If you have access to the TCM schedule, do you know if Outcast of the Islands is upcoming? I thought I'd heard a report to that effect a while back; it's one Carol Reed film I've always been unable to track down. August 22, 8 PM. Has anyone seen Anthony Mann's Reign of Terror (aka Black Book ) off ...

Unfortunately, I didn't get to see Sister Kenny before I deleted it. I've been working my way in a rough chronological order, and still had some that had been sitting on there since January with no action. It's frustrating, because that was my only 1946 Actress nominee still unseen. (Although To Ea...

The VCR / DVR / Streaming Alert Thread

I can post a few alerts, but I hope Damien and Tee and Big Magilla can come up with others that I may be overlooking. I'm focusing mainly on movies that aren't available on DVD, and that don't show up on TV very often. I've been able to get several lately, and have started the process of burning th...

Group 1: I'm sure he'll be rescued, but be gone Gary Cooper! In his place goes Robert Ryan in On Dangerous Ground . (I had a hard time choosing between Ryan and Robert Mitchum in Angel Face .) Group 2: Angel Face over Pat and Mike in Story and Screenplay. On Dangerous Ground over High Noon in Score...

Can't wait until 1961; hopefully I can secure a nomination for what's possibly my favorite film score of all time.

Haven't seen the episode but Glynn Turman's guest spot on In Treatment was supposedly amazing. Even though he isn't a "name", I wouldn't be surprised to see him win the Emmy outright. Getting the nomination is the hard part, because he isn't well known, and they have that silly popular vo...

In an effort to finish this year out... Preserve Wing and A Prayer in Original Screenplay. Replace Dragon Seed in Cinematography (BW) with Jane Eyre . (If we're doing two picks in group two. Which I hope we are otherwise 1944 will go on for another month.) Put Wing and A Prayer in Special Effects o...

I love Jessica Lange, but she clearly won for Tootsie because she would lose to Meryl Streep in the leading category. It is a very solid lineup--easily the best that the 80's would produce. Kim Stanley has her well-deserved PenelopOscar for Seance on A Wet Afternoon , and she wouldn't have been und...

I've been going through 1949 movies off and on this year; I've mostly been limited to what's on DVD, but I've caught a few others (like My Foolish Heart and Colorado Territory ) off of TCM. Most pleasant surprises were Colorado Territory and I Shot Jesse James , while the biggest disappointments we...

If either The Wire or Friday Night Lights gets nominated, I'll be happy with the Emmys for once. They're both on a completely different level than seven of the other eight shows. ( Mad Men I haven't seen--I've got it pre-ordered on Blu-Ray.) Friday Night Lights really deserved a nomination more las...

As usual, some of the shows that bombed at the Tonys are posting a closing notice. Cry Baby ends on Sunday, and A Catered Affair closes on July 27. Harvey Fierstein said the show failed because it was "too challenging" for the audiences. I know it's nothing new, but I kind of hate it when...

I haven't completely finalized things or closed the books on 2007, but I'm finally in the winding-down process. After I'd pretty much written 2007 off as a boring year, I'm glad I picked up again, because it turned out to be quite excellent; probably the best year since at least '01 and maybe '98. ...

1: Preserver Barry Fitzgerald in Supporting Actor. 2.a: Replace Wilson in Original Screenplay with Curse of the Cat People 2.b: Preserve Summer Storm in the Music category. Not because I've seen, but because I can't think of anything else to do, and it's Douglas Sirk, so it probably deserves recogn...
