THE LION IN WINTER (1968) Grade: B

Such an interesting movie. Like a coming home for holidays movie but with a royal family. Had some funny light hearted moments and a crazy good cast. Great dialogue.

"A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" (1958) Review

"A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" (1958) Review There have been many versions about the April 1912 sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic. Many versions. And I have personally seen at least five of them. One of them happened to be the 1958 movie, "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER".

Directed by Roy Ward Baker, "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" is based upon historian Walter Lord's 1955 book about the historical sinking. Since the 1958 movie was based upon a historical book instead of a novel, Baker, producer William MacQuitty and screenwriter Eric Ambler approached the film's plot in a semi-documentary style. Even the movie's leading character turned out to be the Titanic's Second Officer, Charles Lightoller, who was portrayed by actor Kenneth More. The movie also featured other historical figures such as J. Bruce Ismay, Thomas Andrews, Captain Edward J. Smith and Margaret "Molly" Brown. Due to this semi-documentary approach, "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" is regarded as the best movie about the Titanic. I cannot deny that there is a great deal to admire about "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER". Not only do I feel it is an excellent movie, I could see that Roy Ward Baker did his best to re-create that last night aboard the Titanic. He and Ambler gave the audience glimpses into the lives of the ship's crew and passengers. The movie also went into great detail of their efforts to remain alive following the ship's brief collision with an iceberg. Some of my favorite scenes include the Irish steerage passengers' efforts to reach the life boats on the upper decks, the wireless operators' (David McCullum and Kenneth Griffin) efforts to summon other ships to rescue the passengers and crew, and passenger Molly Brown (Tucker McGuire)'s conflict with the sole crewman in her lifeboat. But my favorite scene has to be that moment when the Titanic's stern rose high before the ship sank into the Atlantic Ocean. For a film shot in black and white during the late 1950s, I must admit that "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" looked very handsome. Legendary cinematographer Geoffrey Unsworth's phtography struck me as sharp and very elegant. I do not know if Yvonne Caffin's costume designs for the movie's 1912 setting was completely accurate, but they certainly did add to the movie's late Edwardian atmosphere. Especially those costumes for the first-class passengers. I do have to give kudos to the special effects team led by Bill Warrington. He and his team did a superb job in re-creating the ocean liner's historic sinking. I am even more impressed that their work still manages to hold up after fifty-four years. The cast of "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" was led by Kenneth More, who portrayed Second Officer Lightoller with his usual energetic charm. More was ably supported by the likes of Laurence Naismith as Captain Smith, Michael Goodliffe's poignant portrayal of ship designer Thomas Andrews, Frank Lawton as J. Bruce Ismay, George Rose as the inebriated survivor Charles Joughin and Tucker McGuire's colorful portrayal of American socialite Molly Brown. The movie also featured future "AVENGERS" and Bond veteran Honor Blackman; David McCullum of "THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E." and "N.C.I.S." fame; and Bernard Fox, who will also appear in James Cameron's 1997 movie about the Titanic sinking. Even Sean Connery made an uncredited appearance in the film, but I never did spot him. But despite the numerous good performances, I honestly have to say that I found nothing exceptional about any of them. Like many others, I used to believe that "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" was the best movie about the Titanic. After this latest viewing, I do not believe I can maintain that opinion any longer. In fact, I am beginning to suspect there may not be any "ultimate" Titanic film. And "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" is not perfect, as far as I am concerned. Many have applauded the filmmakers for eschewing any fictional melodrama or using the sinking as a backdrop for a fictional story. Personally, I could not care less if a Titanic movie is simply a fictional melodrama or a semi-documentary film. All I require is a first-rate movie that will maintain my interest. "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" began with a montage of newsreel clips featuring the Titanic's christening in Belfast. One, the ship was never christened. And two, I could see that the newsreel footage used in the movie dated from the 1930s. The movie tried its best to allow the audience to identify with some of its characters. But due to "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" being a docudrama, I feel that it failed to give an in-depth study of its more prominent characters . . . making it difficult for me to identify with any of them. I realize that "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" was a British production, but I was amazed at the low number of American passengers featured in the cast. The 1953 film, "TITANIC" suffered from a similar malady - the only British characters I could recall were members of the crew. I do remember at least three Americans in the 1958 movie - Molly Brown; Benjamin Guggenheim, portrayed by Harold Goldblatt and a third passenger, whose name escapes me. I was satisfied with McGuire's performance as Molly Brown and the nameless actor who portrayed the third American passenger. But Goldblatt portrayed Guggenheim as a member of the British upper class in both attitude and accent. It almost seemed as if the filmmakers wanted Guggenheim to be viewed as a British gentleman, instead of an American one. Walter Lord's book made it clear that one of the last songs performed by Titanic's band was NOT "Nearer My God to Thee". Yet, the filmmakers chose to perpetrate this myth in the movie by having the remaining passengers and crew sing the song en masse before the ship began to sink in earnest. This pious attitude continued in a scene aboard the R.M.S. Carpathia, in which the survivors listened to a religious sermon. Instead of projecting an air of melancholy or despair, the survivors, thanks to Ward Baker, seemed to project an air of the British stiff upper lip cliche. I feel that a melancholic air among the survivors would have made the scene seem more human. I cannot deny that "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" is a first-rate look at the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic. More importantly, the movie and especially the visual effects still hold up very well after half-a-century. But the movie possesses flaws that make it difficult for me to regard it as the best Titanic movie ever made. Perhaps . . . there is no best Titanic movie. Just bad or well-made ones.

