"Some houses are just born evil." The Haunting, a movie remade several times and as recent as 1999, is a black and white film about a group of four individuals come to Hill House to determine if the supernatural does exist. There is Dr. Markway, who...

I think I’m from the same generation but I was raised to watch and critique movies by a member of the previous. I’m getting ready to show this to my 13 year old. She is frightened of the dark outside and a few years ago made me turn off a low grade ver...

I think some things translate well to film and some don't. The trouble is the source material. The Haunting of Hill House is a book that hinges on things being creepy and unsettling, off-kilter and that feeling of dread you can't voice. It's a masterfu...

Did you see the original Haunting? From your description I thought you’d be describing a remake. I think the original is all about conveying the evil atmosphere by being off-kilter. I picked it for CSK’s LTC tracker because I thought it was creepy with...

Being a huge fan of the Conjuring series, I could not wait to see The Nun. Set in Romania the movie begins with two nuns standing at a door marked with wording that I believe could be Latin (?) maybe???? Later you learn it reads "God ends here". On...

So, I follow Bloody-Disgusting on Facebook. It's a website/facebook page dedicated to scary movies. Tonight it featured a ranking of the 5 "Conjuring" films that include the doll and the nun. According to their rankings 5) Annabelle 4) The Nun 3) Anna...

So once again I watched Nicolas Cage in National Treasure. That movie always inspires me. But I’ve yet to write a clue based on it. Has anyone else ever written a National Treasure clue? Sits N Knits

Has anyone else ever written a National Treasure clue? Perhaps my two Letterbox Treasure boxes will give you inspiration. BTW, both clues tell you where to locate the required text needed to decode the message. However, you have to be a little famili...

This one is one of our favorites: https://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?boxId=228221 I believe we were last to find.....there had been some serious maintenance at the location leaving it very exposed but we had a blast solving and finding it.

So once again I watched Nicolas Cage in National Treasure. That movie always inspires me. That brought back a really old memory. re: National Treasure

I have a series of 6 boxes in 3 different parks that is one of, if not the, favorite series of mine: it's #115104

Getting back on track with my Halloween themed films, yesterday I reviewed Cargo, starring Martin Freeman. The premise is as followed: Living in Australia, there is a zombie pandemic outbreak and Martin and his wife and daughter are living on a boat...

I took a look at my list and decided to check out Ghost Stories. This is a British film, set in Britain. While Martin Freeman is in it, he is not necessarily the main character but he certainly plays his many parts well. The premise is as followed:...

Sticking with my Halloween plan, even though I am past my end date, I finally had a chance to check out Hereditary, starring Toni Collette. My first impression after viewing was what the hell did I just watch???!!! To be honest, I am surprised that I...

Tonight I was treated to this movie by son who called me out of the blue and asked me to dinner and a movie. I really felt like I won the lottery. So, naturally, I accepted. The premise is as followed: The movie opens up with a frumpy, down in the du...

I really enjoyed "Our Souls at Night" with him and Jane Fonda (together in Barefoot in the Park and The Electric Horseman) so I am looking forward to this one. We love heist movies. Spy Game was an interesting movie with him being the older spy with...

Barefoot in the Park is was one of the first movies I ever saw him in. What a hottie!!!! Aughghghghgh! Be still my beating heart! But believe it or not I have not seen him in The Sting, with the exceptional hottie Paul Newman! Those two, OMG!!!!!...

OMG The Sting is fabulous!! One of the all time best "heist" movies EVER, PERIOD. You gotta see it. I would put everything else on hold and watch The Sting next. -amanda from seattle

One of the all time best "heist" movies EVER, PERIOD. I totally agree - blown away by how clever the plot!! Best EVER!!! It was actually the first movie video I bought (something ridiculous like $70.) after I got a video tape player . . . back in the...

You mentioned Tom Waite. I wonder now if that may be a brother, or uncle, or some such of Ralph Waite who starred in The Waltons. Possibly a son, even. Has Robert Redford passed on, or just retiring from making movies?

You mentioned Tom Waite. Actually, it is Tom Waits, the musician and actor (I loved him in "Mystery Men").

Thanks, Wassa. Proud for you and your son. Good man!

I believe he is retiring from making movies. He did produce this film, so I don't know if it's acting and producing or just acting. csk Actually, it is Tom Waits Boris Badenov: Phooey! Foiled again! Natasha Fatale: Don't you mean, "Curses! Foiled a...

When the moose is right, he's right . . . Und vhen he ist vrong, he ist Vassa (Wassa).

Has Robert Redford passed on, or just retiring from making movies? He's alive and well. Google is our friend.

My annual Christmas movie plug: Every Xmas my grandfather would sit us down and make us watch "I Remember Mama". It is not Xmas movie. It is a movie about a Norwegian family who lives in the early 1900s in San Francisco. And it is, in my opinion the p...

I love old movies & Irene Dunn is superb. I will have to make a point to see this one!

I too look forward to seeing it each year! An oldie but goodie.

Ok I finally watched it and I loved it! Uncle Chris was my favorite character and then at the end I loved him even more. Thanks CSK for introducing it to me!

The Golden Globes are on tonight . . . Richard Madden has won for The Bodyguard and Michael Douglas has won for The Kominsky Method With high Kitty Paw ratings, I am not surprised. csk (But I did not see the rise of the FUJI water girl.)
