TV Quote # 67 – Private Eyes – Season 1, Episode 7: “Karaoke Confidential”
Nolan (Cle Bennett): Sometimes even good cops can go Ahab. Shade (Jason Priestley): So Tyrell’s his white whale. Nolan: Didn’t take you for a literary man. Shade: Yeah, I saw it on The Simpsons.
Get Out (2017) – reviewed by George
My friend Janie recommended this movie, saying that it’s not a horror film, but it’s very creepy. She also thinks it should have won the Oscar for Best Picture rather than “The Shape of Water”. Well, she’s certainly on target … Continue reading

Jessie Matthews in “The Good Companions” (1933) – reviewed by George
This movie starts out as an anthology tale, then as the characters come together, it transforms into a musical love story. Jess Oakroyd (Edmund Gwenn) has been very unfairly treated at work today. He was told to stand in a … Continue reading

Strangers on a Train (1951) – reviewed by George
This is a suspense gem from the mind of the superlative psychological-mystery writer Patricia Highsmith, author of “The Talented Mr. Ripley” and four sequels, “This Sweet Sickness”, and so on. Always preferring to watch rather than to read, I have … Continue reading

Barbarella (1968)-Reviewed by Anita **
If you are looking for a good time at a bad movie Barbarella is in the can. Directed by Roger Vadim, starring Jane Fonda, this science fiction is a bomb. That being said it is also a cult classic. … Continue reading
Apple Dumpling Gang (1975)-Reviewed by Anita ***
While on a Don Knotts theme, another fun family film is Disney’s Apple Dumpling Gang. This is a heart-warming western about three poor orphans, and a wayward gambler who fall together in becoming a family. The bonus is the comedic … Continue reading
The Incredible Mr. Limpet (1964)-Reviewed by Anita ***.5
If you (as both George and I) enjoyed The Ghost & Mr. Chicken, staring Don Knotts then I have another suggestion I believe you will enjoy as well; The Incredible Mr. Limpet– ranks right up there. It is a real family … Continue reading

Don Knotts in “The Reluctant Astronaut” (1967) – reviewed by George
This is a funny movie, but again there’s that frustration with a major character. Royal Fleming (Don Knotts) finds it absolutely impossible not to bury the lead. If he wants to say, “I’m not really an astronaut; I’m a janitor”, … Continue reading
