A β β β Β½ review of Black Widow (1987)
The great and beautiful Diane Ladd has passed away. She's already my #1 most watched actress this year, just by coincidence, and it's currently Noir Month so I've dug out this film I've been meaning t...

This time next week I will be in Wellington for the sole and explicit purpose of going to Unity Books and picking up a copy of Hoods Landing by Laura Vincent.

A β β β β β review of Privilege (1967)

44 horror films all told. Absolutely no idea how I fit them all in when it has been one of the busiest and most full-on months of my life. Still, great fun. Next up: noir!

I'm totally over the moon about this set - I've got a commentary and an essay on there - because it looks so beautiful! This stuff is so wild and I cannot wait to see just how gorgeous the films are all together.

Extremely good idea. These rule. Hope they manage to slip some horror in there (I watched "Robin Redbreast" recently - highly recommend).
