We’re having a dastardly good time here at the Great Villain Blogathon. What’s not to love about the impressive variety of films and villains?
Below are today’s posts. If you upload your post later this evening, never fear! We will include it in tomorrow’s recap, over at Shadows and Satin.
Enjoy!
The Wonderful World of Cinema looks at desperate escapee Glenn Griffin (Humphrey Bogart) in The Desperate Hours (1957).
Cinematic Catharsis analyzes the charismatic vampire Jerry Dandrige in Fright Night (1985).
Yes, I Know examines The Cinematic Life and Times of Professor James Moriarty.
Movies Silently explores the slightly twisted French surrealism of Onésime vs. Onésime (1912).
Micro-Brewed Reviews re-examines George Kennedy’s performance in the manly Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974).
Film Noir Archive ponders the nature of evil in Born to Kill (1947).
Plot and Theme provides a very different view of the Xenomorph in Alien (1979).
Christina Wehner issues a warning about Raymond Burr’s oozing menace in Pitfall (1948).
Speakeasy scopes out a marshmallowy man-child in The Man from Laramie (1955).
Classic Film Observations & Obsessions discusses the shocking impact of Tommy Udo in Kiss of Death (1947).

Hey Ruth. My blogathon article will be in tomorrow, on the last day. I was hoping to get it in sooner but have been a bit busy this week. Just thought I would let you know.

Sounds good! I will make a note of it on the list. Sadly, I will be out of town tomorrow & won’t be able to read/comment on Friday posts until after the weekend, but I’m really looking forward to seeing your thoughts on Sydney Greenstreet on Flamingo Road.

Personal issues have been going on on my end, so I will have to upload by late tonight or tomorrow, if that is fine. So sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks, Crystal. I was going to ask you about the old link, so I’m glad you sent this one. I’ve asked Kristina at Speakeasy to add it to the Day 6 recap. I’m travelling today, but will read all about Mr Greenstreet when I get home tonight. 🙂
