Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1955)
I hated this so much. Let me start at the beginning. There was another televised version – 1950, United Kingdom – that I tried to find with no luck, so I was forced to abandon my search and move on to the next. I don’t know what could have been. I want to believe that… Continue reading

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1941)
So, look, this adaptation of Jekyll & Hyde is definitely not as bad as I thought it was going to be. It has a lot of major players here! Tracy, Turner, and Bergman. That is some star power! That said, this is an outright remake of the 1931 film, with minor differences here and there.… Continue reading

Random Movie Update
So, I haven’t exactly been watching too many movies within the last 2-3 weeks. You know how readers fall into reading slumps? I think I fell into a movie/watching slump.

Today, I’m going to list the movies first and then give you which I rated highest, lowest, and which movie is smack dab in ‘meh’… Continue reading

Movies I Can’t Stop Watching: My Comfort Picks
I have way too many comfort movies. There is no way for me to list the many, many movies I have watched to the point of memorization. I swear, there is a button in my brain. When that button is activated, whatever is in my line of vision at the time will become my entire… Continue reading

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1912)
Is it too soon to revisit our misguided friend Dr. Jekyll? I think it might be too soon. You see, I had expected to watch a different adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel, wait a week or two while I gathered my thoughts, and post something completely unrelated to this current project in the meantime.… Continue reading

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886)
Problem one: Why doesn’t Siemelle have a copy of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? Solution: Purchase Book. Done. Problem two: Siemelle owns 1.7 million books and may get distracted by all the pretty colors and the promise of all those enemies-to-lovers tropes. Solution: Siemelle reminds herself that she is trying to… Continue reading
