MMV: Thriller
It’s Monday, October 28, and that means it’s time for one last foray into Halloween-appropriate music videos. The month seems to have just flown by. We’ve had some videos inspired by Halloween itself, some inspired by spooky concepts, and one … Continue reading

Three Short Films
For today, I’ve got another triplet of short films to review. All three shorts are in black and white, but in other respects, there’s an odd man out in a couple of ways. Two of the films are silents, but … Continue reading

Three Short Films
For today, another installment of short films. This time I’m looking at three shorts, and though they are all silent films, they aren’t all from the same era. In fact, there’s almost a hundred years between the oldest and the … Continue reading
Five Short Films
For today, I have another slew of short films to review. This time I’m tackling five of them at once, largely because a few of them are particularly short — though no less notable for that. There are two live-action … Continue reading

Brideless Groom / A Trip to the Moon / The Rounders
Got an assortment of short films to cover today. Rather than give each of them individual full-length reviews — I find it hard to justify giving a 20-minute film an entire day to itself — I thought I would cover … Continue reading
The Rink
Maybe I’ve seen too many of Charlie Chaplin’s short films already, or maybe just too many of them in the relatively brief span of time I’ve been writing on this blog. On a technical level, they are all very well … Continue reading

Women in Rock (1980)
A short while back, I confessed that I could only recall ever having watched one documentary feature, The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years. My fellow movie bloggers duly chastised me and suggested I remedy the situation. … Continue reading

Malice in the Palace
Today hasn’t left me a lot of time to watch or write anything, so it seems like a good time to bring out another classic Three Stooges short. 1949’s Malice in the Palace, directed and produced by Jules White, is … Continue reading
