50s beatnik downtown jazz witches. Jack Lemmon is a tom-tom playing warlock. Kim Novak walks around barefoot on shag carpet in black capris. Jimmy Stewart is the charming and befuddled object of her affections. It’s Christmas. And there’s always snow on the ground. Seriously what more could one possibly want in a movie. Feels like the TO CATCH A THIEF of witch movies. Or maybe a grownup version of BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS.

It’s really a movie about getting stupid ridiculous plastic surgery and falling in love with Lauren Bacall which honestly may be the move. it’s also fun to get really into film noir to the extent you can’t speak to people anymore because you cant stop saying shit like “look it, see”

If you love extravagant costume design “What A Way To Go” is a must! The dark comedy features a dynamic protagonist, Shirley McLane, alongside her lovers (hunks Dick Van Dyke and Paul Newman to name a few) finding tragic ends and ridiculous circumstances with fabulous set designs and fashions. Enjoy!

Aka. DDLJ. Sweet funny engrossing love story featuring two of the most good-looking and charismatic people to ever do it. Amazing music sequences. Kajol. Lata Mangeshkar. Shah Rukh Khan. Plus the Bellamy is straight up Gaston from B&tB. It’s awesome. I laughed. I cried. It’s a perfect gateway into Bollywood.

It’s fun and wacky and feels like living inside the movie. And it’s full of SoCal wish-fulfillment. (And unlike some Pynchon it’s never a grind to read.)

A delightful (82-minute) screwball (with a super-weird title). The movie made me wonder: was Molly Ringwald the reincarnation of Ginger Rogers?! She’s great here. It even features a scene where she competes in a dance contest!
