This year marks 60 years since Holly Golightly stepped on to Fifth Avenue in Breakfast at Tiffanys (1961) in her iconic LBD with its pearl back. Its a two-hour treat and I always pull my chair closer to the screen for a better view of Hubert de Givenchys costumes, especially those awesome funnel-neck coats. I dont even notice Grace Kellys voice anymore when watching High Society (1956). All I see are those achingly gorgeous costumes, designed by MGMs Helen Rose, who went on to design Kellys wed...

January 12, 2021 Hulu 2020 was a strange year for movies. We had a pandemic that hit theaters in a bad way by mid-2020, causing most studios to pull movies out of their release schedules and shoved them deep into 2021 instead. As a result, we got less blockbuster releases compared to 2019 - which had Avengers: Endgame and Joker, for example.
