MOVIE MARATHON!!!!!!!

Unfortunately for the past few days I have been infected with and awful disease called...the flu. I also have not been sleeping well at all while I'm ill so I have been trying to keep myself busy and to do that I have been watching films. Today especially I have watched a fair amount of films which are all new to me. I will list my little marathon below and rate them, hopefully I will give one a review soon:

• Nothing Sacred (1937)

I rate it 7.1 (mostly because I love it when Carole Lombard sticks her tongue out during a fight, she is as cute as a button)

• Cynthia (1947)

I rate it 7.4 (because I just love cute films like this that make you feel all warm inside)

• A Date With Judy (1948)

I rate this 6.9 (Watch it just for Carmen Miranda, she is fab-u-lous. It is a cute little film and worth a watch)

• The Children's Hour (1961)

I rate this film 8.1 (I enjoyed it so much more then what I expected and it evoked so many emotions in me and the ending is so sad)

• Made For Each Other (1939)

I rate this movie a ....7.0 (because some of the scenes were beautifully done and were heart-wrenching)

• Morning Glory (1933)

The film will be rated a 7.3 (because of the scenes were Katharine Hepburn is drunk and acting out Shakespeare...genius)

and finally a film which I have decided is my new ultimate favourite film ever is....................................................................................................................

• Stage Door (1937)

I rate this film a solid 10 WOOHOO YAAAAY!!!!!!!!!! (I can't flaw this film it is everything I look for it has comedy, drama, an amazing cast with the devilishly gorgeous Lucille Ball who is mighty funny. It is also probably the best performance and character that I have seen Ginger Rogers play she is fantastic. Katharine Hepburn did great herself and this is now my new favourite of her films beating out Guess Who's Coming To Dinner) I love it so much...

Well that is all of the films I have watched in a single day. Now because I can feel my headache rising again I must go and sit in a corner and cry, hoping that I won't be ill on Christmas.......

Frank Sinatra BLOG-IT #3

I felt like I needed to shine a light on this gems talents. I think he is incredibly underrated not for his worldwide famous singing oh no but for his acting. I am a fan of his works leading from his musicals like on the town, anchors aweigh, guys and dolls to his light hearted romances (well not always very light hearted) like the tender trap, young at heart and then to the more serious films such as the man with the golden arm (which is excellent), suddenly and from here to eternity. Anyway lets get on with the show...



1. My personal favourite of his films?

I really liked The man with the golden arm, his withdrawal scene was one of my favourite performances ever.

2. A film match they were made for?

I think him and Paulette Goddard would be adequate.

3. His ultimate box-set:

On the town
The Tender trap
some came running
the Manchurian candidate
the man with the golden arm
young at heart


4. A role meant for them but alas never got the chance to play it?

Hm I have never really watched a movie and thought WOW this role was meant for Frank Sinatra. I would have liked to have seen him in Carousel but no he had to quit.

5. His best character?

I liked his character in High Society just because he is so sweet.

6. The perfect romantic couple.

Maybe him and Ginger Rogers, that would be quite cute.
