The Genies are tonight!

Celebrate the year in Canadian film tonight with the 28th Genie Awards. Check out IFC tonight at 10pm EST as Sandra Oh host's the awards. There are so many wonderful films up for awards this year that I'm sure it will be a treat to watch. I'll be twittering though them announcing the winners and so much more over at Movie Moxie on Twitter.

The Latest on TV: It's a Sin

Tomorrow, Turner Classic Movies revisits a simpler time, when girls on film could be bad and movie tough guys could get away with anything, with Forbidden Hollywood, a salute to the Pre-Code era, those halcyon days before the dreaded Hays Code took over the movie industry and ruined everything.

In addition to such "taboo" films starring some of the best early cinema sirens as Barbara Stanwyck (Night Nurse), Bette Davis (Three on a Match), Ruth Chatterton (Female) and Norma Shearer (in her Oscar-winning role as The Divorcée and A Free Soul, also starring Lionel Barrymore in his Oscar-winning role), a new TCM documentary on the subject, Thou Shalt Not Sin, will premiere.

And if you miss them tomorrow, all five films and the documentary will be released on DVD this Tuesday. Click here to pre-order TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection, Volume 2from Amazon.com.

Harley Quinn Romance

You would think that all the casting rumors about The Dark Knight would be over with by now, but now comes buzz that British actress Sarah Jayne Dunn (best known for her role on the English soap Hollyoaks) will play Harley Quinn, the Joker's sassy femme fatale sidekick.

Memo from Movie Dearest: 1,000 Strong

Here it is, just seven and half months after the debut of Movie Dearest: the 1,000th post! And really, with my Pepsi and personal trainer Trog here, I don't look a day over (oh, let's say) 965 posts ... don't I?

Thank you to all who make this fun, and here's to the next 1,000!

31 Days of Oscar: Lawrence of Arabia

Turner Classic Movies' "31 Days of Oscar" comes to a close tomorrow in a big way, with a salute to epics. And for most people, the film that most comes to mind when they hear that word is David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia.

Vast, sprawling, immense ... one could easily run out of superlatives to describe the cinematic adventures of T.E. Lawrence, portrayed by Peter O'Toole in what has been deemed the best film performance ever. As for the controversial subject of Lawrence's sexuality, homoeroticism is prevalent throughout the film; for example, José Ferrer's Turkish Bey can't keep his hands off our blonde, blue-eyed hero.

Winner of seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Lawrence of Arabia airs at 1:00 PM EST tomorrow on TCM.
