2023 15 comments thursday november 16 2023 thursday movie picks friendship why not talk about somethin nice friendship there are some great stars whonare besties with other stars and have made films together here are some best friends who made some good movies 1 sons of the desert 1933 stan laurel and oliver hardy are a famous comedic team and my dad s favourite comedy team they were also very close friends and when hardy died laurel was so devastated that he was throwing up and could not attend the funeral this film is funny with the 2 friends wanting to attend their lodge event in chicago but their wives have other plans so they do their best to deceive it does not go well it s one of the better films but they had many good films which makes them famous even today 2 hush hush sweet charlotte 1964 this stars bette davis as a imbalanced woman living in a once nice mansion who now seems to be decaying like the mansion her housekeeper seems just as unsteady with the only caring ones being the doctor played by joseph cotton and her cousin played by olivia dehavilland it s considered a horror movie but it s not it s more of a thriller originally joan crawford was to play the cousin but thankfully she left the film and bette s good friend olivia stepped in and i think she is a much better fit yes despite davis s notorious reputation for being very difficult she was always nice to dehavilland and they became good friends off the set this is i believe their 6th pairing 3 the cheyenne social club 1970 this western stars great friends james stewart and henry fonda as 2 cowboy friends on the range when stewart receives a letter saying his brother is dead and stewart inherited his belongings they head out to the town and find the home stewart now owns and it s a home of ill repute headed by shirley jones fonda partakes of each morsel but stewart treats the ladies as ladies this is a funny western movie with a good heart i think it s a fun film and you can see how easy these 2 interact with each other which stars can you think of that are good friends that made a film together posted by birgit at 11 16 2023 26 comments wednesday november 15 2023 friendship i think i

3 1 citizen kane 1941 arguably the best film ever made it s not my favourite but i recognize the greatness of it and it s better in my opinion than the godfather films it starts off with an old man in his castle saying rosebud before letting a snowglobe fall as he died from there a reporter travels to see all the people he used to know to learn bout the man and trying to find out what rosebud meant we get to learn different aspects of this complicated man from each person s perspective of him this film is a must see even from a historical viewpoint and if you read about this film or see a documentary about it it s just as fascinating 2 the barefoot contessa 1954 this film stars humphrey bogart who is the main narrator about this enigmatic woman played wonderfully by ava gardener you realize right away that he is at her funeral and you learn about her through bogie from her first appearance to bogie to her rise in fame from there you learn about her from edmond o brien s character who is a bit of a sleaze in the film industry and finally you learn about her through the eyes of her husband played by pursed lips rossano brazzi it s considered ava gardener s best role and she is brilliant in it because you feel like part of the character is also the actress who was a free spirit 3 knives out 2019 this is a fun film concerning a very rich family whose patriarch has died in a lethal matter you get to know about him played by christopher plumber through the eyes of all the people in his orbit you also learn about each person in the family and what the6 think of the situation it all comes together by the detective played by daniel craig as he speaks to each person a stellar cast with jamie lee curtis toni collette and chris evans as part of the family help create an original film and a funny one too what films can you think of posted by birgit at 11 09 2023 24 comments wednesday november 8 2023 remembrance to the true heroes my dad who was born in barry s bay on in 1913 was part of the stormont dundas and glengarry regiment and maybe he s in this photo i should look at it more closely later on he fought for canada during the 2nd world war was part of the liberation of holland and was in one of the final battles in the reischwald forest where he was wounded near the end of the war i have spoken bout what my mom went through but not my daddy as much i would have asked him a lot more questions if he didn t pass when i was only 23 i wish i could go back in time or go to a holodeck to talk to him but alas i can t remembrance day is this saturday to commemorate the 11th month of the 11th day of the 11th hour when the first world war ended and i thought i would add 3 songs that are all unique but all were big in their day i m joining the monday music moves me which is freebie week 1 in flander s fields originally from 1915 this is a world famous poem written by canadian john mccrea a doctor who wrote this after he lost his good friend alexis helmer during the battle of ypres in 1915 when he noticed how the poppies sprouted around the graves of the canadians he felt compelled to write this poem unfortunately he died of pneumonia in 1918 but his poem lives on in every school since that time i memorized it along with millions of other kids past and present in 1917 american charles ives put these words to music in 1917 2 lili marlene sung by lale andersen 1939 this became a huge hit all over the world not just the germans a version 45 was found by allied forces and they started playing it and it took off it got translated from german into english french etc etc etc this too was based on a poem written in 1915 by hans leip with music by norbert schultz and made very famous by this gal whom i never knew about until now i have to read more about this lady 3 der fuhrer s face sung by this fun film group 1942 the film group who sings this song are hank mann william irving heinie conklin and joe polska with snub pollard as the waiter it became famous by spike jones but i just liked this film bit and thought it was funny what song can you think of that