The 4ever Movie

If you were around in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s and lived in the Appalachian Highlands I’m sure you remember the success of the East Tennessee State University basketball team. The ETSU team in question won the Southern Conference Championship four years in a row and left a lasting legacy. Said team is the […]

The Grand Budapest Hotel

People tend to be split on the work of filmmaker Wes Anderson, folks either don’t care for his unique, inventive worlds, or they’re all in on them. I, am the latter, and have been ever since “Rushmore” came out in 2002, though I don’t think I fully fell in love with his work until “The […]

Holiday….Celebrate!

With summer being in full swing and finally being released from our homes following the shut-down, it’s a safe bet to assume most of us have vacation on the brain.  However, if you’re someone like me who has suddenly found yourself back on a strict budget, those travel dreams might seem pretty far-fetched.  It is […]

Leave Her to Heaven

When you hear the term “film noir” what comes to mind? Do you envision dark streets, clouds of cigarette smoke and icy femme fatales all shot in stark black and white? What you don’t envision, I imagine, is pretty blue skies, and deep rich 1940s Technicolor imagery. Yet, that’s exactly what the 1945 noir “Leave […]

 

Tea Time with Appalachian Barbie

The Art of Optimistic Apathy

Yesterday I decided to treat myself to a lazy Sunday morning in bed with the dogs and spent most of my morning having my French press and re-watching Van Wilder for no less than the 15th time.  While it’s an admittedly silly raunch-fest full of “bro humor” (AKA my favorite genre of film), there was […]

Entertainment Suggestions

For those of us, like myself, who enjoy going to the movies, this current shutdown of movie theaters has been rough. I understand some theaters will be opening back up gradually, so while you are home I have a few suggestions to entertain yourself. Hopefully this medical crisis will pass soon and we can all […]

The Great Escape

It’s been a good stretch of years since I last saw director John Sturges’s wonderful 1963 film “The Great Escape.” When the wonderful new blu-ray edition by The Criterion Collection showed up at my doorstep, I was quite surprised looking over the back of the case to see the film was almost exactly three hours […]

How to Boost Your Immune System

As the hand sanitizer and soap starts to fly off the shelves of the grocery store, the worry sets in. While there’s a lot of fear around viruses at the moment, there’s not as much practical advice on how to protect yourself and your family. So let’s talk about it. One of the most practical […]

 

Tea Time with Appalachian Barbie

Catching Up and Common Sense

Well.  I would love to just be able to pick up where we left off in mid-March, but considering that since then we’ve weathered a global pandemic that shut down the economy, murder hornets, “Tiger King,” the great 2020 toilet paper shortage and are now in the throes of nationwide racial protesting, riots, looting and […]

Wonder Woman: Bloodlines

While Wonder Woman fans wait for the scheduled August release of the live-action film “Wonder Woman ’84”, there is a Wonder Woman fix you can get via the animated film “Wonder Woman: Bloodlines”, featuring the amazing Amazon. The film is the 14th installment of the DC Animated Movie Universe, and the 36th overall film in […]

Mystery of the Wax Museum

Being a passionate lover of movies, especially of the classic Hollywood era, also means championing the cause of film preservation and restoration. There’s been a recent, very exciting development in this field. Warner Archive last month released to blu-ray an incredible restoration of the once lost 1933 pre-code horror film “Mystery of the Wax Museum” […]
