David Copperfield, 1935..

The film was well-received upon its release in January 1935. Andre Sennwald of The New York Times (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times) called it "the most profoundly satisfying screen manipulation of a great novel the camera has ever given us."[7] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Copperfield_(1935_film)#cite_note-7) Variety (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variety_(magazine)) wrote that it had "one of the most evenly good casts ever to have been assembled", with staging and costumes that were "almost always excellent."

Well it was a bit of a hotch potch from three screenplay writers. Nonetheless, despite the clichés, it is one of my favourite films.
(BTW - I understand there is a 'colurised' version - ugh!)

During the taxi ride, Donald Sutherland (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000661/?ref_=tttrv_tr) and Brooke Adams (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000724/?ref_=tttrv_tr)'s nervousness is genuine. Don Siegel (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0796923/?ref_=tttrv_tr) had lost much of his vision and was driving through the dark streets of San Francisco without his glasses.
Harry the homeless banjo guy's banjo playing was performed by Grateful Dead (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0335993/?ref_=tttrv_tr) frontman Jerry Garcia (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0305263/?ref_=tttrv_tr). The song being played (and sung) is the traditional "Going Down the Road Feeling Bad," which was a regular tune played by The Dead in live performances, and appears on several live albums.
The man asking for help is Kevin McCarthy (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002994/?ref_=tttrv_tr), the star of the 1956 adaptation Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049366/?ref_=tttrv_tr).

this was edward g robinson's final film. he died a few months before it was released at 79. he was pretty much deaf and it took him a lot of effort and multipe tries to get into the swing of the dialogue in scenes timing wise. on occasion when director called cut in a scene, he would just continue to recite his part without knowing.
A dreadful film, but remarkably prescient.
It's set in 2022 with the global population at 7 billion. Today in 2024 the global population is 7.9 billion.
Today there are people here in the UK who have to go without food close to the end of the month, yet others cannot afford to keep up with their mortgage payments due to inflation.
As I said remarkably prescient.

One of my favourite films.
First saw it on release, with my father (not sure what the BBFC classification was at the time, but I was only eleven, so might have needed to be accompanied by an adult.) Anyway it was a good job he was there, as he could explain the 24 hour clock system to me.

To receive a 'U' certificate the original UK cinema version was overdubbed to remove all of Barnsby's (richard Harris)uses of the word 'bloody' (the word was replaced with the less offensive 'ruddy'), and this same print appeared on early video releases.

Mildly amusing, but doesn't do justice to the novel.

i was very impressed overall, but needs a rewatch i think. its got a lot in it ; and part 2 to come.. ive got the lynch one which is good too, but think this may be better.

I'm not surprised, the Lynch version was IMO a disaster!

the lynch one isnt bad but this is on a much grander scale. plenty action etc and some of the sets are quite classy in their way.
im one of the few who liked this. good cast and well enough written for a fairly light action comedy. My Fellow Americans, 1996..

For the sound design, director Jon Favreau (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0269463/?ref_=tttrv_tr) and composer John Debney (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002201/?ref_=tttrv_tr) sought to recreate the Fantasound experience Walt Disney (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000370/?ref_=tttrv_tr) had in mind for Fantasia (1940) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032455/?ref_=tttrv_tr). When mixing the soundtrack in Dolby Atmos, as Favreau said, "we isolated instruments when we could, and in the sound mix, we created a Fantasound mix. If you see the movie in Atmos, you will feel that there are instruments that move around the theatre."
Around one thousand remote jungle locations in India were photographed and used as reference in post-production.
The animal characters were created entirely in key frame computer animation, with the assistance of footage of real animal movement, the actors recording their lines, and performance capture for reference. The production team underwent a thorough process to realistically convey the animals' speaking, while still making them perceptually believable to the audience. Director Jon Favreau (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0269463/?ref_=tttrv_tr) researched earlier movies featuring anthropomorphic animals, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0029583/?ref_=tttrv_tr), Bambi (1942) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034492/?ref_=tttrv_tr), and Babe (1995) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112431/?ref_=tttrv_tr), and adopted certain techniques from those movies into this movie. Nearly seventy separate species of animals native to India are featured in this movie, with several species being portrayed as "one hundred fifty percent larger" than their actual counterparts. Jim Henson's Creature Shop was brought in to provide animal puppet figures for Neel Sethi (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5888481/?ref_=tttrv_tr) to act against, although none appear in the finished movie. The animal puppets were performed by Artie Esposito (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1186819/?ref_=tttrv_tr), Sean W. Johnson (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0426207/?ref_=tttrv_tr), Allan Trautman (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0871209/?ref_=tttrv_tr), and April Warren. Favreau utilized motion-capture with certain actors and actresses, expressing a desire to avoid overusing the technology, in order to prevent evoking an uncanny valley effect.

