Silents, Please: Annie Laurie and Cinderella (1914)

By: Jay's Movie Blog

16Mar2023

A couple of these ago, accompanist Jeff Raising mentioned that some hard-to-find silent or other wound up being so good that there ought to be a Kickstarter to get it on disc. I don't think it was this one, which recently went live, but I backed it...

Film Rolls, Round 12: Lady in a Cage and July Rhapsody

By: Jay's Movie Blog

8Feb2023

We're at what may be my favorite part of the gameboard here, where American cinema exits the Golden Age and where Hong Kong is hitting its heyday; it's an impressive run of anything-can-happen material, between weird and just generally interesting.

Silents, Please!: Within Our Gates and The Other Woman's Story

By: Jay's Movie Blog

7Feb2023

Hey, "Silents, Please!" is back! I think this is the first official entry since the Rin Tin Tin double feature in early 2020 that was still on the showtimes board throughout the Somerville's pandemic closure and renovation. It's not the f...

This Week in Tickets: 30 January 2023 - 5 February 2023 (Winter Weather Edition)

By: Jay's Movie Blog

7Feb2023

January ends with some Oscar catch-up, a reminder that climate change hasn't completely defanged New England winter, and more good stuff. Things kicked off with a rare-ish Monday night at the movies to see Glass Onion a second time, since I don't...

Film Rolls, Round 6: Pitfall and Bruce's Box Set

By: Jay's Movie Blog

2Jan2023

Definitely a weird round, between something I had apparently already seen sneaking into the "unseen" shelf (it happens) and the sort of unbalancing coincidence that would raise questions about the legitimacy of the competition if this were...

Roll The Die, Round 1: Carole Lomabard and Charley Bowers

By: Jay's Movie Blog

14Mar2022

I've mentioned before that I have a terrible time choosing between good options - when I'm on vacation, I get decision paralysis figuring out what I'm going to do that day until I've wasted a couple of hours, and more to the point of this exercise, I...

Last and First Men

By: Jay's Movie Blog

5Feb2022

Three more days of this at the Brattle - Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday - and I recommend seeing it there while you can. I'm sure that this will wind up on video eventually, but it's the sort of thing that benefits greatly from being absorbed in a da...

IFFBoston 2021.02: The Dog Who Wouldn't Be Quiet and A Reckoning in Boston

By: Jay's Movie Blog

9May2021

Is it just me, or is anyone else watching Brian Tamm's intro to these movies, especially the ones labeled "Generic Somerville" or "Generic Brattle", and seeing if they map to where they think the films in question would play durin...

The Brasher Doubloon

By: Jay's Movie Blog

3Feb2021

There. No-one can say I haven't reviewed all four Philip Marlowe movies made in the 1940s despite how I've occasionally mentioned how weird it is that four different studios did one, each with a different lead actor, in such a short span of time. I...

"Carole Lombard Collection": Fast And Loose, Man of the World, and A Man of Her Own

By: Jay's Movie Blog

20Jan2021

It's kind of strange that Carole Lombard isn't really the star of any of the three movies in Kino Lorber's Carole Lombard Collection (Volume 1), but maybe that's what you're going to find in any early sampling of a star's career - the movies where yo...

(More) Netflix Award Contenders: Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and Mank

By: Jay's Movie Blog

1Dec2020

I've been joking with friends about how I wouldn't be terribly shocked if Netflix was paying them to open so that they could tell various directors that, yes, your movie did open in the top 20 markets as per your contract. Look, here's a blog from a...

Noir City 2020.01: The Black Vampire & Panic

By: Jay's Movie Blog

21Nov2020

Hey, this technically makes it a Boston-area festival, right? Okay, that's a reach, as is "this probably would have been the lineup for Noir City Boston at the Brattle", but so what? If there's any series festival shrugging off borders...
