Lunar films for the dreamers, the sci-fi enthusiasts, the skeptics and the dramatic. All available from DVD Netflix.
Audrey Hepburn
Elegant. Impish. Gamine. Audrey. This Saturday would be Audrey’s 90th birthday. Schedule a marathon with these classics from DVD Netflix. In each of these films, Audrey’s joy is infectious. She can dance, sing, make you laugh or feel wistful. And she has some killer dresses.
Films Inspired by Shakespeare
This year, April 23 marks the 455th birthday of William Shakespeare. From thrillers that will “make your hair stand on end,*” to Broadway musicals, these are not adaptations put to film. Rather, these movies use Shakespeare as a foundation to tell a story relevant to its audience.
Femme Fatales of 1950s noir
These sophisticated films of the 1950s highlight the noir sensibility and the femme fatale.
A heightened sense of fear
My latest for DVD Netflix focuses on Alfred Hitchcock’s output during the 1940s, a decade fraught by global war. It was a time laced with suspicion, doubt, daring, and misplaced trust. He knew what plagued an audience’s psyche. These stomach-knotting thrillers use the paranoia and instability of World War II to his advantage.
