    There are many who would dispute this movie as anyone's favorite!  However, Frequency is one of my favorites, because of the wonderful performances that makes one want to believe that anything is possible, just because one cares about the characters.

    The premise of the movie is simple:  a strong solar storm, much like what we have experienced of late, allows a son to reconnect with his father, who is alive and well in the past, thirty years earlier, via a ham radio connection.  While the aurora borealis flickers in the sky, the son and the father have a tenuous radio conversation.

    The father, Frank Sullivan, played brilliantly by Dennis Quaid, was a fire fighter, who died bravely in the line of duty on October 12, 1969.  His son, John Sullivan, who adored him, is now a member of the NYPD force, and is played by John Caviezel.  John realizes that he is actually talking with his father, thirty years earlier, and warns him, just before static fades the radio signal.

    On the other side of the Mrs. Miniver story is Hope and Glory, 1987-- a wonderful film about wartime London from the viewpoint of Billy Rohan, a young lad for whom the blitz is one long adventure after another!  Filled with warmth and humor, Hope and Glory allows us to see the war from the viewpoint of a child, whose greatest sadness, with death and destruction a daily happening around him, is the melting of his lead soldiers.

    The Rohan family lives in a middle-class suburb of London, and are gathered in the garden on that truly beautiful September day when Britain declares war on Germany.  From that day forward, their lives were never to be the same again.

    First, Clive, Billy's father, enlists in the army.  Somewhat inebriated, he leaves the local pub with a friend, slamming the friend's hand in the door, and, as he grinds the gears with great finesee, his friend must run faster and faster beside the car to keep up.  Little Sue, Billy's sister, finally tells her father, "Daddy, you've slammed his fingers in the door!"  Priceless moment!

    Hey, folks!  I'm so glad that you're still with me on Cat Movie Classics!

    I need to tally and announce the winners of Round #2, make more pictures, mail more prizes, etc.  But, time, of late, has been of the essense...  It is with great regret that I must announce that the next couple of weeks are going to be so hectic, I don't know if I can maintain the schedule of a daily movie.

    I have a board meeting on Monday, another meeting Tuesday morning, then I set up for the water festival, then on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, I'm teaching 380 kids about groundwater at the water festival.  Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, we are going to be 'out of pocket', and then Wednesday of the following week, I have one day to get ready for a meeting on Thursday, and big meeting Thursday, and another board meeting on Friday.

    Well, some Cat Movie Classic pictures turned out better than others!  I can tell that I'm improving, learning new techniques, and getting a bit better-- not that there isn't a LOT of room for improvement!

    However, there are some that I like better than others, from an artistic viewpoint, perhaps.  (And for those of you out there that don't know me that well, I'm a scientist, not an artist.  So ANY improvement is a big deal to me!)

    Please view the pictures below and see which one you like the best, from an artistic viewpoint, please-- and vote for your favorite!  (I want to see how I'm doing...)  Plus, I chose the ones that I thought turned out the best, from the techically difficult standpoint, too...

    Welcome to Cat Movie Classics!

    "Cat Movie Classics" is a puzzle about a classic movie, published as often as possible, (I'm trying for one each day... but I may not make that!) Players accumulate points, and real honest to goodness prizes will be awarded at the end of each round. (Please don't expect much! It has to be something I can afford and something I can mail!)

    Guess the name of the movie from the picture provided. The picture will be a depiction of a scene from the movie, or from the original Movie Poster. However, instead of people-- cats, (and occasionally dogs), will be the "stars" of the scenes!

    Each round of play will consist of 20 movies. Don't worry if you're 'behind', because the more trivia that you submit, the more points you can get! Research is allowed, for sure!

    Points are awarded as follows:

    • First to correctly name the movie, 1 point;
    • Anyone that names the movie, 1 point;
    • Anyone that names the director, lead actor, lead actress, 1 point each;
    • Bonus points awarded for trivia about the movie, 1 point each; AND
    • Occasionally a really original wrong guess will still recieve a bonus point!
    • And, due to popular demand, some horrendous puns will be awarded bonus points!

    RULE UPDATE: Since some of you are having trouble getting here in a timely manner, (for whatever reason, and I do understand), you may contact me, via email with your answer, up to 24 hours after the answer is given, to receive your points. This is on the honor system!!!! No fair peeking!

    Here is the next Cat Movie Classic:

    Welcome to Cat Movie Classics!

    This is a little puzzle/game, designed to test your knowledge of various classic movies!  Guess the title of the classic  movie from the picture provided.  Remember that cats, (and occasionally dogs), will take the place of humans in the scene.  The scene is staged from one of the scenes of a classic movie, or an advertisement for the movie. 

    The next day, the answer will be given, and the scores tallied!  (I know I'm behind right now, but my score sheet was at home and we were at the camper because we had no power...)  I'll post the new scores tonight!

    Here is the next movie classic:

     

     

     Good Luck!  Don't forget that extra points are awarded for the names of the director, stars, or other movie trivia!

    Thanks for coming by to see me!

     

    OK, Because it is NO FUN if you can't win-- here is another clue:

    Welcome to Cat Movie Classics!

    This is a little game/puzzle! The object of the game is to guess the Movie Classic, from the picture provided. The hint may be a screen shot from the movie, or an advertisement that includes specific movie elements. I'll post a movie as often as I can get it ready, using the cats, (uncooperative little beasts that they are), instead of people! Twenty four hours after posting the picture, I'll give the Movie title!

    In this picture, little Pharoah is dressed in his suit and tie...  What's the name of the movie?

    Good Luck!

    Thanks for stopping by!

  • Another pitiful article brought to you by Merle T Wiler but I do want to thank Waydown1942 for suggesting it so he needs to share the pain.

    You know what I mean. A great, average or even a crappy movie can be made great by an individual performance by a single performance regardless of the overall worth of the movie. It doesn't have to be a big mega star to count but sometimes you see a movie with such a great performance that all you can say is WOW.

    My number one nomination is Joe Pesci in Goodfellas. Now don't get me wrong. This would be a good movie without Joe Pesci as it did star Robert NeNiro and Ray Liotta but good old Joe did make the movie in my opinion. His language, mannerisms and sense of timing turned this movie into what could have been a good movie into a great movie. I could watch his scenes over and over and over again no crap. I haven't checked but did he win an Oscar for this? If he didn't he was ripped off big time.

    My honorable mention has to go to Bela Lugosi for his starring role in the Ed Wood classic Bride of The Monster. Without Bela this movie would be pure crap and even with him it is still pure crap but he at least made the effort near the end of his storied career. The scene where he fought the giant octopus will be seared in my memory forever.

    Any other opinions out there? If you enjoy my article please make sure you give it a vote. The more votes the more visible it will be and the more responses it will get and blah blah blah.
