Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948)

Mildly humorous, with a strangely discordant subplot about suspected marital infidelity. If you are watching it and you begin wondering whether it gets funnier as it goes along, it does not.

This film noir kept me right on the edge of my seat until the last minute! Very exciting though started out rather dull. Watch the entire film. Victor Mature and Diana Dors, the UK's Marilyn Monroe.

One of my all time favorite films! A classic. Everyone planning to build or even renovate their house needs to watch it beforehand.

Wargames from 1983
It's funny because the premise of the movie is about a hacker that challenges an AI to play a game, although the AI thinks it's real, and the thing is, the movie was before the terms "hacker" and "AI" were even used.

Grumpy Old Men
A good, funny movie. Oddly enough, my wife and I were talking about how good Anne Margaret looked for her age, thinking she was the same age as the other actors.... we found she was only 52 at the time. So, actually, she looked kind of old for 52.

Planet of the Apes (1968). I like the concept and the ending, but the execution is painfully 60s. 6.8/10.

GWTW yesterday at the theatre (Regal Cinema). The last time I saw it was also on the big screen in the late '90s, the theatre was packed then.

Yesterday the matinee has pretty full, the first show in the local theater run of three days. We clapped at the end.

This time instead of watching Scarlett I looked at everyone and everything else, the background, the sets, the things in the sets - this was the first time I noticed that the dessert Charles Hamilton got Scarlett at the BBQ looked like caramel cake.

In particular I watched Melanie, Ashley, Mammy and Rhett. Clark Gable is deliciously handsome in every scene, his costumes fit perfectly, his hats, boots, gloves contribute to his overall take your breath away presence. Rhett in the movie is different from Rhett in the book, where he actually is a good-looking scoundrel ladies man. He is ennobled in the movie, of course, he's played by Clark Gable.

The casting is known as perfect - I'm one who likes Lesley Howard as Ashley - and considering how many times I've seen it I was able to see a little bit of acting. In everyone but Hattie McDaniel. She won her Oscar for real, the only person of color, man or woman, to do so until Sidney Poitier in the '60s.

I wasn't expecting to cry but I soaked a tissue.
