Now up on the website it's another episode of "UnEarthed". This time, your humble MCMedia archaeologist runs into a fellow explorer. A terrible World War 2 movie leads me to a prolific cowboy actor who made a landmark film in Newfoundland of all places. "The Viking" (1931) is half-a-documentary that has gone down in history as the film on which the most people lost their lives. Follow me....

Kim Novak never looked lovelier. New up on the site is a discussion of her 1960 star turn opposite Kirk Douglas in “Strangers When We Meet”. This is an engaging “soap opera” with a great cast, an excellent location shoot and featuring a house that was built for the film that still stands today.

In a fresh article up on the site, we discuss “Paris Blues”, an excellent autumn movie that actually also qualifies as a jazz movie. Read all about the time two girls went to Paris and fell for a couple of expat jazzbos. #parisblues #paris #france #movie #review #moviereview #wordpress #blogger #blog #paulnewman #diahanncarroll #jazz #louisarmstrong #dukeellington
Today’s tie is Cherry Coke and it’s tied in the Murrell knot; a silly knot, really, that has the tail of the tie on top. And the phrase “wears like iron” was made for this Dacron suit - my favourite - from @haggarcanada. #fashion #clothes #suit #suits #ties #mensfashion #mensstyle #menstyle #remembranceday #www2c #churchclothes
A fresh article up on the website looks at an album most people won’t be familiar with. Before Gordon Jenkins provided lush backgrounds for @sinatra and Nat Cole, he created this delightful slice of mid-century Manhattan.

Roy Orbison endured many personal tragedies while cutting a unique swath through music history. He enjoyed one of the better victory laps although it was sadly cut short. My brand new article on Roy is up on the website.
