I have been watching me some Turner Classic Movies.

Those old movies beat the hell out of anything they are making today.

If you like TCM films, you will like The Artist.

Best new film I’ve seen in 20 years.

It’s a silent film ABOUT a silent film star - on his way down, due to the advent of talkies; it simultaneously follows the rise of his female protege, who becomes a big star in the new talkies.

Great great film.
