I just realized that I haven't written up a movie all year. Yikes! I'm so far behind. I'm going to go through these quickly to get caught up.
Jan 1: Libeled Lady, Bringing Up Baby, Theodora Goes Wild and The Awful Truth. They showed screwball comedies all New Year's Day. All four that I watched are classics.
Jan 2: Swing! 1938 all-African American movie about a producer trying to put together the first all-black show on Broadway. The plot is .. well, not the reason to watch a movie like this. The acting is pretty bad too. The reason to watch the movie is the musical performances, including a couple of number by female trumpet player Doli Armena.
Jan 2: Dead Reckoning. Noirish thriller starring Humphrey Bogart as a bitter veteran trying to find out what happened to his WWII buddy. Costars Lizabeth Scott as Lauren Bacall. I enjoyed this a lot.
