LiamCasey Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Scrooge (1935) - YouTube A cinematic version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol that I've not seen previously. I am unfamiliar with Seymour Hicks who portrays the title character but online information indicates that Claude Rains makes an uncredited appearance as Jacob Marley. The latter is sufficient for me to take a chance on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopBilled Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I picked this one up on Blu Ray but have yet to get around to watching it. I thoroughly enjoyed MR. HOLMES. It was a chance for Ian McKellen to work again with Bill Condon, who had directed him in GODS AND MONSTERS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Watching some Inspector Lewis episodes on Amazon Prime. I never watched the parent show that Lewis was spun off from, but I do enjoy these stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutoo Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Last night I decided to dive into the Amazon Prime series by Woody Allen, Crisis in Six Scenes. I could only manage two...I haven't read any of the reviews, and didn't know what to expect..classic Allen humor and satire or blah. Pretty much blah. Allen has decided to pack every 60s stereotype together and toss in some one liners to remind us it's all a joke. Yes, he's the one funny character in sea of stiffs, and that's okay, but he left out the nuance this time. If one character had been interesting enough to keep watching, I would've, but the addition in part two of Miley Cyrus delivering lines like someone flatly reading a cereal box had me stumped..and done. Anyone else watching this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickAndNora34 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye (1950): starring Mr. James Cagney, and William "Fred Mertz" Frawley as a prison guard.This is one of the old films I've found on YouTube that I have included into a personal playlist. It's my goal to continue watching old movies, as I have only seen about 378 within the past 4 years. (I am attempting to keep track so that I can see how many old movies I can watch within my lifetime; can you tell I have next to nothing to do with my life as of the moment?) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedracer5 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Because Hallmark channel insists on showing 24 hours of the same Christmas movie over and over again and have deprived me of my evening of 'Golden Girls,' I'm watching my Season 5 DVDs. This season has the hilarious episode where Blanche writes her romance novel. I just finished the episode where Blanche's daughter wants to get artificial insemination. Now I'm watching the episode where Rose loses her husband's pension and has to look for work and ends up working for Enrique Mas. From the episode where Blanche's daughter wants to get artificial insemination: DOROTHY: We all conceived our children in a different way. I was totally unconscious. When I woke up, there was Stan carving a notch in his dashboard. SOPHIA: I never bought that unconscious story. DOROTHY: I swear. He must have slipped me something. SOPHIA: Apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye (1950): starring Mr. James Cagney, and William "Fred Mertz" Frawley as a prison guard. There's a discussion about this film, and others like it, in the Film Noir sub-forum. I had also watched it on YouTube a few months ago, and I was curious if people considered it a noir or a late-cycle gangster picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I'm watching a film on Amazon I'd never seen before. Not sure why this one isn't better known or raved about more often, but I love it. Later on I may end up doing a full-scale review in the Essentials forum. One of William Holden's best: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SansFin Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I have just watched thirteen episodes of: Qumi-Qumi (2012). I had heard of the concept many years ago and wondered if it was ever to be used as the basis of a series. I discovered the episodes by accident on: Ovguide on: Roku. This is a charming little animated series. It is one of those which is denoted as being for children but adults can find it quite enjoyable. It is of three friends who should not be friends because they are from different tribes. Yusi is a girl who uses technology. Shumadan is a boy in a communist/military tribe. He has a crush on Yusi. Juga is a magical-warrior-in-training who has a crush on Yusi also. It is a Russian series but they speak a made-up language with a smattering of English words. I am returning now to watching all of first six seasons of: Perry Mason on: CBS-All-Access. I do not know why three seasons are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still watch an episode now and then, and my favorites remain 'the fun girls', 'barney's car' and the escaped women prisoners episodes..any that feature a lot of Barney. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I find the episodes hit-or-miss. I don't care for some of the philosophy the stories promote. But I think the performances are usually charming. And I'm probably in the minority but I prefer the episodes after Don Knotts left. It goes from being 'The Misadventures of Barney Fife' to being 'Mayberry U.S.A.' and I feel the show is richer when we see other stories in this type of community.

speedracer5 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Based on the suggestion from my friend Arturo here on the boards, I recorded A Letter to Three Wives. I am watching it right now and am enjoying it very much! I didn't realize that Kirk Douglas was in this film. I'm really liking Jeanne Crain here and I was somewhat indifferent to her before. I read somewhere that Anne Baxter was in this film, but she doesn't seem to be here? Maybe she was in the film in the preliminary stages? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