The Man Upstairs (1958)

"Miss Grey! You keep saying that you're to blame, that you want to help! Well now's your chance, do you want to help or don't you?"

"Yes, of course I want -"

"Well, then tell them the story yourself, it will help them to understand better."

Bernard Lee is repugnant as the aggressive police #inspector who seems dead set on escalating events and cares nothing for Attenborough's vulnerable stranger; Dickie himself is astonishing #but takes a back seat for the second half as the film moves to concentrate on his fellow lodgers (a narrow array that might be meant to #represent society as a whole‚ one of the only parts of the film that doesn't quite work). a surfeit of great brit character actors all pull #their weight‚ but it's Australian Dot Alison who shines out as the tentative voice of kindness and understanding

King Ralph (1991) Directed by David S. Ward Cinematography by Kenneth MacMillan

King Ralph received really harsh reception on release, it has a measly 23% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's a cute comedy. There's also a lot of fantastic interiors in this film.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

With most of the foundation set in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the franchise can begin building itself up. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets improves on the previous film in basically every way. This children’s movie will delight its intended audience and appeal to the adults sitting down with them too.

In their second year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Ronald Weasley (Rupert Grint), and Hermione Granger (Emma Stone) attempt to uncover the mystery of the “Heir of Salazar Slytherin”. Whoever they are, they’ve opened the fabled chamber of secrets and unleashed the monster within. As it continuously avoids capture, the castle is plunged into a state of terror. Unless the culprit is discovered and the monster defeated, Hogwarts will be forced to shut down.

You’ll immediately notice that the young actors are more convincing this time around. Perhaps it’s the extensive use of practical effects (the closeups of the monster within the Chamber of Secrets are impressive). It might be that the gap between this sequel and the first chapter has given the performers just the time they needed to hone their skills. Either way, praise is due to the casting directors of “Philosopher’s Stone” who saw the potential in the youngsters.

Compared to its predecessor, the screenplay by Steve Kloves allows more time for the actual story and less to establish the idea of a school for wizards, which means we're treated to a compelling mystery. You want to know what the monster is, how it’s been roaming around the school undetected, and who is behind the attacks but that's not all. The way Harry, Ron, and Hermione search for clues is fascinating. They're not looking at newspaper clippings. They're brewing complicated potions to go undercover, interviewing strange creatures, and traveling to strange places. The stakes are real and the atmosphere is moody but don’t worry, it's perfectly suited for young viewers.

The two most memorable aspects of this film are the art direction, which comes into play grandiosely during the climax, and the inclusion of two new characters: a house-elf named Dobby (voiced by… Tobby Jones?! Who knew?) and Professor Lockart (Kenneth Branagh). They're as memorable as everyone we've met in the series so far. There’s plenty of humor and thrills, the plot is engaging, and the special effects hold up well. You can practically feel the glimmer of wonder in your eyes as you watch, cementing this franchise as a new classic rather than a one-time fluke.

