Month in Review: July

Hi Guys,

     I'm only doing this month's review for the sake of keeping on track. I watched barely any movies this month. Like, really, so few. 


Number of Movies Seen: 7. Yes, seven. This is the least I've watched in a month this year, and I just hope it never gets fewer than this... I happen to like watching movies! A lot of movies.
New vs. Re-Watches: 3 out of 7 were re-watches.

3 Favorite Movies: The Great Man's Lady (1942), Illicit (1931), and Brief Encounter (1945). Note: Illicit was only good because Missy was the most adorable ever and I didn't adore Brief Encounter but I did really like it.

Least Favorite Movie: Uhh... Either You Were Never Lovlier or Nice Girl? As much as I love the stars in both of those movies, I found them both rather boring. 


Movie I Will Recommend to Everyone: Double Indemnity (1944). Go. All of You. Watch it now. Then tell me if you are or are not on Barbara Stanwyck's team at the end. Note: Both, The Country Girl and Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House are to be reviewed as soon as possible, which may or may not still be a while as I'm super busy at the moment.

Favorite Leads: Barbara Stanwyck and Joel McCrea. Always Babs and Mr. McCrea - they're just too adorable.
 

A New-To-Me Actress Worth Noting: Deanna Durbin. No, Deanna is not new to me. Yes, she was one of them first stars I purposely searched out movies for. But yes I still want to finish her filmography.

A New-To-Me Actor Worth Noting: Franchot Tone. Again, yes, I've seen a few, but I want to see more because I actually do like him.

Most Watched Actress: Barbara Stanwyck (three movies)

Most Watched Actor: N/A 

Until Later On ~

P.S. If you left me a comment at any time in the last week and care about my reply... I just replied to all of them. Nice of me, wasn't it?

  1. Really, you didn't like "Nice Girl?"? I thought that was a good movie! However, I didn't much care for Double Indemnity.

    1. Go. Away. [Only don't cuz we're friends and all]. I thought NG? was good movie, but boring as heck. On the other hand DI is perfect and you need to leave. [Only as I mentioned before, not, because you're me amigo].

    2. Opposite for me. (Kind of.) DI was boring and NG? was pretty funny. And fine! I'll just storm out of your blog door! (Only I won't because then I'd miss you.) And I know I should like DI...but I just can't bring myself to. Just think: at least I don't hate it. I would watch it again if it was life or death situation. Or if my other option(s) weren't good at all.

    3. DO THAT! LEAVE I SAY! (but, yeah, you shouldn't cos I like having you 'round). Anyhoo, glad you don't HATE it...

    4. FINE. I WILL. (Except for I wouldn't have any place to go anyway...) Well can I safely say it's my least favorite Missy film? I mean, I like almost every other film of hers!

    5. GOOD! (Yeah, see you just need to stay here with me in Stanwyck Appreciation World). And, yeah, that's okay. I dislike some Missy movies. Note: We need to talk about BoF in one of our conversations. XD

    6. OMIGOSH THAT MOVIE IS PERFECTION. (Oh my gosh I sound like you.) AGREED.

  2. Franchot Tone was the reason Bette Davis and Joan Crawford started fighting! I'm so fascinated by their feud, maybe I should look into this guy :)
