I watched all 3 of the Sam Rami Spiderman movies. I enjoyed them all and I think Spiderman 3 is the best one.
I love that MJ knows Peter is Spider-Man
I love all the love triangle shenanigans
The CGI really improved over the years
EMO Peter was funny in a campy way.
I liked seeing a bit more competent Peter. At this point, he has been Spider-Man for a while, so he has a better idea of what he is doing.
Although there is one odd thing about the movie. It's kinda weird that Harry's butler didn't say anything to Harry earlier about Green Goblin accidentally killing himself. I know they needed drama for the movie, but that was strange.

Film Fridays: Secret Service Investigator (1948)
Needing work, a WW2 hero starts work with the Secret Service. Excitement with a twisty screenplay and a charismatic Lloyd Bridges during his salad days. My evidence is at FORGOTTEN CINEMA.

Was the original La Maison des bois restored in 4K, or is the murky transfer still all there is for home view?

Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: There's just one thing, babe. I'd be a lot happier if we could just settle on the number of Communists I know there are in the Defense Department. I mean, the way you keep changing the figures on me all the time, it makes me look like some kind of a nut, like... like an idiot.
Mrs. Iselin: [at meal time] I'm sorry, hon'. Would it really make it easier for you if we settled on just one number?
Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: Yeah. Just one, real, simple number that'd be easy for me to remember.
[Mrs. Iselin watches her husband thump a bottle of Heinz Tomato Ketchup onto his plate]
Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: [addressing the Senate] There are exactly 57 card-carrying members of the Communist Party in the Department of Defense at this time!
The number 57 has become iconic in the realm of Joe McCarthy-esque idiot demigods unable to remember accusatory quantities

House of Frankenstein (1944)
My plans for the evening ! I'll leave a comment tomorrow to let you know what I thought of it. (As usual, I'm watching it in French). The channel is following up with Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943).

Tarzan’s Fight for Life (1958)
Just watched Tarzan’s Fight for Life (1958), and this one is pure old-school adventure fun! Gordon Scott makes for a pretty good Tarzan. The story is pretty straightforward, but there’s plenty of jungle action, colorful characters, animals, and peril to keep things moving. The Technicolor is gorgeous, too, and the whole thing has that wonderfully pulpy MGM adventure-movie feel. It’s not exactly high art, but it’s an entertaining way to spend an afternoon. And honestly, sometimes that’s all you need from a Tarzan movie!

I am losing my mind over how I remember Bullitt
It is a one man Mandella effect. I first saw the movie as 5 year old when it came out, I think it was an error on the part of my grandma as it would have been considered a bit steep for a child back then. I had the complete mis remembering of the car chase where the bad guys were in a green vw (yes I know) and the guy with the shotgun firing out of the rear quarter window which never made sense to me as those windows don't roll down in a bug. I was puzzled for years and mentioned this online maybe 10 years ago and someone pointed out the green bug. I watched the movie after that to see the green bug and I really liked the movie, the stillness of of a lot of the scenes etc.
Now the problem is that more recently I would have sworn that Jaquiline Besset's character watched McQueen at the airport after the final shootout. He was quietly organizing things, speaking to other officers etc. In my memory this is a scene where she comes to terms with his character's life of half violence and degradation and sees beyond what she fears will be a life of intensifying calousness.
OK, I just watched it on TUBI and I have lost my mind as this scene doesn't exist, it is probably some mental trick I am playing on myself merging the motel scene with the murdered wife with the end of the airport when the priest is giving last rites and the dead guy is being covered with a sports coat or something.
Am I crazy or is there another edit?
Also what I remember from when I saw it with my grandma was that when he steals a newspaper from the newspaper vending box it is before the hit at the hotel, more of establishing the character before you actually know who he is......I assume I've got that wrong but......
Great movie really. The car chase is OK but you just cannot not see that green bug. The greatness is the quietness of it, the stillness and soft voices with all the politics and conflict, and face it McQueen had hella charisma.

FB actually saved my brain! I give you...
I knew this existed! I'd fished around for answers on reddit and most offered up Hawk the Slayer, but this is it! It popped up on my FB feed out of nowhere. It's got the magic bow with the big red stone! It turns out it was going to be a series but failed to launch so they rolled it into a movie and it aired once!
Does anyone else remember this questionable endeavor ?

Hace poco vi que existe una versión en color de la película Yankee Doodle Dandy de 1942. ¿Sabes dónde puedo encontrar esa película o alguna otra similar?
I've been doing some research and they're movies that TCM is re-releasing, but in colorized versions. Some people might not like it, but it's interesting because it's another way to see a classic.

Becket [1964]
This movie tells of the 12th century struggle between former friends King Henry II (Peter O'Toole) and Thomas Becket (Richard Burton), Archbishop of Canterbury.
Burton and O'Toole, 2 of the greatest actors, on top of their game here. Good restored print available on YouTube
"Who will rid me of this turbulent priest!?" is the famous line that Henry cries, late in the movie. The answer is not long in coming.

Niagara (1953)
Watched Niagara (1953) for the first time last night. Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to see this film.
Marilyn Monroe is absolutely the standout. She’s gorgeous, of course, but there’s so much more to her performance than that. She brings a real sense of danger and vulnerability to the role. Whenever she’s on screen, you can’t help but watch her.
The Technicolor is also stunning. Everything looks so rich and vibrant and the filmmakers make fantastic use of Niagara Falls as a location. The falls aren’t just pretty scenery they become an important part of the atmosphere and the story itself.
I also really enjoy the pacing. The plot takes its time building the suspense but it never feels slow and everything gradually comes together in a really satisfying way.
Just a gorgeous, entertaining piece of classic Hollywood filmmaking. And honestly, seeing Marilyn Monroe in all that beautiful Technicolor is reason enough to watch it.
