#NowPlaying: ‘Bedtime Story’ (1964)

‘Marlon Brando & David Niven make a living swindling the wealthy. When an attractive heiress enters the picture, they turn on each other to see who can get her money (and other ‘things’) first.’

Very cheeky/saucy. Was remade as ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.’

What will they think of next?

Just baked: Apple Turnovers.

They are very tasty but I wasn’t super efficient with the recipe since it was my first time making any thing like this. Didn’t make enough filling, etc.

I will try again!

#NowPlaying: ‘Two Way Stretch’ (1960)

‘Peter Sellers’ is about to be released from jail & plots a ‘perfect crime.’ He’s going to break out, steal diamonds, and then break back in as if he never left. What could go wrong?’

One of those old school capers you could only do before modern technology.

Now watching: ‘The Bliss of Miss Blossom’ (1968)

‘Shirley MacLaine, unhappy with her British husband, takes on a lover and lets him live in their attic. She juggles the two men until the husband finds out and things take some unexpected hijinks-y turns.’

A very 60’s comedy, colorful and kooky.

Look what just arrived!

Won’t open it until I see the movie next week, though!

Surprise late night Midwestern aurora!

I was out there for an hour watching it. So cold, still shivering! But it was worth it.

Winter cookies for a wintry day. Hot chocolate crinkle with candy cane morsels.

Indiana remains undefeated! 10-0.

That was either too close for comfort or all-time clutch. Catch of the season. Had to follow on my phone from the orchard, so my celebration was muted.

Starting a rewatch of ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show’ (1961-1966). The comedy holds up & the HD transfer is immaculate.

While not the first influential sitcom, Van Dyke created the template for the ‘workplace’ comedy that became favored. Mary Tyler Moore anchors the ‘home’ scenes with charming energy.

Caught up on Season 5 of CBS’ ‘Ghosts’ (just three episodes so far, but still). Just as good as ever!

It’s such a warm, funny sitcom (in spite of the macabre premise) with really creative world building.

Now watching: ‘Arsenic and Old Lace’ (1944)

‘Cary Grant brings his new bride to visit his aunts only to discover they have a new hobby: killing men & burying them in the cellar.’

Frank Capra made this after ‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.’ What a wild tonal swing! Cary’s face acting is all time.

My Zootopia 2 poster has arrived!

Now watching: ‘Lake Michigan Monster’ (2018)

‘An eccentric sea captain conscripts his friends to obsessively hunt down an alleged monster lurking in Lake Michigan.’

A very silly time from the ‘Hundreds of Beavers’ guys. So, the wackiness is similar (though not quite as cartoony).

Now watching: ‘Rebecca’ (1940)

‘A young woman impulsively marries a rich, dashing widower only to discover his estate and life are deeply haunted by the specter of her deceased predecessor.’

Alfred Hitchcock’s sterling Best Picture winner is a psychological spook. Dream-like with many twists.

Now watching: ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ (2014)

‘Age-old vampire housemates, being filmed by a New Zealand documentary team, deal with the foibles of modern life, as well as rival werewolves.’

I saw this one in the theater back when. This one is very funny & spawned a successful TV show.

Now watching: ‘I Married a Witch’ (1942)

‘On the eve of election, a prospective governor is swooned over by a Salem-era witch (after a spell backfires and is cast on her; also, he’s engaged to a socialite).’

A Halloween screwball (directed by Frenchman Rene Clair) that inspired TV’s Bewitched.

Now watching: Supernatural (1933)

‘Carole Lombard, the innocent heiress to a fortune, is possessed by the spirit of a murderer who aims to kill again.’

A short (64 minutes) pre-Code curio, spooky but a bit of an unintentional romp (lots of maniacal, evil laughter & eyebrow acting in this one).
