Soldiers Three

              Watched this today on TCM. Great stuff! Stewart Granger, Walter Pidgeon and David Niven among others. Funny....I'm a sucker for these movies, comedy or drama, about the British and their military exploits...

The Golden Mask

  Caught this movie recently on TCM. I couldn't help but wonder what it would look like if it was restored as the colors were all washed out. It is a technicolor movie and with the locations where it was shot I'm sure it was glorious at the time of its' release.

Beach Boys-Endless Harmony

Watched this on the Ovation channel over the weekend. Great stuff!

To me it points out how different the group was without Brian. In addition to his voice he was the genius in the studio that they sorely missed without him.

The Four Feathers from Criterion!

http://www.criterion.com/films/27555-the-four-feathers

Great news! The 1939 version of The Four Feathers is getting the royal treatment from the Criterion Collection. Please follow link to the Criterion site.

The Four Feathers is a timeless story of facing your inner demons, cowardice, bravery, and love. Set in the desert, and filmed in glorious technicolor, it is a must see film.

I'm looking forward to the commentary track and the other goodies so I can learn more about this film I love.

Juice Box!

From the movie "Kicking and Screaming". Gotta love it....

Brannigan...

Two from McQ

Great movie-great soundtrack....

Great finale!

For You Know Who....

Ruff & Reddy

The Sing-Along Family

One of my favorite movies...

This movie was filmed in Spain. Who knew it could snow like this in Spain. (Yes it was real snow)
In addition, they built a life size replica of the roman forum. They even built interiors for the buildings that they did not plan to shoot inside! Needless to say, it was extremely expensive and was part of the reason for the downfall of the epic movie at that time. I encourage you to find the two disc special edition. It's fantastic! Full of great extras. The commentary is also very worthwhile which is difficult to imagine when you keep in mind that this is a lengthy epic...

More for You Know Who...

We Miss You John!

Have you ever seen a Cinerama Movie at a Cinerama theatre?

Unfortunately I never saw this movie in actual Cinerama, but it's still impressive projected large with some sub-woofers!

What I'm Watching Today....

Not to be confused with...

The Indian Hills Theatre

http://www.indianhillstheatre.com/




Now that I mentioned the Indian Hills, I thought I should provide some information just in case any visitors do not know about our beloved Indian Hills. It was torn down on August 20, 2001, one day before my birthday. I provided a link to a website about this great theatre. The pictures on the website are good but don't really do the place justice. Shall I tell you the movies I saw there? Dr. Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia, Ben-Hur, Jaws, The Bible, How the West Was Won, Ice Station Zebra, Reds, I can go on and on.

What a loss...

Great movies coming to DVD/Blu Ray this spring...

The Bible, In the Beginning: Saw this movie as a little kid at Indian Hills in Omaha, NE. Indian Hills was Omaha's Cinerama theatre. In the great wisdom of this world they tore it down to create a parking lot...

The Egyptian: Have never seen it. Looking forward to seeing it in it's widescreen glory.

Papillon: Great movie. McQueen and Dustin Hoffman. "Welcome to the penal colony of French Guyana!

I keep coming back to this video time after time. I prefer this version over his original even though his voice is not quite the same. His voice has aged well and he knows how to sell a song...

Happy Valentines Day to My Better Half!

For Mads and Hope

Gotta love The Beatles....

Of course, my daughters want to know "What is the USSR??

If you are in a hurry, the song starts at about 1:45.

When will we get these on an official dvd release???

The King's Speech

Recently I went to the movies with my better half. We both enjoyed the movie. Two thumbs up!

Casino Royale-Bond, James Bond

Theme song from Casino Royale. I'm looking forward to the next James Bond movie due in 2012.

El Cid: Battle for Calahorra

A clip from one of my favorite movies! Highly recommended...Enjoy.

Welcome to my Rambling Mind!

You will soon find that this blog will cover a range of topics....whatever I happen to be interested in at any given time. You may get whiplash from abrupt topic changes. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I hope you like the song. Lightfoot is one of my faves of late.