Sherlock Holmes investigates London's most infamous case, Jack the Ripper.
Although Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle never wrote a story about Jack the Ripper, the idea of Holmes working on that case is not entirely without basis in fact. Joseph Bell, who inspired the character of Sherlock Holmes, was consulted by Scotland Yard on the case.
Publicity for this movie stated that it was the one hundred thirty-fourth Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson movie. The first had been Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1905) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0000501/?ref_=tttrv_tr).
Think I might have seen it. Is it the one which suggests The Ripper has links to the Palace?

I think that's the mini-series with Michael Caine and Bodie off of 'The Professionals'. But it's not a Sherlock Holmes film, Caine just plays some copper.

So they fleshed out the other Nazi, and he fell into my lap. It was convenient, it was acceptable, I could even make sense of the character, and besides, it was four weeks work in Portugal, where I'd never been before."

The Apartment, 1960.. bluray
https://theafi100.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/large_6j5rwcwycruz2gnh3nrq4whsvmp.jpg
The film was lauded by Soviet-bloc critics as an indictment of the American system and a story that could only have happened in a capitalistic city like New York. At a dinner honoring him in East Berlin, Billy Wilder (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000697/?ref_=tttrv_tr) said the movie "could happen anywhere, in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Rome, Paris, London." When Wilder said the one place it could not have happened was Moscow, the East Germans broke into thunderous applause and cheers. When the ovation died down, Wilder continued: "The reason this picture could not have taken place in Moscow is that in Moscow nobody has his own apartment." The remark was met with grim silence.
Billy Wilder (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000697/?ref_=tttrv_tr) gave Jack Lemmon (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000493/?ref_=tttrv_tr) free rein to fill in the character of C.C. "Bud" Baxter in performance. He compared the actor favorably to Charles Chaplin (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000122/?ref_=tttrv_tr) and thought he could do no wrong.
In the scene where Karl punches Baxter, Jack Lemmon (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000493/?ref_=tttrv_tr) was supposed to mime being punched. He failed to move correctly and was accidentally knocked down. Billy Wilder (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000697/?ref_=tttrv_tr) chose to use the shot of the genuine punch in the film.
Jack Lemmon (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000493/?ref_=tttrv_tr) related later in life how Billy Wilder (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000697/?ref_=tttrv_tr) kept his film editor, Doane Harrison (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0365561/?ref_=tttrv_tr), on the set with him at all times as associate producer and never made a shot until they both discussed it. As a result, he was able to shoot sparingly, cutting the film in the camera and eliminating costly set-ups that might never be used.

Another good film. Despite very little action, the film is quite gripping.
All very British, and doing 'the right thing' - they all deserved their ice cold beer when they reached Alexandria.

Juliet Mills (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005236/?ref_=tttrv_tr) gained 25 pounds within six weeks to take on the role of Pamela Piggott.
Billy Wilder (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000697/?ref_=tttrv_tr) cast several non-professionals in supporting roles. Guidarino Guidi (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0346745/?ref_=tttrv_tr) was a Rome actor's agent who called Wilder about getting jobs on the film for various clients and was instead cast as the maitre d' of the Excelsior Hotel; Raffaele Mottola (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0609550/?ref_=tttrv_tr) was hired as the film's dialogue coach and then persuaded to play the passport official at the start of the film; and the elderly Armando Giovagnoli (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2644594/?ref_=tttrv_tr), playing the nonagenarian Baron, was Wilder's chauffeur on the film. The famous make-up man Harry Ray (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0712844/?ref_=tttrv_tr), who worked on a number of Wilder films (and was, for a time, Jack Lemmon (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000493/?ref_=tttrv_tr)'s personal make-up man), was cast as Dr. Fleischman, the dentist on Wendell's plane - perhaps because of his close resemblance to Billy Wilder (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000697/?ref_=tttrv_tr).
After Marcello Mastroianni (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000052/?ref_=tttrv_tr) had turned down the role of Carlucci, Billy Wilder (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000697/?ref_=tttrv_tr) tested both Nino Manfredi (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0542063/?ref_=tttrv_tr) and Romolo Valli (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0885123/?ref_=tttrv_tr) for the part. However, he worried that their accents would be too strong for American audiences and cast the New Zealand-born Clive Revill (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0720890/?ref_=tttrv_tr) after the actor (whom he had recently directed in The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066249/?ref_=tttrv_tr)) happened to call him on the telephone. Revill had played a Russian in his earlier Wilder film and had also played an Italian quite recently in The Assassination Bureau (1969) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064045/?ref_=tttrv_tr); Wilder recalled his facility for languages and his skill at accents (he had also played both an Arab and a Scot in Modesty Blaise (1966) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060708/?ref_=tttrv_tr), an American in A Fine Madness (1966) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060414/?ref_=tttrv_tr) and another Russian in both Fathom (1967) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061653/?ref_=tttrv_tr) and The Shoes of the Fisherman (1968) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063599/?ref_=tttrv_tr) in the recent past) and hired him at once.

