it anymore as no one alive in my family is a graduated blacksmith (!) but the woman who gave us this house (my grandfather’s cousin) was the daughter of the village’s blacksmith. She was quite a character and would put posters in […]
Well, yesterday was this time of the year where I do my usual Hitchcock movie marathon in honour of him. My favourite movie director would have been 118 years old! Even if he is no longer with us since a long time, many continue to celebrate his timeless work. I started my little marathon Saturday […]
From March 2015 to April 2017, I was writing the monthly Teen Scene column for the website ClassicFlix. My objective was to promote classic films among teenagers and young adults. Due to the establishing of a new version of the website, it’s now more difficult to access to the old version and read the reviews. […]
This semester, I’m attending a course on Irish cinema. Each week, we are expected to write a blog-like journal about the film we watched in class and/or our class discussion about the film. I’ve decided to include those entries to my blog, so it would be more agreeable to read than a Word document. This […]
Writing about Buster Keaton’s films has always been a pleasant experience for me. When Lea from Silent-Ology announced that she’ll be hosting the Buster Keaton Blogathon for a third consecutive year, I couldn’t skip this most amazing event. This year is a special one, as 2017 marks the centenary of Buster Keaton’s career which started […]
Even if they are not human actors, animals sometimes have an important place to play in movies. They can represent friendship, danger or simple company. With her blogathon The Animal in Films Blogathon, Crystal from In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood allows us to celebrate our furry friends and what they brought to […]
Here is the fun we can make with some (ok, many) Buster Keaton’s gifs. Learn how to be like Buster Keaton, for better or for worst! Hope you enjoyed this little entertainment!
Do you know what is one of the best things that ever happened to me? Discovering classic films. They are just magic. Yes, there are some good contemporary films, I don’t deny it, but there’s something different with classic films. They HAVE to be seen, you know. That’s why they are called “classics”. Unfortunately, those are […]
This article is part of the Silent Cinema Blogathon hosted by In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood and Lauren Champkin. *** Silent films tend to be forgotten nowadays, probably due to the fact that they were made a long time ago (with the exception of The Artist, which is a great film by […]
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 […]
