Last week I got to sail on the actual African Queen with Bogart—Stephen Bogart, that is. The occasion was the first annual Humphrey Bogart Film Festival, held in Key Largo, Florida, the setting of the 1948 Bogart-Bacall picture "Key Largo."

When Ray Harryhausen’s "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad" came out in 1958, it didn’t dominate the box-office as "Iron Man 3" did this past weekend.

If you fly out of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on American Airlines’ commuter service, American Eagle, you must take a shuttle bus to a remote terminal, where you’ll be surrounded by giant photographic blowups of celebrities boarding American planes, back in the days when flying was a more romantic experience than it is today.

Sequels are a tricky business. I thought "Iron Man 2" squandered much of the good will the original 2008 film, and its oddly inspired casting of Robert Downey, Jr., engendered.

I’m a huge fan of Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier, who has given us "Brothers," "After the Wedding," and the Oscar-winning "In A Better World."

The only people who don’t like Deanna Durbin, it seems to me, are
people who’ve never seen her movies. Possessed of a glorious, bell-like soprano
voice, she was presented to moviegoers of the 1930s in a series of irresistible
comedies that showcased a fresh, sunny screen personality. Delightful films
like Three Smart Girls, One Hundred Men and a Girl, and Mad About
Music were said to have saved Universal Pictures from bankruptcy; I don’t
know if that’s actually true, but they were enormously successful, and her fans
have remained devoted to her for decades.

Another edition of the TCM Classic Film Festival has wrapped in Hollywood, and I had a great time hosting a variety of events, as a backup to the channel’s stalwarts Robert Osborne and Ben Mankiewicz, and meeting a vast number of dedicated movie fans from all parts of the country.

Writer-director Jeff Nichols fulfills the promise he showed in his previous film "Take Shelter" with a beguiling fable called "Mud."

What burns me up about "Pain & Gain" is that the trailer, and even the excerpts shown on TV, make it look like fun.

Thor Heyerdahl made history by traveling nearly 5,000 miles on a balsa-wood raft in 1947. His book about the adventure sold more than 50 million copies worldwide, and his subsequent 1951 documentary earned an Oscar.
