23skidoo 15th Mar 2023		Cinema Rock Around The Clock (1956)	"Rudy's Rock" is singled out because it's the only song by Haley that's performed "live" the rest being mimed recordings (he hadn't recorded a studio version of it yet!). Oddly, though, Freddy Bell's songs don't match the Mercury studio recordings either and may also have been done "live" but are listed as from recordings. Incredibly, the actual song Rock Around the Clock is never heard in its entirety in the film; a portion plays over the opening credits, the intro is reprised in a montage scene, and at the end while the whole song is more or less performed, a dialogue scene plays out over all but the last verse. No wonder there were cinema riots!
23skidoo 4th Jan 2022		Cinema Don't Knock The Rock (1956)	Interestingly, the credits omit the Comets number "Goofin' Around" which, while still mimed from a recording (unlike the case with the Rock Around the Clock film and Rudy's Rock there isn't a live Haley performance in this film), they used an alternate take of the song that has never been released.
23skidoo 5th Sep 2018		Cinema Superman	Although the description says the title screen is taken from the trailer, I don't recall seeing any trailer using that logo for this film. The classic logo was always used, or just the S shield.
23skidoo 5th Sep 2018		Cinema Casino Royale	The lead image doesn't look like the title screen for the movie. Is it from a trailer?
23skidoo 6th Jan 2016		Cinema In The Loop (2009)	Rated 10/10 One of the best satires I've ever seen. I'm a fan of The Thick of It and it is quite something to see Malcolm Tucker given free reign on the big screen. Though I never understood why they decided to make new characters for most of the Thick of It cast instead of letting them join Capaldi in playing their original roles. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