In some ways, the direction is still workman-like from Chris Columbus and we’re still setting up some crucial pieces of this world before the story and characters can REALLY start to grow, but Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a delightful picture, particularly for children. While the Extended cut does lengthen what is already a long film (154 vs. 167 minutes) the additional material is nice if you just can’t get enough of Harry Potter. While you're at it, make sure you stay for a great post-credit scene you won’t want to miss. (Extended version on Blu-ray, May 5, 2017)

Too loud, too bright, too sexual… Mexico's Lupe Vélez was utterly broken by scandal-hungry 1940s Hollywood – even after her death.

The wild saga of Lupe Vélez, Hollywood's first tabloid casualty

On the evening of December 13, 1944, 36-year-old Mexican film star Lupe Vélez was found by her personal secretary, laid out on her bed in California like a painted doll and wearing blue satin pyjamas, surrounded by fresh flowers and burning candles.

She was dead, having intentionally overdosed on 75 Seconal pills (a barbiturate) with a glass of brandy after dinner. She was also pregnant, no doubt suffered from bipolar, and left behind a life papered in tabloid headlines and scandal.

Yet, what should have been an international tragedy – a wake-up call to the media around the fragility of celebrity and mental health – was soon turned into farce by underground filmmaker Kenneth Anger. He published Hollywood Babylon, a widely-sold compendium of Tinseltown’s juiciest rumours.

“Her ethnicity was played up for her films, and, for the sake of her 'public image' she fell into that characterization, both on and off screen,” writes Vélez biographer Michelle Vogel in her book Lupe Vélez: The Life and Career of Hollywood’s Mexican Spitfire.

Oliver Hardy, Stan Laurel and Lupe Velez, in the 1930s

Lupe Velez and Douglas Fairbanks in O Gaucho

Violent love: Lupe Vélez and Gary Cooper in 1929

Vélez exercarbated the intrigue in her interviews, chillingly telling one fanzine, “I think I will kill my Gary, because he does not get angry when Lupe is angry with him.” Eventually Cooper left her, and was ordered by Paramount Studios to take a holiday on account of his nervous exhaustion and 45-pound weight loss considered a result of his relationship. The day he boarded the train to get away, Vélez ran onto the platform, smashed the glass of his window pane and tried to shoot him with her pistol while reportedly shouting, “Gary! You son of a bitch!”

A brief marriage to Tarzan star Johnny Weissmuller followed suit in October 1933, and the bruises and love bites they both sported as a result of their “passionate lovemaking” were regularly noted in the press (and commented on by makeup artists on the Tarzan films, whose task it was to cover Weissmuller’s up).

“Another misconception is that she was a loose woman…” said Vogel. (In Hollywood Babylon Kenneth Anger described her “going through a small army of lover – cowboys, stuntmen, and American gigolos.”) “Sure, she loved to party and have a good time, but she was fiercely loyal to her men. She was committed to Gary Cooper and Johnny Weissmuller for almost 10 years of her life. She helped everyone and supported her extended family in Mexico for much of her life,” continued Vogel. Indeed, it was reported that Vélez kept her personal phone number listed so that fans could call her up and chat when they were in distress. She also had a big heart, keeping a large menagerie of rescue animals which included horses, monkeys, canaries, turtles and dogs.

“Although the public thinks that I'm a very wild girl. Actually I'm not. I'm just me, Lupe Vélez, simple and natural Lupe. If I'm happy, I dance and sing and acted like a child. And if something irritates me, I cry and sob. Someone called that 'personality'. The Personality is nothing more than behave with others as you really are. If I tried to look and act like Norma Talmadge, the great dramatic actress, or like Corinne Griffith, the aristocrat of the movies, or like Mary Pickford, the sweet and gentle Mary, I would be nothing more than an imitation. I just want to be myself: Lupe Vélez .”

Suspect (The Risk, 1960)

"I'll be quite frank with you, Minister. Although I know nothing about politics, I've never felt that because I happened to be born in this country, it was the only country that mattered. I've tried to give it a fair return for what it has given me, and after that my loyalty is to the world. When you tell me it'd be treason to publish my work because some lunatic might use it to kill Englishmen, and I know that that stuff properly developed could save half a million lives outside this country, then I say it'd be treason to those half million if I don't."

Thorley Walters' eccentric security man is a little over done #and rather obvious but looks positively oscar worthy next to a deeply misjudged comic relief part for Spike Milligan of all people
