Happy Birthday Colin the Great
i am one of those who personally feel colin was robbed of the oscar this past season for 'a single man'. oddly enough the more i read the more i notice how many officiendos and film lover's agree with me. so up next it's 'the king's speech'. the film and mr firth are being widely praised and lauded at the massive amount of film festivals now happening. so maybe colin will get what he was robbed of this past season by giving the oscar in 2010 to the 'sentimental' favorite last time out. we'll see.
here's a clip from 'the king's speech

Let's Talk About Kim
it appears to be time for a kim novak collection. and it is deserved. i love kim novak. was she the best actress ever? no. so what. she was a personality who could act. she was one studios answer to marilyn monroe. did she beat out monroe? no. was she a better actress than monroe? hell yes and most film historians agree. i'm a film historian and i sure agree. so there!
and did i mention she's a beauty.
the collection includes 'bell book and candle', 'jeanne eagles', 'picnic', 'middle of the night' and the truly awful 'pal joey'.
'pinic', and 'jeanne eagles' are among my favorite kim films. they would be joined by 'vertigo', 'the legend of lylah clare', 'bell book and candle' and the 'notorious landlady' in my collection.
but i also give you the following kim films that i like a lot. are they great films. hell no. some are good. some are campy. hell 'the legend of lylah clare' that i listed above is one of the campiest films ever. hey i'm gay. we love campy movies.
so give the collection a try. but avoid the bastardized 'pal joey' that went from a damn good broadway musical to a lousy frank sinatra ego trip of a movie.
i give you miss kim novak
Song of the Day: 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'
fall is upon the northern hemisphere and as the seasons change so do we all change...so i'm going to try and expand things here. so i'm going to give a shot at a 'song of the day'...all i can say is my musical mind and tastes are all over the place...eclectic. so you will never know what's up next. music is my life. it is in me. it always has been. music, all music, needs to be shared. i'm a virgo thus i believe in sharing.
to start things off is the queen herself, miss aretha franklin, with 'bridge over troubled water'.

'The Back Up Plan': **stars
i have a thing for jennifer lopez in her romantic comedies. i find her absolutely charming in them. even in this bit of a miss and mess she shines. alex o'laughlin is another charmer. they just have a lousy script to work with that's all too formula and familiar.
rent it on a rainy day. it will pass the time.
Pet
i'm on a well needed solo vacation so i'm leaving you with the wonderful petula clark to add some sunshine to your life today.

The Emmy's Redux
if you missed the emmy's you missed a damn good opening number. so here it is.
best bit: betty white and jon hamm
enjoy.
September Recommendations
'charade' is the real deal for me this month. audrey hepburn, cary grant and paris on blu ray. stanley donen's hitcockian thriller is and will always rate A+ in my book. if you've seen it see it again: if you have not seen it treat yourself. it is simply the best.
the first season of 'glee' is released. if you haven't seen it rent it and get ready for season 2 which premieres on september 21. you owe it to yourself.
and then we have season one of 'the vampire diaries' one of last year's best new tv series. i love it and it scores higher with me than 'true blood'.
season 2 begins on september 9th and i'll be there.
it is shakespere, it has kate winslet and julie christie and it's on blu ray. i need no other reasons to own it. i grant it is primarily a kenneth branagh vanity production but what the hell it still has christie and winslet. enuf said!
you needed a subscribtion to starz to see 'spartacus'. this month you can rent or own it on dvd or blu ray. this was an ambitius project and turned out to be one of the best this past season. i say go for it.
'letters to juliet' is a charmer. it's an ice crean sundae on a summer afternoon. amanda seyfried continues to shine even as vanessa redgrave steals the cherry right off her sundae. what can i say i love this type of film as much as most others when done right. this was done right.
last but not least is the first dvd only release of 1964's 'where love has gone'. based on the king of 60's trash novelist harold robbins novel it is a piece of high camp. for fans of bette davis and or susan hayward it is a must. these were the days of older actresses having to do camp or horror films to work. thank the gods this in no longer true. but as both a hayward and davis fan i can't wait to see them go at it again in living color. as far as camp films go it is an A.
these releases will also be available in september:
'poltergiest' one of the best of it's genre on blu ray.
'tommy' the who's rock musical mainly notable for tina tiurner as the acid queen on blu ray.
'harlow' a carroll baker vehicle that is good 'trashy' fun. it was done better as a carol lynley vehicle at the same time which appears to have disappeared. dvd only.
and of course
the fifth season of 'supernatural' will be released on blu ray and dvd. but for your own sake start at season 1
