  • Ask FlickChick: What's That Movie?, New Argento & More Movie Questions... | Ask FlickChick | 10/4/2007
    Question: Back when I was a young lad — mid- to late 1960s — WWOR-TV in NYC used to run something called Million Dollar Movie. They would play the same movie for the entire week. I remember one movie that was based on the opera Carmen. At the time, of course, I didn’t know the movie was based on the opera. I don’t remember seeing it since then. I only remember the last scene: The male lead (dragoon) is about to be shot when the female lead — Carmen, I think — gets in front of him and gets shot instead. She dies in his arms and he dies shortly afterwards from an earlier injury; then there's a rush of dragoons into the bandits’ hideout and the movie ends. I thought it was the Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford version of Carmen, but when I saw that a few years ago it wasn’t the one I remembered. There have been several movies based on Carmen, and I couldn’t even tell you if the movie was foreign and dubbed. If you have any idea about the movie... read more

  • Ask FlickChick: First Serial Killer Flick? And More! | Ask FlickChick | 6/21/2007
    Questions about serial murderers in movies, a shower of blood, The Godfather II's Troy Donahue/Merle Johnson mystery and more.Send your movie questions to FlickChick.See Maitland McDonagh and Ken Fox review this week's new flicks in Movie Talk!Hear Maitland on the weekly TVGuide Talk podcast.Question: I love movies about serial killers and that got me to wondering: What was the very first serial killer picture? -- AlexFlickChick: I love "first" questions, because they always get the discussion going. I'd argue that Alfred Hitchcock's silent The Lodger (1926) gets the credit for being the earliest movie about a serial murderer. That said, it focuses less on the killer and his victims than on the increasingly concerned landlady who comes to suspect her upstairs lodger might be this "Jack the Ripper" fellow she keeps reading about in the newspaper. Fritz Lang's M (1931) seems to me the first film whose structure resembles that of contemporary serial killer pictures: It focuses on... read more
  • Lost: Who Were Those Pretty People? | Roush Dispatch | 3/29/2007
    As a happy distraction from our long national nightmare — make that bad joke — that is Sanjaya Malakar, can I just say that Lost blew me away Wednesday night? What an absolute treat of an episode, a clear sign that the show, after a stalled fall, is back in full throttle, back on its creative game and still more than capable of spinning a great, entertaining yarn.Weaving flashbacks that appeared to be posthumous but really weren't (more on that later) while providing clever new angles on classic Lost moments from previous seasons — including the immediate aftermath of the crash itself — this episode was also a welcome reminder that sometimes these producers really do seem to know what they're doing after all. We were silly, and unworthy, to have doubted them, don't you think? For all those times this season that we clucked and shook our heads whenever we spied the marginal beauties Nikki (Kiele Sanchez) and Paulo (Rodrigo Santoro), wondering (as Sawyer often... read more
  • When Bad Things Happen to Good Characters | Roush Dispatch | 9/25/2006
    Something seriously unfunny is happening on two of TV's most notable hour-long comedies, Desperate Housewives and Gilmore Girls. Not that either show is beyond rescue, but I fear it's going to take a while this season to extricate some heretofore favorite characters from the miserable corners they were painted into last season.Most infamously, Lorelai Gilmore (still, against the odds, effervescently played by Lauren Graham) is mired in an unpleasant situation that makes her overextended estrangement from daughter Rory a while back look like a walk in the park. Last season ended on a dreadful thumb-nosing note by departing series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino as Lorelai walked away from fiancé Luke after making an impulsive (some might say irrational) ultimatum, and then ended up in her former flame (and Rory's father) Christopher's bed. No good can come from this.In Tuesday's opener, Lorelai tells everyone who'll listen, "It's over." If only it were. Not Lorelai and Luke, but... read more
