THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL

Apr 5, 2020

Dear Cinephiles, How something bad can create something so beautiful? That is at the heart of one of my favorite Kirk Douglas’ movies, “The Bad and The Beautiful.” In the 1950s, when the studio system’s power started to fade, there were a group of films that –

9 TO 5

Apr 13, 2020

Dear Cinephiles, “9 to 5” is tremendously entertaining and funny. I’m still amazed that this raucous comedy is 40 years old. It entails three female office workers who plot revenge against their sexist – egotistical – lying – hypocritical bigot of a boss –

GREY GARDENS

Apr 10, 2020

THE SEARCHERS

Apr 9, 2020

SOME LIKE IT HOT

Mar 30, 2020

CABARET

Mar 26, 2020