Colin Blakely (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0086780/?ref_=tttrv_tr) was cast quite late in pre-production, and was hired by Billy Wilder (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000697/?ref_=tttrv_tr) on the strong recommendation of Robert Stephens (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0827137/?ref_=tttrv_tr), a friend and colleague of Blakely's in his work with the National Theatre, and his co-star in the original stage production of "The Royal Hunt Of The Sun" by Peter Shaffer (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0787323/?ref_=tttrv_tr) in 1964. In that, Blakely played Pizarro and Stephens played Atahuallpa. Both had been lavishly praised for their performances.
The third castle that Holmes, Watson and Madame Valladon visit in Scotland is Eilean Donan, also known as "the Highlander Castle" ever since it was used as a location in the film "Highlander". The bridge and castle appear to look quite different than in the later film but that is merely because of the different perspective used.
Location shooting at Loch Ness in Scotland took two weeks. Afterwards, Robert Stephens (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0827137/?ref_=tttrv_tr) collapsed and had to be hospitalized for exhaustion. Production was shut down for at least two weeks.
Nicol Williamson (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0932116/?ref_=tttrv_tr) was considered for the role of Holmes, but was passed over for Robert Stephens (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0827137/?ref_=tttrv_tr). Williamson would go on to play the detective in The Seven-Per-Cent Solution (1976) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075194/?ref_=tttrv_tr).

It was the first film released under the aegis of Charles Rogers and was given a big premiere.[14] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Man_Godfrey#cite_note-14) My Man Godfrey premiered on September 6, 1936, and was released in the United States on the 17th of September.[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Man_Godfrey#cite_note-:0-2) It was a runaway hit and earned huge profits for the studio.
Young Frankenstein, 1974..
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b5/Young_Frankenstein_movie_poster.jpg
The film is a parody (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parody_film) of the classic horror (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Monsters) film genre, in particular the various film adaptations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenstein_in_popular_culture#Film_derivatives) of Mary Shelley (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Shelley)'s 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenstein) produced by Universal Pictures (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Pictures) in the 1930s. A critical and commercial success, Young Frankenstein ranks No. 28 on Total Film (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Film) magazine's readers' "List of the 50 Greatest Comedy Films of All Time".
Principal photography (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_photography) began on February 19, 1974, and wrapped on May 3, 1974. To recreate the visual style of the original Universal horror films, Brooks shot in black-and-white, employed vintage-style opening credits, used wipes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wipe_(transition)) and irises (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_shot) for scene transitions, and even used the original Kenneth Strickfaden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Strickfaden) lab equipment from the 1931 Frankenstein (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenstein_(1931_film)).
Marty Feldman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marty_Feldman) added a comic twist to his character, by deliberately swapping which side the hump on his back was located; when Doctor Frankenstein asks him about it, Igor replies simply: "What hump?" Wilder wrote the role specially for Feldman.
Sherlock Holmes, 2009.

Rachel McAdams (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1046097/?ref_=tttrv_tr), Jude Law (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000179/?ref_=tttrv_tr), and Robert Downey Jr. (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000375/?ref_=tttrv_tr) reportedly did most of their own stunts.
In the stories, Holmes is described to be an expert in Baritsu. In the film, however, the martial art that Holmes used is the Wing-Chun Kung Fu (famously used by Ip Man Yee (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2416279/?ref_=tttrv_tr) and Bruce Lee (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000045/?ref_=tttrv_tr)). Robert Downey, Jr. is a practitioner of the art in real-life, and the fight scene between him and David Garrick (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1162877/?ref_=tttrv_tr) at Punch Bowl Pit was coordinated with the help of his trainer. Director of photography Philippe Rousselot (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0003542/?ref_=tttrv_tr) used a special high-speed digital camera specifically to film the Punch Bowl fight sequence. The key moment where Holmes punches his opponent's jaw was filmed one second in real time, and turned into a seven-second shot without additional post-production aid.
'The Six Million Dollar Man.'
A seven million dollar man is created but he can't handle the powers and goes crackers. Amazing amount of padding in this episode, there's two slow motion fight scenes that go on forever.
Still one of the better episodes though. This was trash TV at the time but compared to modern stuff it's practically Shakespeare.

