First will be the Rudolph Valentino Blogathon on March 15, hosted by Timeless Hollywood. I'll be reviewing one of my favorite Valentino movies, The Eagle (1925). It's kind of a Russian sort of Zorro story, and loads of fun.
And then comes the Goldblum Fest, which runs March 23-29, hosted by Musings of an Introvert. I'l be reviewing the wonderful western Silverado (1985) for that one. It's one of my Ten Favorite Westerns, and I can't wait to watch it again so I can do a proper review.
And finally, there's the Favourite TV Show Episode Blogathon, which runs March 27-29 and is hosted by A Shroud of Thoughts. I hadn't considered joining this blogathon until I discovered that no one was writing about Combat!, and we can't have that. So I'll be writing about "The Walking Wounded," of course.
And how come I haven't seen The Eagle?? That sounds totally like a fun movie. I'm thinking of doing the Goldblum Fest as well. I was thinking Silverado or Grand Budapest Hotel, so that makes the decision easy. :-D
ReplyDeleteUm, cuz I bought "The Eagle" as part of a collection, it's not on our J disc.
DeleteGlad I made your decision easy! I had forgotten his part of GBH -- isn't that awful?
Ahaha. Jeff Goldblum. Hahaha.
ReplyDelete:-D
Can't wait for your Silverado review!!! It's one of my favorite westerns as well. :-)
You changed your name! I was like, "Who is this Emma, Plain and Tall person?" and then I read your comment, and realized you must be Emma Jane with a new name :-) It's cute! I like it. Those books are really great.
DeleteSilverado is wonderful!
... Goldblum was in a western?!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to read whatever you write about it, just to get the scoop on that. Haha.
Hee! Indeed he was. Playing a cardsharp :-D
Delete*snort* He seriously plays a cardsharp? That is HILARIOUS!
DeleteNow I'm going to have to watch it. Is it part of the Lonesome Dove series? I swear my parents own it. I'll have to go raid their dvds.
In a very Goldblummy way -- he's nicknamed Slick, wears the most enormous buffalo coat ever, and carries a knife in his boot.
DeleteIt's not at all related to Lonesome Dove. JG is kind of a side character -- it's mostly about Kevin Kline and Scott Glenn, and also Danny Glover and Kevin Costner.
I haven't seen a Valentino film in ages, but I did like both of his Sheik movies. I think I also saw Blood & Sand? Was that him?
ReplyDeleteThe blogathon for favorite tv episodes sounds interesting! I think I'll do one for I Love Lucy. Can't let that show be forgotten!
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I love both Sheik movies. Love love love love those. And yes, the original Blood and Sand is Valentino too. There's a remake with Tyrone Power I haven't seen yet.
DeleteSo cool that you'll be joining up! I love I Love Lucy :-)
