MTV and Michael Jackson arrived on the North American scene at pretty much the same time and they were perfectly suited to each other. Jackson used MTV from the very beginning to share his visual style and his music where people could hear and see his music. He started thinking of his songs as scripts and created stories out of them and called them 'short films' rather than 'music videos.'
The first music video to be initiated into the Library of Congress National Film Registry was Michael Jackson's Thriller. That song had a huge impact at the time of its release. I remember staying home the night that video was released to watch it on television and being totally amazed by it.

Michael Jackson's Vision was released on November 22, 2010.

The Movie Posters 2015 Wall Calendar from the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress is a wonderful collector's item or source of inexpensive artwork for anyone who loves the movies. This one crosses many genres of movies including as it does classic movies like Breakfast at Tiffany's, Star Wars, Seven Brides and Seven Brothers, Giant and It's A Wonderful Life.
All told there are twelve images, each one featuring iconic movie figures like Audrey Hepburn, Mark Hamill or Cary Grant in a very famous movie moment depicted on a movie poster.
This calendar was produced by The National Film Registry and National Film Registration Board whose mandate was to rescue lost and abandoned movies. Proceeds from the sale of every calendar originally went to help save those films.
AVAILABILITY
Old, out-of-print calendars like this one from 2015 are best sourced on eBay. I checked today to see if I could find it but I did find these other movie poster-themed calendars. If this exact one doesn't turn up, maybe you will find another one.
The title of this movie is mysterious and will have you wondering what the movie called The House with a Clock in its Walls is all about. I had previously seen trailers and was intrigued but it was not until Halloween 2023 that my husband and I put this 2018 movie on to watch.
The story, is based on a children's novel by John Bellairs and Edward Gorey. The movie tells the story of a clever 10-year old boy named Lewis Barnavelt (played by Owen Vaccaro) who goes to live with his slightly odd uncle, Jonathan Barnavelt (played by Jack Black) and his friend and neighbor Florence Zimmerman, (played by Cate Blanchett). It turns out that his uncle's house is full of mystery and intrigue and danger. It's the first children's spooky movie from Eli Roth, director of a number of adult horror stories. Roth considers this film a "starter horror movie" for families and tweens. Here's the official trailer:
PROFESSIONAL REVIEWS
Common Sense Media gave the movie 3 stars saying, "it isn't a masterpiece, but it's just spooky and funny enough to entertain young moviegoers who are new to the horror genre."
Simon Abrams on Roger Ebert.comcalled the movie, "basically watchable" was fairly critical and gave the film a 2.5 star rating.
Finally, The Hollywood Reporter calls the interactions between Black and Blanchett (that Simon Abrams did not like) an "enjoyably unlikely pairing."
WHO IS IT SUITABLE FOR?
Common Sense Mediarecommends the movie for children aged 11 and up. They say, in their Parents Need to Know Section, that "the movie is very creepy, and that there are a few scenes that are downright jump-worthy for kids. There are scary toys and dolls, ominous sounds, a demon, witchcraft, necromancy, and the occult" but they also say "that good ultimately prevails against the forces of evil." Within the story are also a few injuries, a few milder curse words and an exchange of insults. It is not a lightly frightening movie but it does have messages about "teamwork, perseverance, friendship and facing your fears."
MY THOUGHTS
The House with a Clock in its Walls is part fantasy, part horror and part comedy. It's a supposed children's movie that might be too scary for your children so beware. Consider Common Sense Media's age recommendation from above, KNOW YOUR CHILDREN and pre-watch the movie if you are unsure.
As an adult, I enjoyed way this movie was able to go, as one reviewer said, from "really funny to pretty freakin' scary" and I loved the house and all of its trappings. I think that this movie is just the sort of movie that might become a cult favorite in the way that Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, Under Wraps and The Peanut Butter Solution have. Also a fun movie for adults who don't want a horrific horror film. I loved the baby scene!
BLU-RAY VERSION
With regard to the Blu-ray version, High-Def Digest says, "The enchanting fantasy flick casts its charm on Blu-ray with a mesmerizing picture quality, a reference-quality Dolby Atmos presentation and an enjoyable set of supplements" and gives it 3.5 stars. I will add that there is much to see in this film and Blu-ray shows it well.
