Flashback: Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison

Posted in Comedy, Drama, Flashback, Netflix, Review, tagged , , on July 17, 2008 | 6 Comments »

Robert Mitchum is seriously one of my favorite actors of all time. I don’t know why Mitchum doesn’t get the acclaim he so rightly deserves. I often feel like Mitchum gets relegated to the second string behind guys like Jimmy Stewart and others of his generation and it’s always puzzled me. [...]

Flashback: From Dusk Till Dawn

Wow, I had not seen From Dusk Till Dawn in…forever.
