MY DRUG OF CHOICE

the moving image has always fascinated me. as a wee lass late at nite, while everyone slumbered (at 4 i was already an insomniac) i would turn on 'the late show.' their jingle was: 'here you'll find the greatest of stars, here on the great late show!!'

they showed movies from the 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's!! all in glorious black 'n white!! i fell totally head over heels in love!! i embraced this world with utter love and enjoyment! i never wanted to leave it. so much so that when my mum purchased our first colour television i refused to watch it! i wouldn't let her throw out my beloved bnw tv!!! the greatest of stars were in black & white not technicolour!!! ewww!!! i saw real life in colour, i wanted to see my cinema in black & white! i kept that tv until i could no longer rig it to work and succumbed to the world o' colour! my mums words: "NO, I AM NOT BUYING YOU A BLACK & WHITE TV!! GET USED TO COLOUR!!!"

my reply: NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well, mum i'm STILL not used to colour!! i still love my black & white movies! colour will be included ~ our world today uses it for everything, so i settle. but if i had my world OUR CINEMA WOULD FOREVER BE IN GLORIOUS NOIR Y BLANCO!!!

HENRY'S CRIME ~ REVIEW ~ SKYMOVIES HD ~ JANUARY , 2011

Henry's CrimeComing to cinemas on Fri 14 January 2011 a DON'T miss





Director: Malcolm Venville
Stars: Keanu Reeves, James Caan, Vera Farmiga, Peter Stormare, Judy GreerYear: 2010 Running Time: 108 mins Rating: 3 stars CERT: 15
Keanu Reeves is well cast as Henry, an emotionally detached tollbooth clerk who takes the fall after being made an unwitting accomplice in a bank robbery. Once out on parole, however, Henry figures that having done the time, he may as well do the crime. Planning to break into the bank from the theatre next door, Henry lands a part in the latest production, aided and abetted by his wily old cellmate (James Caan) and the play’s volatile leading lady (Vera Farmiga). A wry and romantic heist caper with Chekhovian overtones.

The Scarlet Pimpernell



sink me if it isn't true!!!

The Scarlet Pimpernel



one late nite in the mid 1980's i realized i hadn't turned the tv on in quite sometime. so i figured i'd join the other sheep who saddled up to that contraption and see what was being thrown at us.

i turned on the tv and the image that popped up was a close up of this man they were calling 'sir percy blakeney.' i was mesmersized!! he was dashing, charming, handsome as all get out and had the most amazing sense of humour!! i fell head over heels!! who was the man behind this wonderful character? it was LESLIE HOWARD!!!

after that night my life changed. i went on the search to find out who this illusive man was and prayed that he were still living...after all the scarlet pimpernel was released in 1934! it took forever, but i unearthed quite a bit of remarkable information about this most amazing creature. not only was he beautiful, he was intelligent and did his best in the fight against the nazi's!! god bless you leslie howard and i will love you for all eternity!!

LONG LIVE THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