commemorates these true heroes posted by birgit at 11 08 2023 15 comments tuesday november 7 2023 november star of the month virginia mayo birthdate november 30 1920 date of death january 17 2005 aged 84 years old died from pneumonia real name virginia jones she got her last name from a vaudeville act she was in with the mayo brothers who played the front and back end of a horse with miss virginia married once to actor michael o shea affairs howard hughes who didn t get down with this dude possibly ronald reagan children one daughter talent dancing comedic timing dramatic flair known for her beauty where she was labeled the most beautiful blonde in the world the sultan of morocco called her tangible proof of the existence of god this despite she was slightly cross eyed i always liked this actress whom i first saw in one of her many films she made with the legendary danny kaye she seemed more than just a pretty face which was obvious she seemed to know how to hold her own against a scene chewer like kaye she was a great light comedienne so it surprised me when i saw her in white heat plying a slovenly bitch of a wife to james cagney who had no problem snoring it up and looking less than glam she could also dance and loved being in musicals to showcase her dancing although her singing was always dubbed apparently she was one lady who probably had a couple of boyfriends but when she married fellow actor michael o shea that was it and they stayed together until he died in 1973 from a heart attack she never remarried but enjoyed life her daughter and grandkids until she passed away she would talk about her co stars some she loved like gregory peck james cagney and joel mccrea but thought jack palance weird and intense as well as kirk douglas who she didn t care for nor did she care much for burt lancaster well she liked him much more than douglas but thought he was too rough she did like danny kaye and found him funny but she also thought he was bit into himself but she still learned a lot from him i remember her laughing at her older age her weight gain and her career which was no laughing matter i think she is under rated even though she made some duds she made some great ones too even if she was second fiddle to the male star she still shone through films 1 wondermn 1945 2 the kid from brooklyn 1946 3 the best years of our lives 1946 4 the secret life of walter mitty 1947 5 a song is born 1948 6 colorado territory 1949 7 white heat 1949 8 captain horatio hornblower 1951 9 she s working her way through college 1952 her favourite 10 she s back on broadway 1953 posted by birgit at 11 07 2023 10 comments saturday november 4 2023 what i watched in october isn t that a cool tree my friend vj came down for a few days and we had a good time october is the time i watch more scary movies but no slasher flicks i don t like them so this is what i watched movies 1 poltergeist 1982 i have never seen this movie because it looked scary it s stupid if they would not have shown the actual ghosties and kept the coffin people to the pool it would have been better they actually used real skeletons in that mud scene and only told the actress jobeth williams after she completed the scene how nice i would have killed those in charge behind the scenes was much more tragic with the young girl heather o roake dying at age 12 from intestinal stenosis the teenage girl in the movie dominique dunne was murdered by her boyfriend shortly after making this film she was just 16 it s very sad 2 between two worlds 1944 i always think of this film with the title between two worlds which was the title of an earlier film starring leslie howard which i still need to see anyways i spoke about this film a few posts back and love it i had to show this to my friend vj who enjoyed this film it stars paul henreid and eleanor parker as young marrieds in war torn britain he can no longer play the piano due to a hand injury and they can t leave for the states due to lack of passports so he decides to off himself and his wife wishes to be with him meanwhile a group of very different people who were waiting to get on the boat get in a taxi and are blown up in a bomb next thing you see are the couple who realize they are dead but the others do not it becomes a character study with john garfield at his annoying best as an angry reporter his trampy girlfriend a sweet old lady a priest a happy sailor waiting to meet his baby daughter a rich elderly couple an uppercrust image seeking bitch and her poor husband who is sweet a corrupt jerk and the man that seems to be the only employee on the ship played so well by santa i mean edmund gwenn i love this movie 3 ed wood 1994 this is a funny gem of a film with johnny depp playing the lead ed wood classified as the worst director ever he created the horrible masterpiece plan 9 from outer space and the gender bender flick glenn or glenda that starred who cares but he did have bela lugosi who by this time was a druggie worn out and very broke bela was played brilliantly by martin landau who won an oscar for his role and i think he deserved it this is an homage to the director and his love of film 4 the new centurians 1972 yes this is not a horror flick but a movie i enjoyed watching even though it s so 70s you have george c scott as a veteran of the force who is teaching his new partner the works he is played by a young stacy keach it s not a great movie but a standard film that came out during this time and i love that it s gritty and dirty instead of all clean and glass with all the cops looking smart and dressed in gucci you get the feel for these cops on and off the beat tv shows 1 untold story of alice de guy blache i was able to see this gem on our tvo station which is our pbs this lady started creating films right from the very beginning just like the lumiere bothers and george melies you are taken through her life and how she created and changed cinema as we know it but this was a man s world so she had to do her work under her husband s name and later she was just forgotten it s brilliant and a must see in my opinion 2 records 2021 this is an original documentary from tvo about people who just love their record collection which amount to thousands they all have an eclectic taste from the great ...
