“Beacon 23” Review

Beacon 23: Created by Zak Penn. With Lena Headey, Stephan James, Wade Bogert-O’Brien, Natasha Mumba. A man living in the 23rd Century works at a remote “lighthouse” in space that serves as a beacon to help passing ships.

I had no clue that MGM had their own streaming service and I don’t think I knew that Lena Headey was doing a hard science fiction series until about a week before it started. It’s a well done short season with one or two sets, but with multiple groups of actors, I don’t think there was a single episode where it was the same people on the Beacon at the same time for the entire episode, always with new comers, late leavers and time time jumps back to when important things were happening decades earlier. It’s good and was just approved for a second season, so we have that to look forward to some day.

Mickey, Disney, and the Public Domain: a 95-year Love Triangle | Duke University School of Law

by Jennifer Jenkins, Director, Duke Center for the Study of the Public Domain CC BY 4.0 On January 1, 2024, after almost a century of copyright protection, Mickey Mouse, or at least a version of Mickey Mouse, will enter the public domain. The first movies in which the iconic mouse appeared – Steamboat Willie and the silent version of Plane Crazy­[1] – were made in 1928 and works from that year go into the public domain in the United States on New Year’s Day 2024.[2] The public domain has had some famous recent arrivals, but this is the most anticipated entry yet. Why?

“I Love Trouble” Review

I Love Trouble: Directed by S. Sylvan Simon. With Franchot Tone, Janet Blair, Janis Carter, Adele Jergens. P.I. Stu is hired to investigate the past of a millionaire Johnson’s wife who is missing. Stu finds that the wife had left her home town with an actor, went to college using a stolen identity and purloined $40,000 from a night club.

Starring Franchot Tone as a slick talking private eye on a seemingly small time case that turns into something much larger and a series of some of Hollywood’s most beautiful women from the time: Janis Carter, Janet Blair, Adele Jergens, and gem of my eye, Glenda Farrell as the PI’s girl Friday. She has much more of a role this time around, much to my delight, but she’s not the star, so the majority of the screen time is Mr Tone’s. He does very well with it though and I’m happy to say this is a fantastic mystery story that starts off fast at a 1948 Bank of America and ends with bodies in the ocean and women lining up for one final kiss. It’s often difficult to go back to the source for modern tropes, and there’s none used more than a murder mystery, but “I Love Trouble” has enough unique and captivating elements to it that even though the movie just celebrated it’s 75th anniversary it’s still as fresh as the day it originally hit the silver screen.
