A twisted soul of pure evil shows itself in ‘The Unknown’ Not all monsters look like one. Nor are they all made in a laboratory, mutated from radiation or unleashed from hell. Evil can be human. And that’s the worst type of monster, isn’t it? We are born …

Remembering June Lockhart whose lengthy career was filled with many interesting roles. A favorite: "She-Wolf of London," a far better-than-it-should be 1946 psychological horror film.

From ‘The Alamo’ to ‘Bonnie & Clyde,’ true Texas tales shared at ‘It Came from Texas’ film festival Large, star-studded film festivals often focus on, well, the stars. Reports from the red carpet are considered just as important (sometimes more) than the films. And movie fans are often left out b…

If you're a film fan and can get to Texas for the "It Came From Texas" film fest in Garland, go for it. The fact that you can watch "Bonnie & Clyde" and then hear from their relatives is pretty amazing. Kudos to @kellykitpr.bsky.social watchingforever.wordpress.com/2025/09/03/f...

For those new to their classic film journey, before you tune in for TORCH SONG (1953) tonight on #TCM, trivia:

THE BAND WAGON (1953) outtake of Cyd Charisse performing "Two-Faced Woman" was used in TORCH SONG, performed by Joan Crawford (unfortunately, in blackface 🙄).

Rita Moreno is being honored with the George Eastman Award for contributions to the art of cinema on Oct. 29. If you can get a ticket, it’s well worth the trip to an Eastman event in the intimate Dryden Theatre in Rochester, NY.

One of my favorite shirts I ever owned said: So many books, so little time. I thought of that when I read Raquel's lengthy list of new classic film books.

I recently canceled my Netflix account that I started when I was getting a single DVD in the mail. I had considered it for a very long time because of content and cost but thought I would miss it. I don’t.

How I learned to watch – and enjoy – TCM’s ‘Summer Under the Stars’ I love Turner Classic Movies. Better yet, I am devoted to Turner Classic Movies. That must be said right at the top of this piece because I am about to make a confession you won’t like: I was not a…

Truth time: I didn't always tune in during @tcmtv.bsky.social #SummerUndertheStars if I wasn't a big fan of the actor - then the obvious hit me and now I watch all the time. Plus sharing some highlights of this year's sked.

#Moonstruck was a funny and lovely piece of nostalgia when it was made. So much of it felt like it came from life with my giant Italian-Catholic family. It somehow feels more poignant today - and somehow even funnier. #TCMParty

This scene of Cher on her own with that glass of wine, roaring fire, soft jazz and her new clothes is surprisingly romantic. #TCMParty #Moonstruck
