Dish of the Day


Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:

Today on TCM:


This will be a really bad day for anyone who encounters Them! (the giant mutant ants that is). The 1954 motion picture, however, is an exhilarating creature feature, previously reviewed here. Them! will march on TCM Monday, July 31 at (early morning) 3 am PDT.

We go from one type of cinematic “bad day” immediately into another with 1955's modern-day take on the American Western, Bad Day at Black Rock, previously reviewed here, as well as being a former entry in Eddie Muller’s Noir Alley. * This exceptional suspense-thriller's day will occur on TCM Monday, July 31 at 4:45 am PDT.

* which may come as a surprise for those who, unlike myself, do not consider this to be a film noir.

TCM's current monthly schedule can be confirmed by clicking on either of the above images. For those who live in parts of the U.S. other than the western region, the time zone can be adjusted in the upper right-hand corner of TCM's programme.

Hope to see you tomorrow..
