VERY dated, but lots of fun (and the origin of the expression, "pink with green stars" ).

Watched, Earth Girls are Easy, the other night. The last two Matrix movies and Avengers lately. The Cell, turned move from a Steven King book was good.

Have a lot more recorded, because I can hardly watch All Corona, All the Time anymore.

Watched it yet again on Turner Classic Movies last night. A genuine film noir classic, directed by Billy Wilder, script co-written by Raymond Chandler, starring Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, and Edward G. Robinson, all in glorious black-and-white. Seduction, murder, and insurance policies. Enjoy.

I saw again about 2 weeks back. Another Billy Wilder gem with Jack Lemmon. Walter Matthau steals the show with his best supporting actor win.

Good old Hitchcock film with Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine that I haven't seen too many times, on the Movies! channel. Later on they'll show "Bonnie and Clyde" which is a classic but kinda violent.
Svengoolie will show "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman" tonight, that should be a hoot.

Watched Richard Burton as "Alexander the Great" this morning. How could they make a big spectacle movie so boring? Oh well. The Oliver Stone version wasn't anything to write home about either.

and took selfies with a huge wax figure of Alfred Hitchcock outside one of the little downtown stores. It was cool! We also took pictures of the church and the house (was the school). We love Hitchcock, too.

husband what we're going to watch when we're done to match that excitement. He's seen each several times and still loves them.
