Here are some highlights for all things film-related in the month of June.
ON THE BIG SCREEN
Much Ado About Nothing – looking forward to a Whedon treatment of one of my favorite plays written by The Bard.
Man of Steel – like I said previously this is one that I have come to anticipate.
IN TCM LAND
Starring Eleanor Parker – known to me first as the “would be stepmom” to the Von Trapp children, I was happy to know that she has had a long and varied career that includes several films that I rank very highly. Here are a few of my picks for must-see TV:
- Caged (1950) June 10th @ 8:00PM
- The Woman in White (1948) June, 11 2013 at 09:30 AM
- Detective Story (1951) June, 24 2013 at 08:00 PM
- The Oscar (1966) June, 25 2013 at 09:45 AM – by all accounts a film so bad it might just be good.
- The Man With the Golden Arm (1955) June, 24 2013 at 01:45 AM
Friday Night Spotlight: Noir Writers –Really I could watch all of them but I will just list a few of particular interest to me.
