This Was Paris

1941, Movie, NR, 77 mins

starstarstarstar
A well-made but completely hollow war film starring Dvorak as an American ambulance driver in war-torn France. She's unwittingly being used by the Nazis. Jones plays a British Intelligence man who rescues her from the enemy, and Lyon provides support as the sterotypical hard-driven war correspondent. The film is well photographed and directed, but neither of these factors can cover the empty headed script, making this a less than average war film. leave a comment

Our favorite star-crossed Loch...

Our favorite star-crossed Loch Ness Monster hunters are back together this week, hot on the trail of the Big Bad Specimen A that Laura managed to tag last time.

When Rich gets a load of Laura's shrine-o'-newspaper-clippings, he tells her, "I thought I'd gone overboard." Guess what, Surface cast? I'm instituting a dollar-a-pun rule — it's a crisp greenback in the jar every time you spout a bit of cutesy, water-related dialogue. (Uh-oh. I don't owe a buck for "spout," do I?) After some death-defying highway hot-doggery, the pair manage to score their first above-water sighting — alongside an entire marina full of tourists. We've got monster on tape! Oh wait, no we don't. Thanks a lot, electromagnetic superpowers. Whose side are you on, anyway? Hip! Hip! Hooray for the B-story: Nim's loose in the Piggly Wiggly! Now this is the sort of read more
