A few years ago, I noticed my daughter using cations when watching TV shows. I found cations to distract me when she left it on. Are our movies getting louder?
I got TCM as my go-to station. My PVR is working overtime recording each week movies that matter. I value all the host's information about the movies that are about to show. Alicia Malone is a welcome addition to the station. Her keen movie sense brings a unique spin each week to movies we cherish. I am very excited to know she just released, Girls on Film: Witty Life Lessons from Alicia Malone from Mango Publishing. I am a fan of the hosts on TCM, nice to see Alicia share a bit more about herself through the movies she watches. Life imitates art some will say, Alicia, is just as glamourous as the film's actresses that she showcases each week. She is a jewel in the TCM family. This is one book you will not want to miss.
If you watch Noir Alley and read Eddie Muller's Dark City revised and expanded edition, you will be blasted with a cornucopia of information about the origins and politics of the Film Noir from all the creators. The creators lived lives as complicated as their characters. Muller's book is more than a picture book, it's the top book on Film Noir movies. Muller has single-handed created a Film Noir universe, from actors to writers, many jumped from movie to movie. Dark City is a great read into old Hollywood and a genre long gone, often imitated, never duplicated. I never put down Dark City, Muller is a wordsmith of the highest caliber. This is the definitive book on Film Noir.
