Description: It's all about the snitches in two new Criterion releases
"...2000's Sexy Beast, by contrast, yields precedence to Stephen Frears' riotous return to the big screen, The Hit, from 1984. Though the director made his feature debut in 1972 with Albert Finney doing Humphrey Bogart in Gumshoe, Frears spent the succeeding dozen years in British TV, breaking out with The Hit before going on to make My Beautiful Laundrette, Prick Up Your Ears, Dangerous Liaisons, The Grifters, High Fidelity, and The Queen..."

Description: Smoke 'em while you still got 'em at Rolling Roadshow's The Maltese Falcon
"...films from that point on. In response, the story goes, Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, and John Huston, then hard at work on their adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon, decided the best thing to do would be to smoke as often as they possibly could onscreen, a schoolboy prank that drove Warner crazy and had the added bonus of enhancing the film's mood of tension and suspense, helping to make it a proto-film-noir classic...."

Description: Austin Public Library tackles Tough Guys and Feisty Femmes in a new film series. And it's free!
"...Shape-shifter Howard Hawks directed three films in the series (The Big Sleep, Bringing Up Baby, and Ball of Fire). Before there was Kevin Bacon, Hawks surely could have been a fine substitute for six degrees; almost every iconic face in the series – Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall – worked with him at some time or another..."

Description: Hepburn and Astaire say, 'Bonjours, Paris!' in the still-spry Funny Face
"...But take a closer look at the still-spry Funny Face: Not once does she break character when Fred Astaire – at 58, fully 30 years her senior – pitches woo to her sunny, funny face. Hepburn co-starred with the greats of Hollywood's golden age – Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant – but she typically got at them when they were way past their prime..."

"...A good junkie character, in other words, just like any good character in any movie, is a wide and roiling sea of contradictions, ambivalences, peaks, valleys, loves, hates, flesh, spirit, violence, and degradation – they just take those conditions and amplify them in the heat of overriding need. To paraphrase Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca: Junkies are just like us, only more so...."

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

Description: Starring Dustin Hoffman, Natalie Portman, and Jason Bateman, and directed by the writer of Stranger Than Fiction, Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium has whimsy coming out of its ears.  
by Josh Rosenblatt
"...Magorium’s Wonder Emporium has whimsy coming out of its ears. The man behind the man behind the onscreen emporium is writer/director Helm, the creator of 2006’s Stranger Than Fiction, which was also whimsical but had the common decency to be cynical as well and to co-star Emma Thompson, who made smoking look more essential to a full and happy life than any actor since Humphrey Bogart..."

Description: With his solo show 'A Christmas Carol Roasting on an Open Fire,' Rob Nash has lit a fire under Dickens' perennial fable like Austin's problem child with a grill
"...He's given the role of Scrooge to the quintessential bitch Bette Davis and cast other silver screen queens in the majority of the story's male roles while male movie stars portray the female characters. Every figure is an icon and every moment a cinematic allusion, as Nash spikes Dickens' holiday punch with famous movie quotes, such as Davis' "fasten your seat belts" line when the clock strikes or Humphrey Bogart's "hill of beans" speech from Casablanca delivered to Scrooge as the jilted Belle..."
