The image shows a cartoon character from The Simpsons. It is Ralph Wiggum, a young boy with yellow skin, a round face, and short straight hair cut in a bowl shape. He is standing with one finger near his mouth in a naive, thoughtful pose. Ralph is wearing a light blue long-sleeved shirt, white pants, a red belt, and gray shoes. Above him is a quiz question in white text on a dark background: “How is Ralph’s behavior in class often portrayed?” The answer appears in red text: “He gives seemingly random answers that sometimes contain surprising truth.” At the bottom, white text reads: “The Simpsons since 1989.”

The image is a pixel-art style portrait resembling a scene from a retro adventure video game. It shows a man in a black uniform and cap with insignia, indicating he is a german officer. His expression is calm but calculating, with piercing blue eyes. The background is dark, with hints of a frame around him, giving the sense that he is being confronted or examined. At the bottom of the image is a classic LucasArts-style adventure game interface, with verbs like: • Give, Open, Push, Pick up, Close, Pull, Use, Talk to, Walk There is also an inventory bar containing small pixel icons: • A pipe • A pistol • A magnifying glass • A notebook The highlighted action says “Walk to”, suggesting the player could move the character closer. The overall style mimics early 1990s point-and-click adventure games, blending cinema with retro gaming visuals.

Imagine a polite officer with impeccable manners, a taste for milk, and a rather extravagant pipe. Tell me: what film is this… and who am I?

The image shows a scene in retro pixel-art style, like an old point-and-click adventure game. In the center, a young boy is kneeling on a carpet with a bold red and brown geometric pattern. He wears a blue top and dark pants. The boy is leaning forward, playing with several small toys spread out on the floor: cars, a truck, a ball, and what looks like a fire engine. His posture appears focused and absorbed in play. At the bottom of the screen is a classic adventure game interface, displaying commands like “Give,” “Open,” “Push,” “Pick up,” “Use,” “Close,” “Pull,” “Talk to,” and “Walk.” Next to these are small inventory icons: a tricycle, a pointing finger, and a teddy bear.

REDRUM… REDRUM… I see things… a hotel lost in snow, hallways whispering secrets. Tell me: What’s the film called… and who am I?

The image is a pixel art scene in the style of a 1990s LucasArts adventure game. It shows a middle-aged man with glasses, dark hair, and a large build, sitting in a cluttered office. He wears a blue jacket and is holding a small red toy figure shaped like a skull in his hand. Behind him, computer screens glow in the dark room. One monitor displays the words “Isla Nublar”, referencing Jurassic Park, along with images of buildings or maps. Another monitor shows a blue interface. The desk is messy, with papers, a lamp, and a soda can. At the bottom of the image is the classic adventure game interface, with text commands such as “Give,” “Pick up,” “Use,” “Talk to,” “Open,” “Close,” “Push,” “Pull”. An inventory bar shows several items: a soda can, a yellow raincoat, a set of keys, a hamburger, a doughnut, and a piece of candy. The overall mood is dark, moody, and nostalgic, evoking the feel of retro computer games combined with Jurassic Park themes.

A pixel-art scene shows a tense man in a white tank top crawling through a dark ventilation shaft. His face is bruised, with a cut near his right eyebrow, and he looks wide-eyed and wary. In his right hand, he holds a lit lighter, the small flame casting a glow on his face and surroundings. At the bottom of the image, a retro game interface is displayed with classic adventure-style commands like “Give,” “Pick up,” “Use,” “Open,” and “Talk to.” Several inventory items are shown, including a badge, a walkie-talkie, a gun, and a roll of tape.

The image shows a pixel-art scene styled like a classic 1990s point-and-click adventure game. On the left, a dark-haired man in blue clothing sits on a simple chair, hunched forward as he writes in a small notebook or diary resting on his knees. His posture looks tense, as if he’s doing something secretive. On the right wall, a huge propaganda poster dominates the room. It shows the face of a stern-looking man with glasses staring directly outward. Beneath the face is a large red V-shaped symbol with the word INGSOC written across it. In the upper left corner, a small shelf holds a few dark bottles. The room itself is bare, with plain walls that give it the feeling of a sparse cell. At the bottom, a game interface bar is visible with commands such as “Give,” “Pick up,” “Use,” “Open,” “Close,” “Talk to,” “Push,” and “Pull.” Next to the commands is the inventory, which contains a diary, a pen, a small bottle, and a bandage. The overall atmosphere is one of tension, surveillance, and secrecy.

Guess the movie from the point-and-click game #11:
I write secrets in a forbidden diary, sip bitter gin, and fear the eyes on every wall. Can you tell me the name of my world—and who I am?

