| Bamboozled ~ 2000 | It's hard to watch but life is. Black, white or gray: do yourself a favor. See this. |
| Bear ~ SERIES ~ 2023 | Lip to Bear, Jeremy Allen White is altogether there. |
| Before Night Falls ~ 2000 | Solid art, finish from start. |
| Better Call Saul ~ SERIES ~ 2015 |
| Billy Elliot ~ 2000 | Seasons of Budd, Dee Williams, Eckstein, Joel, "where have you been?" Reasons for frowns on faces of today's young (and old) men (and women). |
| Black Nativity ~ 2014 | Forest Whitaker and Angela Bassett are spellbinding. Jacob Latimore reminds me of young Nick Cannon. Such a fine film! |
| Blues Brothers 2K | Way to Be, Mr. A. |
| Borderline ~ 1950 ~ BWINC |
| Boy ~ 2010 | Enjoy! |
| Breakfast of Champions ~ 1999 | Could be the funniest and saddest thing ever seen, a poignant hoot with Nolte in drag, Willis crazy as a coot, and Albert Finney the best Kilgore Trout imaginable spouting all the Vonnegut Jr. verbally pure poetry and rebel babble, both bathos and pathos, if you know what I mean. |
| Breaking Bad ~ SERIES ~ 2008 |
| Broadway Melody of 1940 ~ 1940 | Observations on Eleanor Powell. After this movie, Fred Astaire never wanted her as a partner again and never explained why. Is this because Fred believed only one dancer should command center stage? And yet the two of them danced beautifully alike; you see a double image. Is this because he objected to heavy thighs. Fred's partners before Eleanor: sister Adele, Claire Luce, Dorothy Stone, Joan Crawford, Ginger Rogers, Joan Fontaine; his partners after Eleanor: Ginger Rogers, Paulette Goddard, Virginia Dale, Marjorie Reynolds, Rita Hayworth, Joan Leslie, Lucille Bremer, Gene Kelly, Judy Garland, Ann Miller, Joan Caulfield, Olga San Juan Vera-Ellen, Betty Hutton, Jane Powell, Sarah Churchill, Leslie Caron, Audrey Hepburn, Janis Paige, Cyd Charisse, Barrie Chase, Petula Clark. I don't think Fred gave a bean about the size of thighs. Eleanor had charming dimples. MOre to the point as Fred said in his autobiography, "She put 'em down like a man, no ricky-ticky-sissy stuff with Ellie. She really knocked out a tap dance in a class by herself." |
| Bullets over Broadway ~ 1994 | Parlors for beauty, sweatrooms with lockers, checkered tiles, lazy rivers, art without compromise, sheer Woody. |
| Call My Agent ~ SERIES ~ 2015 ~ France |
| Car Wash ~ 1976 | One of the best movies of all time. That I say so little proves what a lazy bum I'm. |
| Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ~ 1958 | Liz is a gorgeous Maggie; Paul is a sexy Brick; Burl is a grand Big Daddy; Dame Judith is Big Mama with schtick. But Jack Carson and Madeline Sherwood as Goober and Sisterwoman? The no-neck clan? And in 1958? Whoa, too human; too great! William H. Macy and Jack Carson cross contemporary boundaries. Am I right or is it too late? |
| Cool Hand Luke ~ 1967 ~ BWINC |
| The Crown ~ SERIES ~ 2016 ~ UK | Whodunit mystery and history -- the British do it best. |
