A Magnificent Life is a biography of a renowned French writer and filmmaker, so Carsten says there’s absolutely no reason we should be getting a selection of British-accented voice actors and not the original French with subtitles:

Totter Noir Watch: Under the Gun (1951) Watched:  03/29/2026Format:  Sketchy Russian Site/ Archive.orgViewing:  FirstDirector:  Ted Tetzlaff So, because the studios are dumb and don't make their older movies easily available, I watched this on a sketchy Russian site (link above).  And I wanted to watch this movie. In fact, I would have paid real American dollars to watch this movie.   "Why watch this one?" you ask.  It has (in order ot interest) Audrey Totter, Richard Conte, Sam Jaffe and John McIntire.  And was a crime flick I'd not seen discussed anywhere except for one still I saw go by on social media a couple of months back. Conte plays a mobster who has gone to Miami from NYC, and while there found singer Audrey Totter,* who he plans to bring back to New York and make a star.  Totter is wary, but knows this could be her big break, and so jumps in a car with Conte and his two heavies. The group stops off in a small town on the Florida/ Georgia state line and apparently old business comes back to haunt him as a former victim tries to get him, but Conte gets the drop on him and shoots him dead while Totter watches.  At the trial, Totter gets a bout of conscience and says he murdered the guy (debatable, but okay) and Conte goes to prison. Mostly it's a prison movie as Conte manipulates his situation in a Southern prison farm, eventually becoming a trustee who watches the other prisoners work, and even has a rifle to stop them should they escape.   If you want a movie where Conte is an absolute menace, this is the one.  I always think it's a shame Conte is kind of forgotten outside of portions of the classic film scene - he's terrific in everything I've seen him in, and Hollywood had a ton of roles for him during this era.   Totter doesn't have that much to do here, which is wild as she's kind of coming off some leading roles and her range is in no doubt.  Maybe she just wanted to go to Florida, where the movie was filmed on location in Clay County.   Sam Jaffe plays a fellow prisoner who knows Conte is manipulating him into a deadly corner, and John McIntire once again plays the stalwart lawman.   I'm not sure why this particular movie seems like its been shelved.  It's got name talent, a good enough premise and a pretty solid ending.  But these things rarely make sense to me.   Also - there are multiple movies named "Under the Gun" and it struck me how funny it would be to watch all of them, but I don't think I'll do that. *she's brunette in this, but it does nothing to change her Totteriness https://signal-watch.com

A ★★ review of Cleopatra (1934) I was interested to see this because I've enjoyed Warren William's performances in so many other movies. And that's true to a lesser extent for Claudette Colbert. So even though I don't get a lot of e...

Cleopatra (1934) was worth watching for the lead actors' performances. It was worth watching for that, mostly. It's just not my kind of movie. #MovieReview #FilmSky

#MovieReview: #TheyWillKillYou. Cool idea that doesn't quite reach its potential. Stylistically, it's great and I love how it's shot — especially fight scenes. Given that there's only a handful of essential characters, a higher body count would have been nice. Still, a fun flick overall. #Horrorsky

The Pedagogy of the Punisher: An Analysis of The Substitute Franchise as Subversive Satire and Militarized Hyper-Reality The mid-1990s represented a unique intersection in American cinematic history, where the “inspirational teacher” subgenre — characterized by films such as Dangerous Minds (1995), Lean on Me (1989),…

The Substitute plays like a straight-faced action thriller, but it’s really an unhinged satire. The film and its sequels expose the fantasy at the heart of “teacher as savior” by taking it too far and never blinking.

Watched Thursday Murder Club. Solid beginning and middle, but it felt like it tried to wrap things too quickly at the end. I like Knives Out style movies and this book is immaculate, so I still had fun with it, but I don't know how well it would land for unfamiliar audiences.

Apeman Watch: Tarzan and the She-Devil (1953) Watched:  03/28/2026Format:  TCMViewing:  FirstDirector:  Kurt Neumann I wasn't planning to watch Tarzan and the She-Devil (1953), but had it on, and Cheetah the Chimp was carrying a rifle and I was like "yeah, okay...  I'll finish this movie".   This isn't Johnny Weissmuller, it's Lex Barker* as Tarzan and Joyce MacKenzie as Jane.  It also co-stars Raymond Burr(!) as a Great White Hunter-type, Tom Conway as a cuckold and Monique van Vooren as Lyra, the titular She-Devil.   Lyra is mostly just a woman of means who knows her own mind and doesn't let men dictate her life, which makes her a She-Devil.  She also would like to be on Tarzan, but that's par for the course in these movies.   Basically it's a movie about some rich assholes trying to exploit Tarzan's elephant pals for the ivory trade, and those same assholes are happy to enslave Tarzan's pals and press them into work helping them.  Tom Conway almost kills Jane as they plan to use her as a bargaining chip to get Tarzan to help them, but she escapes.   Anyway, it's full of footage of real animals doing animal things, including a real boa constrictor killing a real lion.  Crazy, man. Weirdly, this movie just doesn't use Black people.  In 2026, it feels both racist to show Black people as the typical Tarzan supporting tribesmen, but also it feels weird seeing a white guy named "Henry Brandon" playing an African Chief.  And then having Jane say "I haven't seen a white woman in forever!" when, girl, you just left a scene full of white and Hispanic women.  Also - these folks all use boomerangs?  Can you see the strings?  1000%.   It does end when the elephants in question trample and kill most of the bad guys.   I never know how to discuss old Tarzan movies.  They're terribly goofy and watchable - swinging wildly between antics of a trained baby chimp to stock footage of real animals committing real atrocities on each other.  It's all very high adventure, which is deeply entertaining if you separate it from the real world.   I grew up thinking Tarzan was the best (and, no, not the Disney version which I saw in the theater as an adult), so I have a hard time not continuing in that tradition despite the relatively bad taste of the character.  But it's still a kick to see Tarzan swing on a vine, call animals, and beat hell out of encroaching bad guys. *probably most famous in 2026 for his brief marriage to Lana Turner https://signal-watch.com
