  • 7 New Powers for the New and Improved Superman!

     I sometimes marvel at the sweetly archaic portrayal of Superman in the movies. And I always secretly wish the New and Improved Superman had some new powers more appropriate for our day and age and more in tune with the spirit of the times.Yes, to see through the walls, saving schoolchildren trapped in burning schoolbuses and stopping bullets is cool, but how about these new powers?More

  • Sports – World Soccer Cup 2006 – From a UFO Log Book

     Our UFO has landed quietly last night in a densely populated coordinate at a region humans refer to as “Germany.” This particular congregation was generating so much noise we were compelled to study the anomaly.As we approached the boiling source of haphazard frequencies, our superb training took over.More

  • Movie Review - The Squid and the Whale (2005)

     I've been a Jeff Daniels fan for a long time.This is yet another great Jeff Daniels movie based on a very strong script by Noah Baumbach who also directed this family drama. Bernie Berkman (Daniels) is an English professor married to another writer Joan (delivered with great texture by Laura Linney).More

  • Movie Review - The Philadelphia Story (1940)

     A romantic comedy classic directed by George Cukor and adapted to the screen by Donald Ogden Stewart from Philip Barry's Broadway hit play.Although Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart share top billing with Katherine Hepburn, this is clearly Hepburn's movie. The story revolves around her profound transformation from an “ice queen” to a warm human being who discovers what true love is -- which proves to be her ultimate salvation.More

  • Movie Review - Indiscreet (1958)

     A romantic comedy that takes place (like a few other Cary Grant pictures) in the world of British upper class, among well-bred and prosperous ladies and gentlemen whose chief anxiety is a good life lived alone, with no one worthy to share. That's when we forget that we are removed from this distant “parallel universe” by a class differential of galactic proportions and comfortably internalize the human drama at the core of the story regardless of our own socioeconomic background.(Note: if you'd like to watch Cary Grant in his most aristocratic role ever, see GRASS IS GREENER (1960).More

  • Movie Review - The Grass Is Greener (1960)

     As aristocratic a romantic comedy as it gets in which Cary Grant, raised dirt poor as “Archie Leach” in Bristol, England, plays Earl Victor Rhyall, a British nobleman living in a salmon pink castle with his wife Lady Hilary Rhyall (played by Deborah Kerr). The palpable Grant-Kerr chemistry that made AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER (1957) such a success is here at play too and probably the chief factor that somewhat salvages this otherwise forgettable flick.The Rhyalls are a part of the British nobility but their finances could be better.More

  • Movie Review - Firewall (2006)

     Haven't we seen this movie before? Wasn't there another movie in which Harrison Ford was again trying to defend his family against rude intruders crashing into his home uninvited? Was it called “Patriot Games (1992)”?More

  • Movie Review - People Will Talk (1951)

     This is such a curious and astonishing film that it's hard to decide whether it's a classic gem or a bungled effort to deliver a number of political messages through the “motion picture” format.Directed and written by Joseph L. Mankiewicz (adapted from a play by Curt Goetz), the film features the university doctor Prof.More

  • Movie Review - The Night of the Iguana (1964)

     A timeless classic directed and co-written by John Houston from another great stage play by Tennessee Williams. Anthony Veiller was Houston's co-writer. An unqualified 10 out of 10 despite the fact that it won no Oscars except for the “Best Costume Design, Black-and-White” for Dorothy Jeakins.More

  • Movie Review - Operation Petticoat (1959)

     A rather average Blake Edwards comedy released the same year as that other Cary Grant movie that would destined to become a classic of all times – NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959). OPERATION PETTICOAT is written by Stanley Shapiro and Maurice Richlin.The film is one long flashback of Admiral Sherman (Cary Grant) who used to be the first captain of an old WW2 sub about to be commissioned.More
