The Madonna Of Avenue A

1929, Movie, NR, 71 mins

starstarstarstar
Typical melodrama starring Costello as a well-bred schoolgirl who breaks down when she learns that her mother, Dresser, whom she believed to be a high-society matron, is actually the hostess of a sleazy dance hall. It was all done before and would be done to death throughout the 1930s. Not even Curtiz's direction could pull anything extraordinary out of this cliched material. leave a comment

Could that Birkin bag be more...

Could that Birkin bag be more mismatched for vintage-cords-and-old-baby-T's Rory? More importantly, why did overdyed crocodile skin score such high relationship points? Emily is convinced the bag means security. I'm not quite sure what Rory thinks, though who could believe she had no idea how expensive and coveted that bag really is? (Surely her mother once made some witty reference to proud owners Gwyneth, Madonna or Martha.) What an opportune time to tell Logan she loves him! (At least she didn't do it as she was hugging that pink monstrosity.) I'm sorry, but I'm just not seeing it. Expensive gifts, whirlwind trips, wild parties… whatever. The guy always has that something-smells-bad look on his face, and all he does is complain. Couldn't he have come up with a better response to Rory's three little words? "I've told a lot of girls I love them and didn't mean it." Charming. read more
