The Tender Trap (1955) [Warner Archive Blu-ray review]
The Tender Trap is better known for providing Sinatra with a new hit song rather than being a quality movie. What I find more ridiculous is that MGM released The Tender Trap and Guys and Dolls on the ...
One Crazy Summer (1986)[Warner Archive Blu-ray review]
One Crazy Summer was a film ahead of its time. But not too ahead, as comedy can be a very insular thing. Well, let’s put it this way. Savage Steve Holland came the closest to the Frank Tashlin m...
There Was A Crooked Man (1970) [Warner Archive Blu-ray review]
There Was A Crooked Man was the older actors’ attempt to cash in on film revisionism. Kirk Douglas is made up to look like the younger actors that were breaking through to the counterculture. Pl...

Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948)
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House came into my film watching wheelhouse after watching The Money Pit. When I informed an older film fan about watching the movie, they let me know that General Elect...
Escape from Fort Bravo (1953) [Warner Archive Blu-ray review]

They Won’t Believe Me (1947) [Warner Archive Blu-ray review]
They Won’t Believe Me is a film indicative of its time. Starting on Larry Ballentine’s murder trial, Larry walks us through how he got to that point. Careful narration guides us through th...
The Yearling (1946) makes deer dear to animal lovers
The Yearling is a great movie about how your parents hate your pets. So much of kid literature from the first half of the 20th Century was about how having a pet in modern suburbia was a privilege. Th...
