THE REVERSE DORIAN GRAY EFFECT
Everyone knows all about Oscar Wilde's 1890 novel, THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY and the principle involved therein. To wit, Basil Hallward paints his portrait and Dorian declares that he would give his soul if he could always remain young and the painting instead would grow old.
The wish is granted and Dorian pursues a life of wild abandon full of amoral experiences while staying young; meanwhile, his portrait ages and captures every sin.
Well, I've discovered it is more terrifying the other way around!

Yes! It's even worse to see your picture staying young and fresh while you slowly deteriorate and fall apart piece by piece!

STAN & OLLIE Blu-Ray is here!
I finally got my copy of Jon S. Baird's film STAN & OLLIE starring John C. Reilly as Oliver Hardy and Steve Coogan as Stan Laurel.
The film has its faults, no doubt and relatives of Hal Roach may have some issues with it but all in all, it's a wonderful film, very entertaining and lovingly assembled by everyone associated with the production. Highly recommended, I will surely enjoy it repeatedly for years to come.
I posted my review a few months ago.
You can take a look here:
