Archerd hosted a short segment on an old game show called THE MOVIE GAME....first hosted by Sonny Fox and then by Larry Blyden. It was a pretty useless show, but it was fun to see some of the old stars who had completely forgotten some of the movies they did.....

Earl Holliman and Burt Reynolds were great players. Vera Miles said on that show that on one Friday she was cast in HOUSE OF WAX, she came to work on Monday, and Phyllis Kirk was in it....

When I went back downstairs, I finished the episode of LEVERAGE I had started. It was a very exciting and involving one involving a bank robbery that happened while the team was inside doing their own mission. The wonderful writing allowed them to help the people they were trying to help as well as the family who was robbing the bank because the wife was being held hostage. An excellent episode.

I watched that show every chance I could. I remember one round was about movie props, and they pulled out the prop Oscar that Judy Garland used in A STAR IS BORN.

The Great Houdini Dog Escape

No animals were harmed in the making of this video.

Next I pulled another Blu-ray off my unwatched shelf - THE USUAL SUSPECTS. I had read terrible things about the transfer, but I found it just fine. True, the disc is as barebones as they come, so I'll have to keep the Collector's Edition DVD set for the bonus features and commentary, but for a low budget film (and being one of the early Blu-ray transfers), it looked as good or better than I was expecting, and the DTS-HD MA sound was a definite plus.

I ended my evening by watching Helen Mirren's HBO film ELIZABETH I (Part I).

I had been channel flipping and flipped on Cate Blanchette's ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE (which I found a very lacking film), so my appetite was whette to watch something better. I would have watched the Glenda Jackson ELIZABETH R, but my friend Gregg is borrowing it at the moment.

The Vixter's first day of school was fine- she was much annoyed that the President's Speech was not shown to them

I still remember experiencing quite the "mind f*ck" after seeing "The Usual Suspects" and "Seven" back to back. Whoa!

I agree. And what a sensational one-two punch for Kevin Spacey in his movie career!

My eyes are getting kind of heavy, too, so I'm going to head downstairs and go to bed.

Good night!

Oh...

It's Fall SETC time, and I'll be heading down to Charlotte, NC - the land of DR MattH - this coming Friday morning and staying through Monday afternoon.

I'm looking forward to getting my Cheerwine fix!

Very cute! I sent it to my work e-mail so that I can forward it to a couple of people.

Well...

Time to get ready for my overnight trek back to NYC.

Laters...

And Goodnight.

And now, I must leave work and go home. I have some TV watching to do.

Until later.

I am going to watch a few episodes of Man Into Space....and look forward to THE NAKED AND THE DEAD on TCM....I have never seen this particular war movie.

Jane, I'm sorry, I simply can't remember the name. I don't think it was ISLAND AT WAR. Unfortunately I no longer have access to DVD Talk's database so can't look it up. I'll try to remember. I do remember it had someone fairly well known in it, and as soon as I remember who that is, I can look up their credits on IMDb and hopefully recreate it from that. I do remember that one of the main characters was the doctor of the island, whose daughter was part of the resistance. The doctor was forced to become part of the liaison group between the Islanders and the Nazis.

RLP will be so proud of me department: I Googled my way to the answer with virtually no specific search terms, LOL.

It was ENEMY AT THE DOOR, and it did indeed run for two seasons. Here's my review:

MattH and Druxy will probably concur that when you review so many things (I did close to 600 reviews for DVDTalk in just a little over two years, as well as a score or more for Home Theater Forum in just the few months I helped out there), it's really hard sometimes to remember specifics.

I have just seen DISTRICT 9. Quite a lot to think about. BK should be warned however, like THE HANGOVER, this movie contains unseemly bodily functions.
This is probably the most original film I will see all year.

I met a friend over at nearby Aroma - she needed some chocolate and I needed a little break from writing liner notes, which are now finished and off to the designer.

I am writing something. I don't know what it will turn out to be. I've just written three whole pages, however.
