Oliver Twist

1933, Movie, NR, 74 mins

starstarstarstar
Low-budget production of the Charles Dickens classic which pales in comparison to the 1948 and 1968 British versions. Five-year-old cherub Moore makes a less-than-successful Oliver Twist, due to his youth and his obvious lack of the range required for the part. Pichel is fine as Fagin, but Boyd's (not Hopalong Cassidy, but a different actor) Bill Sikes is underwhelming. A competent, if uninspired effort, it spawned a short Dickens craze among the Hollywood studios. leave a comment

'Streetwise'

While most TV series has already resorted to reruns due to the writer's strike, L&O: SVU still has 4 new episodes to air in the new year. So here we are one down 3 to go. Got to thank Executive Producer Dick Wolf for his skewed shooting schedule. He has the first few episodes of each season in the can before he begins shooting his "new" season.For starters I could totally tell this was shot months ago in the summer. What will all the greenery in the park. And was it me or did Mariska look darker than usual? Real tan or spray on? I don't have Hi-Def so I couldn't tell how orange she looked. But I digress.Didn't you guys love the band name? Sticky Butter Fingers. Clever. Usually when L&O try to sound hip they miss the mark but I thought this was a more on the money.So I don't know what "ripped from the headlines" case this was. Street kids killing people because some charismatic adult told them to? I was thinking Charles Manson right when Benson said it but it also r... read more
