Liam Neeson in "BLACKLIGHT" In Theatres on February 11 -- Watch The Trailer HERE!

 


From Briarcliff Entertainment

"BLACKLIGHT"

Coming To Theaters February 11, 2022

 

Trust, identity, and the danger of unchecked power push a covert operative to the edge in director Mark Williams’ intense action thriller Blacklight. 

Travis Block (Neeson) lives and fights in the shadows. A freelance government “fixer,” Block is a dangerous man whose assignments have included extracting agents out of deep-cover situations. 

When Block discovers a shadowy program called Operation Unity is striking down ordinary citizens for reasons known only to Block’s boss, FBI chief Robinson (Quinn), he enlists the help of a journalist (Raver-Lampman), but his past and present collide when his daughter and granddaughter are threatened. 

Now Block needs to rescue the people he loves and expose the truth for a shot at redemption. Nothing and no one is safe when secrets are hidden in Blacklight.

Did Moe Miss His Cue? ("Three Stooges" Intro w/Joe Besser) (video)

 


When Joe Besser replaced Shemp, a new intro was filmed...

...in which the boys sing their patented "Hello, hello, hello!"

But when it fades in, we see that Moe isn't quite ready.

He's still glancing from side to side...

...and clearing his throat.

But that's why we love him.

Great 3 Stooges Running Gag: "How To Cook Pancakes" (video)

 


Pancakes are a pretty simple thing to cook...

...until the Stooges get behind the stove.

When that happens, it's "batter up"!

A POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL -- Movie Review by Porfle

 


Currently watching: Mary Pickford in A POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL (1917). 
 
Mary is at her best here, as the tiny (5'1") actress plays a sweetly rambunctious 11-year-old girl (Mary was actually 25) who craves love and attention while her wealthy parents have no time for her and household staff abuse her. 
 
Highlights include Mary inviting some street urchins in for a mud fight in the greenhouse, and a disastrous playdate with a snooty, spoiled rich girl. 
 
 
Silent Era : Home Video Reviews 


Very well made with a realistic setting that looks like an actual mansion, sharp direction and photography, and nice special effects and color tinting during the climactic dream sequence as Mary's character fights for life after an accidental "sleep medicine" overdose. 
 
She imagines herself on a fairyland quest for happiness that resembles "The Wizard of Oz", with three people from her real life--a plumber, an organ grinder, and a sympathetic servant--as her fantasy companions. 
 
 

 
The sequence contains some very surreal touches, some of which even have a David Lynch quality.
 
The print used for the Alpha Video DVD is of very good quality for a film made in 1917. A POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL is essential viewing for Mary Pickford fans.
