"The John Garfield Story This documentary can be found on the special features of the DVD for The Postman Always Rings Twice. It features a history and biography of the actor John Garfield as well as many insights and praises from directors and actors who I don't think really had anything to do with him. Anyways, I wasn't overly impressed with Garfield in The Postman, and the clips of him from other movies weren't especially enticing either. So overall this feature wasn't too exciting to me. Maybe if you are a John Garfield fan you will dig it though. Rating: 5/10 "

"This is a list for Round 2 of my movie year countdown viewing project as first described here. If by any strange chance whoever is reading this is actually following along you may notice that I'm still less than two thirds of the way through my original one. Well I'm starting this new one because as much as I love old movies it can get a little tedious watching just older movies. So I'm going to be blending my watching of the two lists together. Still focusing on the original one, but every once in a while sliding in the next entry from this new list.Again these new movies are limited to full length movies that are available on Netflix. And for this new round instead of picking a movie from every year, I will be picking a movie from every two years. For example the first movie must have come out during 2006 or 2007. The second movie must have come out in 2004 or 2005. The next in 2002 or 2003. You see.The list is not finished yet, but here is what I have decide ... "

"The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)—Most people pop in this video as a film noir, or see it in a film series called something like “Classics of Film Noir.” Then arguments rage about whether the film is truly classic or fails to measure up to Double Indemnity and others (see for example the IMDb site). But these are secondary considerations. The primary question is “Is this a good movie?” or, somewhat differently, “Is it worth watching?” Although I think the answers are yes, I readily admit that there are two broad reasons someone might not think this a good movie. First, it was made a half century ago, and some viewers will not be able to make the leap to allow the pace, camera work, and, particularly, the acting to work its magic. This is a common problem, highlighted when reading literature. The first time I encountere "

"This blog entry is part of my "movie year countdown round #2". Read more about that here. The Postman Always Rings Twice The name is well known in the film noir-genre. But the film has nothing to do with the actual title except for a little metaphor that is unleashed right at the end of the film, a metaphor that is apparently never even mentioned in the original novel and probably could have been better for the situation. But the name is memorable and now iconic, so I won't argue with it too much. The film is just a little short of two hours but feels pretty long and sprawling. Sometimes in a good way,

"One of the most popular sex scenes of all time is the kitchen scene from the 1981 version of The Postman Always Rings Twice. But many people find the more implicit parts of the 1946 version to be sexier. These people include the earlier film’s female lead, Lana Turner, who wrote in her autobiography, “[The makers of the 1981 film] didn’t have to worry about the censors. I’d had to project a rather intense sexual presence, but always with my clothes on. I was amused to read that [NY Times film critic] Vincent Canby considered the remake a pale, rather sexless imitation of my version.” Yes, a film with neither nudity nor simulated lovemaking can be quite sexy, likely sexier than an explicit remake, for innuendo and other teasing maneuvers around either the Hays Code or the MPAA ratings board’s restrictions are far more tantalizing than any bare and balls-out displays of graphic sex common in movies today. Though many cl "

"Here’s the dilemma. I have a list of well over three thousand movies I want to see saved on IMDB. I have a subscription to Netflix and recently every time I return a DVD it has been an extremely arduous task to make the decision as to which movie I should see next. In an effort to narrow down my choices and make the process of choosing slightly less overwhelming I have devised a system, almost a bit of a game for me. Here’s how it goes.For my first film selection, I have narrowed the options down to only films that were released in the year 2006. Then after I have watched that movie, my next selection would have to be a film released in 2005. Then I would see a film from 2004, then 2003, etc. The process of deciding is still laborious, but actually quite a bit more exciting. (I'm going by IMDB as my source for release years)I have already been making a list and have also already begun watching the films. I decided this might be a good time to start fooling ... "
