Robin Hood: Ducking and Diving
*spoilers* First episode in two weeks!! Tonight's episode quite simply rocked. First, the guest stars: David Bamber (the one and only MR. COLLINS from the Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice!!!) as the leech-loving doctor… -

Jane Powell movies!
I'm finally getting around to watching the films in Classic Musicals from the Dream Factory, Vol. 3. There's a Jane Powell double feature - Nancy Goes to Rio and Two Weeks with Love, both from MGM in 1950. Nancy Goes to… -

this-n-that
So I finally got my internet back today. Monday afternoon there was an awful storm and evidently the cable box outside was struck by lightning and blew out my modem (which I've only had like three months!). I've been ext… -

Indiana Jones
I went and saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night with Lori, Kaye, Ticia, and a few of Ticia's friends. I am relieved to say I actually liked it. Overall, I found it entertaining, humorous, and… -

Robin Hood and Cranford
Tonight's Robin Hood ep, "The Angel of Death," was great...nothing like a mass poisoning to make things interesting. Will's character is getting some nice development, thank goodness. His father & brother return t… -
Prince Caspian
*possible spoilers* Saw Prince Caspian with Kaye & Lori tonight. I loved it!! Overall I think it's a much more cohesive film than The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The story is streamlined and the film builds w… -

This week in Frank (Sinatra)
TCM is continuing their month-long tribute to Frank Sinatra Sunday and Wednesday. Here's tonight's schedule: Frank Sinatra: The Man and His Music, Part II (1966) - Not much to say here except Sinatra sings = bliss. It… -
Robin Hood: Child Hood
*spoilers* While last week's episode was a fun and hilariously random, this week's ep was oh so much better. This ep was all about Guy (yummy! ) and his plan to have indestructible armor made, which the Sheriff wan… -
Kings Go Forth
So I just finished watching Kings Go Forth...recorded it when TCM aired it as part of their month-long tribute to Ol' Blue Eyes. I can't stand it when I get invested in a movie and then I don't get ENOUGH CLOSURE!!! … -

Cranford Part One
I am absolutely loving Cranford. It's the first true ensemble drama I've seen on Masterpiece Theatre in, oh...I don't know when. It's beautifully filmed, wonderfully acted, and utterly and completely absorbing. Cranfo… -
Cranford
This is ridiculous. There are way too many of my filmic obsessions to deal with this month - Robin Hood, Masterpiece Classic, and Frank Sinatra as TCM's Star of the Month (lots more on that last one later!). After a sh… -
Robin Hood: Booby and the Beast
*spoilers* Well tonight's episode of Robin Hood was wildly entertaining. The writer who thought up the brilliant idea of turning Nottingham into an early incarnation of Las Vegas (and got paid for the idea, no less) was… -
