Decided to cover an underground gem from the mid-90s that most people will be surprised to learn has a lot of fur fashion. Also decided to see how many readers could pick up on sarcasm. Yes, it’s Casino, the film that associated Sharon Stone with “chinchilla” in certain circles. It’s also the ‘90s, so it… Read More Furs on Film – Casino (1995)
Today we learn that there are sequels that are better than the original. Unfortunately, it’s because we’re talking about the original. The Stud was the first of what might have been a trilogy, but, despite the success of the sequel (The Bitch), a third film was never made. Thus Forever Lulu remains the top 1980s… Read More Furs on Film – The Stud (1978)
I have neglected the classics over the past year but will fold some good Old Hollywood films back into the program. What better way to start than with a new entry in the 20% club? Okay, thanks to a lot of ermine, it gets across the finish line, but it’s legit. It is our latest… Read More Furs on Film – Every Day’s a Holiday (1937)
It’s a Saturday and a movie from 2002, so it’s probably a period piece. This one is a musical, which is generally regarded as a lot better than the last musical I covered. Chicago is set in the 1920s, and I suspect there’s a little “embellishment” in the costume department, but that works out well… Read More Furs on Film – Chicago (2002)
The late 80s: fur is on the way out, and mediocre comedy is on the way in. Thus we find ourselves at one of Dan Aykroyd’s less beloved comedies: The Couch Trip. We’re in luck, though, because this update has nothing at all to do with Aykroyd. The Couch Trip – The Film The overarching… Read More Furs on Film – The Couch Trip (1988)
We return to what this blog is known for, reviewing fur fashion in terrible movies. This week, it is the later Richard Burton vehicle Bluebeard. Burton went from one of the most respected dramatic actors in Hollywood to closing out his career with a guest spot on The Fall Guy. This is also a period… Read More Furs on Film – Bluebeard (1972)
Well, it’s December, and the best I can do now is a movie with snow. Having snow is one of the few things the 3rd installment in this series has going for it. Yes, this week’s review is a film that should have been subtitled When A Series Overstays its Welcome, but they went with… Read More Furs on Film – The Mummy 3 (2008)
Time to play “how quickly can I get a copyright claim on Youtube” with the most recent film I have ever reviewed: Respect. Since it came out in 2021 and has real fur, you better believe it’s a period piece, just like everything else I have reviewed released after 2010. You’d think there was something… Read More Furs on Film – Respect (2021)
It’s DVD time! Unlike The Gumshoe Kid, there is an outside chance American Dreamer may one day be delivered in a slightly higher resolution, but for now, we will have to make do with advanced technology. This exemplifies that we’re still at the “garbage in, garbage out” stage of AI upscaling. There’s only so much… Read More Furs on Film – American Dreamer (1984)
Turns out there are still some period pieces left to mine from the first couple decades of the 21st century. This one dips back to the other greatest fur decade of all time, the 1930s. That decade isn’t quite as popular because many of you don’t seem to understand that black and white is not… Read More Furs on Film – Serena (2014)
