Movies I need to write about eventually, or have already written about

-JOA asked me for my favorite old movies and here's what I sent. I'm keeping it for historical purposes.
1)LAURA: Film noir; Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Clifton Webb and Vincent Price; Some girl is murdered... but was she? Good whodunit movie. My favorite music for sure. Great special features story of Gene Tierney's life if you get a dvd.
3)MIDNIGHT LACE: Mystery; Doris Day and Rex Harrison(no singing); In England some girl has a stalker. The end. Like the music at the beginning;)
2)DONKEY SKIN: French; Catherine Devenue Okay this is a really weird movie, but it's great and it's French so you might like it. It's pretty much the French Cinderella, but weird. Oh and Catherine Devenue is also in THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBURG which is a good French all-singing movie that Mom and Dad watched on one of their first dates at BYU. While we're on French movies you should see HE LOVES ME HE LOVES ME NOT and AMELIE if you haven't already. They're newer though. And LA CHEVRE.
15)CONDORMAN: Comedy; Michael Crawford(Phantom of the Oprea guy); Comic book writer who tests out his comics before he writes them. Has a sweet car.
4)LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN: Drama; Gene Tierney; This is where I get the psychotic movie reputation. This girl gets so jealous she's willing to watch a disabled boy drown because he's taking attention away from her. It makes you think and I like Gene Tierney almost as much as Audrey Hepburn. But yes psychotic movie. It's off of a book. Have you read it?
-FOLLOW THE FLEET: Musical; Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers; Mom and Dad like these movies a lot. They're all the same. But fun.
-SUDDEN FEAR: Mystery; Joan Crawford; Psychotic. Joan Crawford has good scared eyes.
-ANNIE GET YOUR GUN: Musical; don't remember who's in it, but remember liking it.
AUDREY HEPBURN: (You've probably already seen all these)

Johnny Lingo

Best Movie ever!! I love Johnny Lingo!! It makes you feel good about yourself. Today I came home from school feeling grumpy cuz I had just bombed a test. Johnny Lingo restored me. My dog is named Mahanna(Ps if you ever watch the special features of the new Johnny Lingo, my uncle appears and says,"I have a relative with a dog named Mahanna." That's my Mahanna) I remember watching Johnny Lingo in church a lot when we had the teachers who didn't like to teach. The new Johnny Lingo is cute, but the old one is classic." Mahanna you ugly! Get down from that tree!" It has such a good theme too."Many things can change a woman, but what matters most is what she thinks of herself."

Perry Mason

So I really shouldn't be writing a blog right now, but I just realized that I haven't ever written about Perry Mason(I haven't written about a lot of things, but Perry Mason has been rescuing me from way too much studying this week). Even though Perry Mason isn't a movie(although Perry Mason movies have been made) I think fifties TV shows deserve more attention. And who can resist those raccoon eyes;) of Raymond Burr? I discovered Perry Mason a couple years ago. The only problem was it was only on at 11:30 at night and my mom wanted me in bed. So I'd steal Greg's miniature TV and watch Perry Mason every night in bed. He's so great! Watching Perry Mason has probably contributed a lot to my strong opinions against the death penalty. Every episode there's someone with all the evidence pointing at them and Perry Mason defends them and makes the real murderer come out and confess in court(that's the best part of every episode!). My favorite thing to do during the summer is get a nice tall glass of chocolate milk with Nutella and Ritz crackers and watch Perry Mason with my mom and Mahanna. My brothers make fun of us, but Perry Mason is the best! Not to mention Perry Mason has the bestest theme music of any TV show ever! Long live Perry Mason!!!Yay!!
