While researching an article, my husband heard about St. John Cantius Parish (Chicago), which offers the Tridentine Mass. Being only a thirty minute drive, we decided to make the trip for my first Tridentine Mass ever on January 1st, the feast day of Mary, Mother of God. Being in awe of the Mass, we decided to return on the Epiphany (yesterday). Gregorian chant was heard almost completely throughout the Mass by their choir of just a few individuals. The Tridentine Mass itself is the most beautiful, heavenly, and fluid Mass I could ever imagine. No altar girls, no Eucharistic ministers,...

Commenter Other Stories saw what I did this weekend and put it best: Love TMC! But did anyone catch the weekend host Ben Mankiewicz (had to Google to find his name) snide comments regarding “A Face in the Crowd”? If you’re not familiar with the film, it starred Andy Griffith and he portrayed an evil media personality who fools the public by coming across as a likable down to earth kind a fella. Host Mankiewicz openly wondered if the producers had been able to see 50 years into the future and witnessed how people in this country were being manipulated...

New research at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston suggests that ancient Chinese herbal formulas used primarily for cardiovascular indications including heart disease may produce large amounts of artery-widening nitric oxide. Findings of the preclinical study by scientists in the university's Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine for the Prevention of Human Diseases (IMM) appear in the Sept. 15 print issue of the journal Free Radical Biology & Medicine. Nitric oxide is crucial to the cardiovascular system because it signals the inner walls of blood vessels to relax, which facilitates the flow of blood through the heart...

Roman Catholic, Anti-Communist Republican classic movie director Leo McCarey's "Once Upon A Honeymoon"(1942) with Republican movie superstars Ginger Rogers & Cary Grant. is airing on TCM on Monday morning. From its title, stars & director one might think it's a light romantic comedy like Grant's "The Awful Truth" and Miss Rogers' "It Had to Be You." And while it's partly in that genre, it's also a WII spy adveture. It's loads of fun to watch if you're a fan of Ginger, Cary, Walter Slezak(as Ginger's villainous Nazi husband), McCarey or 1940s WWII propaganda films. It also provides evidence that there...

It has been said that director Howard Hawks made Rio Bravo (1959) as a reaction to two popular westerns which angered him - High Noon (1952) and 3:10 to Yuma (1957). His comment on the former was, "I didn't think a good sheriff was going to go running around town like a chicken with his head off asking for help, and finally his Quaker wife had to save him." Hawks also considered 3:10 to Yuma, which had outlaw Glenn Ford playing psychological games with lawman Van Heflin, "a lot of nonsense." So Rio Bravo was the director's take on heroism...

Ronald Reagan Profile Films in bold will air in March Asked by Bob Hope what it felt like to be president, Ronald Reagan replied, "it's not a lot different than being an actor, except I get to write the script."

As a recent book of the diaries Reagan kept as president shows, he was ever mindful of the Production Code, avoiding swear words, and...

TCM honors Ronald ReaganBy Hal BoekekerMarch 4, 2009 Before he made it big in Washington, President Ronald Reagan did pretty well in Hollywood. So well, in fact, that TCM has named Reagan its Star of the Month and will play 31 of his films on Wednesday nights in March. "I didn't remember he had done all these movies," daughter Patti Davis says. "I think it will make people say there was a whole life before politics. He was made fun of for the movie with the monkey, but he was a working actor." That movie with the monkey was Bedtime...

TCM Host Robert Osborne: Actor Was ‘Genuine Movie Star’ By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 4/7/2008 2:44:00 PM Turner Classic Movies slated a 15-hour marathon April 11-12 (2:30 p.m.-5:30 a.m. April 12) to salute the late Charlton Heston. Heston, who died over the weekend at age 84, was an Oscar-winning actor whose imposing frame and voice made him the film industry's choice for a number of classic roles.