Assumed I'd seen this before but turned out that I hadn't.
Not that I'd missed much, totally pedestrian outing for the 'TNG' crew, most of whom are hardly in it. They were supposed to do another TNG film after this, but poor box office performance meant this was the last one.
There's nothing like going out on a low.
I mean you know it is bad when even Patrick Stewart can't save it.
Unless you are really into Trek I am going to award this a 'Don't bother'.

Documentary - or, if you will, 'Rockumentary' - about the well known band.
Not bad this even if it is French. Only about an hour long so does not hang about or dwell. Some good interviews and clips. Worth a watch if you have an interest in their music.
Amusing bit about the bagpipes on 'It's A Long Way To The Top'. They liked the idea of having pipes on it, but who would play them? Bon Scott say, 'No problem - I was in a pipe band.'
So they get some bagpipes and set them up. Scott is making some terrible noise from them.
'I thought you said you were in a pipe band?' says the manager.
'I was', says Scott. ' I was the drummer.'

When Tony Curtis (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000348/?ref_=tttrv_tr) and Jack Lemmon (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000493/?ref_=tttrv_tr) first put on the female makeup and costumes, they walked around the Goldwyn Studios lot to see if they could "pass" as women. Then they tried using mirrors in public ladies rooms to fix their makeup, and when none of the women using it complained, they knew they could be convincing as women. There is a scene on the train recreating this moment.
A preview audience laughed so hard after Daphne's announcement of the engagement to Osgood, that a lot of the dialogue was missed. It was re-shot with pauses (and the maraca gimmick) added to allow for this.
Supposedly when Orry-Kelly (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0650673/?ref_=tttrv_tr) was measuring all three stars for dresses, he half-jokingly told Marilyn Monroe (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000054/?ref_=tttrv_tr), "Tony Curtis (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000348/?ref_=tttrv_tr) has a nicer butt than you," at which point Monroe pulled open her blouse and said, "Yeah, but he doesn't have tits like these!"
Upon its original release, Kansas banned the film from being shown in the state, explaining that cross-dressing was "too disturbing for Kansans."

I watched that again a couple of weeks back. I've been to the hotel where they filmed, it was the next one down the beach to where I was staying. Still looks exactly the same outside, not sure about inside or if that was just a set on a soundstage - it's very beautiful and ornate inside.

Anita was at the dentist's on Friday to have a tooth out, which broke in two and made the procedure extra painful and she's been dosed up on painkillers since. So last night we had a quiet night in with Netflix, and watched this. Bit of an unfortunate title.

No, that definitely wouldn't be 'safe'.
To celebrate my finishing Phase 1 of redecorating my partner's flat about three weeks ago, we went to see 'Back to Black', a film about Amy Winehouse which had just been released.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/27/Back_to_black_film_poster.jpeg/220px-Back_to_black_film_poster.jpeg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_to_Black_(film)
We both like her singing, and being from Camden, where my partner lives, we had the additional pleasure of recognising many of the places where filming took place.
The film has been panned by critics both professional and amateur. No doubt they were expecting a documentary - but it's not a documentary, it's a 'biopic'. Biopics are often pieces of fiction, loosely based on truth: for example Oliver Stone's film of the Doors, was hardly a documentary!
Only Mark Kermode 'got' it. He rightly describes the film as fantasy - seeing Winehouse's career and her relationship with others (notably her boyfriend) through her eyes, and her eyes only.
“This is a fairytale about a love story in a chaotic destructive environment. Whether you think or not Amy Winehouse's story should be told in this way,” says Mark Kermode in his video review. “I have seen some, I think, foolish one-star reviews, which have taken objection.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzDZ-CwPHvI
Anyway we enjoyed it and were very impressed with Marisa Abela, who not only looked like Winehouse, but sounded like her

Remember when Lovejoy was a guest on 'Vic Reeves Big Night Out?'
But then it turned out that it was just Vic with lines drawn on his face in biro.
Similar to when they had David Bowie on, but it was eventually revealed that it was again just Vic, with an orange sponge taped to his head.

Not seen this since it was first broadcast but I recall it as being the best episode.
Had to put a pin in to watch it as it's 'Age Restricted'. I mean WTF? This show was on at 7 in the evening back in the 70s. I watched them all then and I was about 8. There was a children's annual FFS.
