Rental Pick: Bride & Prejudice (2004)

This review is part of Impassioned Cinema's Romance February Event. Check out this hub page for more romance films' reviews from other bloggers.

Classic Flix Review: Bonnie & Clyde

Greetings all and sundry! I am pleased to have the opportunity to approach and dissect in my own unique fashion one of  those films that arrives with not a lot of noise and hoopla.

Classic Flix Review: Brute Force (1947)

Welcome all and sundry to another guest review of a film I caught quite by accident. Courtesy of Turner Classic Movies late into a dark and stormy summer night. The film Brute Force is exceptionally intriguing in more ways than one. With a screenplay by Richard Brooks, who had assisted on Burt Lancaster's earlier, The Killers, excellent direction by Jules Dassin and B&W camera …
