June & July at the Movie Morlocks

I haven't been online much the last few months for a number of reasons. First and foremost, I've been having some medical problems with my left eye and spending lots of time on my computer reading, watching vids and writing can often be problematic. My eyes get easily irritated and I'm prone to headaches, etc. … Continue reading June & July at the Movie Morlocks

KEN RUSSELL: IN HIS OWN WORDS

Controversial film director Ken Russell passed away suddenly this week at the age of 84. Russell has long been considered the bad boy of British cinema or the original ‘enfant terrible’ of the empire, but for almost as long as I can remember he’s been one of my favorite filmmakers. I was introduced to his … Continue reading KEN RUSSELL: IN HIS OWN WORDS

John Hughes vs. Shane Meadows: This Is England (2006)

As someone who came of age during the 1980s, I've become increasingly disturbed by the critical response to director John Hughes' recent death. Over and over again I've been told that he was "the voice" of my generation and that he "defined the '80s." Instead of pointing out the crass commercialism that made up the … Continue reading John Hughes vs. Shane Meadows: This Is England (2006)

Modern Mondays: Love Songs (2007)

When I first mentioned that I was going to start "Modern Mondays" at Cinebeats I briefly discussed how much I liked musicals so I thought I'd share a few thoughts about the best musical I've seen in recent years, Love Songs (aka Les chansons d'amour; 2007). Love Songs was directed by the talented French filmmaker … Continue reading Modern Mondays: Love Songs (2007)

Jean-Claude Brialy 1933-2007

R.I.P. Jean-Claude Brialy 1933-2007 I was planning on finally wrapping up my delayed week of celebrating all things French today, but after reading the news that the great French actor Jean-Claude Brialy had passed away I felt compelled to write something about him. Oddly enough my first thoughts went right to Alain Delon since Brialy … Continue reading Jean-Claude Brialy 1933-2007

Celebrating Cannes 60th At Home

Like many people I would love to be in France this weekend, but I'll have to settle for celebrating Cannes 60th Anniversary in the privacy of my own home. In true armchair traveler fashion I thought I'd share some tips on how you can throw your own 1960s-1970s style Cannes Festival at home for yourself … Continue reading Celebrating Cannes 60th At Home

I haven't come across many books written about the early days of Cannes but I can recommend Cannes - Fifty … Continue reading Vive La France!
