Discussion of popular movies, obscure VHS faves, & genre films

Tag: Sony Pictures Choice Collection

‘Queen Bee’ (1955): Does this lurid melodrama reflect Joan Crawford’s real-life persona?

“It makes me terribly cross when people oppose me.”Amen, Joan. Amen.

‘Harriet Craig’ (1950): A creepy exercise in sublimated hysteria

‘Jacqueline Susann’s The Love Machine’ (1971): Aggressively inept, trashy schlock (thank god)

Awfulness like this is rare—it needs to be acknowledged and celebrated.

‘Confessions of a Pop Performer’ (1975): Brit sex comedy by future Bond screenwriter still a hoot

At Christmastime, if I’ve been a good boy, I usually get a couple of movie and TV books to enjoy during the more relaxed, quiet days of the holiday (before the inevitable New Year’s Eve brawl).

‘Drive-In’ (1976): Summer fun from a bygone era

Sony’s Choice Collection, their manufactured-on-demand DVD service for old Columbia Pictures library and cult titles, is still pumping out the discs, including one just right for these warm summer nights: Drive-In, the 1976 Columbia Pictures sleeper hit featuring a largely unfamiliar cast of fresh faces.