This image is a pixel-art style scene, designed to look like a 1990s point-and-click adventure game, and it recreates a famous moment from the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger. In the foreground, a man in a black outfit (James Bond) is lying flat on a metal table, arms stretched out, looking tense and helpless. Standing nearby, another man in a tuxedo watches him with a calculating expression—this is Goldfinger, Bond’s enemy. In the background, the room looks like a high-tech control area: large computers and monitoring screens fill the wall, with men in blue uniforms and a scientist in a white lab coat observing the scene. At the bottom of the image is a classic game interface with verbs like “Give,” “Pick up,” “Use,” “Open,” “Close,” “Talk to,” “Push,” and “Pull.” The inventory bar shows small pixel icons: a pistol, a wristwatch, a pack of cigarettes with a lighter, and two gold bars. The whole atmosphere suggests tension and danger, echoing the iconic scene where Bond is strapped to a table while Goldfinger prepares a deadly trap.

Guess the movie from the point-and-click game #10:
Shaken, not stirred… From this little adventure with a golden touch, can you tell me the name of the film—and, more importantly, who I am?

The image is a pixel-art style scene inspired by 1990s LucasArts adventure games. It shows a pirate captain, clearly modeled after Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean, standing confidently on the deck of a ship at sunset. He wears a dark brown pirate coat, a wide-brimmed tricorn hat decorated with long feathers, and has long dark hair and a small beard with braids. A belt with a pistol, straps, and various trinkets crosses his chest. His right hand rests on his hip, while his left grips a rope attached to the ship’s mast and crow’s nest. The sky behind him is filled with dramatic orange and yellow clouds, fading into blue at the top. At the bottom of the image is a classic point-and-click game interface with text commands like “Give,” “Pick up,” “Use,” “Open,” “Close,” “Talk to,” “Push,” and “Pull.” An inventory bar shows small pixel-icons of items: a flintlock pistol, a hook, a cutlass, a spyglass, a compass, a bottle of rum, a coil of rope, a pearl necklace, and several rings.

Guess the movie from the point-and-click game #9:
Arrr, take a gander at this glimpse of my little escapade – can ye name the tale and the dashing captain starin’ back at ye?

The Paramount Theatre: A Century of Applause
franksfilmreview.com/2025/08/05/t...

The Paramount Theater opened its doors on March 1, 1928, with a grand debut featuring the silent film Feel My Pulse, starring Bebe Daniels...

#FrankGaimari #Paramount #FranksFilmReview #SeattleTheatreGroup #STG

In 1930, it was renamed “Paramount Theatre” (previously Seattle Theatre), so the first major performance at the Paramount Theatre was actually “Honey” with Nancy Carroll :-)

Gloria Dickson by Scotty Welbourne, 1937. #botd

The film “They Won't Forget” (1937) was Gloria Dickson's best film. Her charisma and intensity in this film instantly made her a star – although her character dies relatively early on, her presence is felt throughout the film.

5 Hitchcock Films You Haven't Seen But Definitely Should A master of cinema and suspense. Read our list of 5 Alfred Hitchcock films that you probably haven't seen but definitely should.

Remembering master filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock on his birthday 🎂 🎬
Here are a few of his lesser-known movies we think are worth a watch. What is your favourite underrated Hitchcock movie?
#filmsky #moviesky #cinema
moremovies.co.uk/5-hitchcock-...

In his first real Hitchcock film, “The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog” (1927), he made his first cameo appearance out of pure necessity: there weren't enough extras for a scene, so he appeared himself as an editorial staff member. This later became his trademark.

What is a classic film everyone should watch at least once? 🎬

Frame of the Day

Adrienne Barrett in Dementia (1955). A film like a surreal nightmare in which reality and hallucination blur. As can be seen in the photo, a woman in the doorway whose shadow looms menacingly into the room is typical of the visual design—strong light-dark contrasts.

Blacula (1972) Directed by William Crain starring William Marshall and Vonetta McGee.

With a budget of around $500,000, the film grossed more than $7 million in the US – and did so well that a sequel (Scream Blacula Scream, 1973) was produced immediately.

Black and white photo of Ann Miller leaping gleefully in the air.

Ann Miller

One of her best films, Kiss Me Kate (1953), was shot using a new polarization 3D process at the time—that is, with two synchronized film cameras to create a sense of spatial depth. In one scene, she swung her leg toward the camera, which in 3D cinema looked as if she were stepping out of the screen.

"PSYCHO” (1960) dir. Alfred Hitchcock

Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, John Gavin, Martin Balsam

All five main actors had previously had contracts or multiple appearances in Universal or Paramount productions – Psycho was produced by Paramount but filmed at Universal Studios.
