Now Watching

Hi! I'm crazy about film and here's what you'll find on this blog: You will see posters, lobby cards, screencaps, gifs, photographs, trailers, film clips, and audio from films that I am watching for the very first time. The majority of films that I watch are classic films (mostly from the 1920s-1960s), on most Thursdays I watch b-films (usually sci-fi and horror) along with the @DriveInMob on Twitter so you'll see posts related to those kinds of films popping up. I also watch contemporary films though not as often as I watch classics, and when I have the time and money I sometimes watch films that are currently playing in theatres. Basically there's a bit of everything, so if you love films click on "follow" ;-)

A ★★ review of Stealing Home (1988)

Kinda boring. A film focusing on Katie probably would’ve been more interesting.

An important subject but as far as filmmaking goes it’s just your basic documentary.
