Lizzy Tex Borden's

The February 2026 Month of Musicals at Borden Cinema

starts off strong! I can usually watch four movies a week

and this first week was a winner!

The first movie of the month was Guys and Dolls. Great

songs and c'mon, Frank Sinatra! I rated this movie 9 out

of 10 Guys Reaching for Stars in the Sky.

Next up? Singin' in the Rain. Holy cow the dance moves

are incredible. Donald O'Conner: Not AI folks. I rated this

show 10 out of 10 Good Mornin's.

And now, West Side Story. I laughed, I cried and then I

cried some more. The way they communicate interactions

of all kinds through dance, just AMAZING. It is hard to

take your eyes off of Russ Tamblyn while he is doing his

thing. I rated this movie 10 out of 10 Switchblades, easily.

And finishing up this round of films is Bye Bye Birdie.

Fun movie. Conrad Birdie is just too cool for school.

I was a little surprised and disappointed to hear of the

behind the scenes turmoil between some cast members.

But hey, this is a fun watch. A great scene was filmed

at Courthouse Square, Universal Studios. And the main family

in the story, the McAfees live in the Lethal Weapon House!

Yikes! I rated this movie 7.5 out of 10 Gold Lamé Jumpsuits.

Three more weeks of The Month of Musicals left to go!

P.S. This coming Friday falls on the 13th…
so just for one night, the Month of Musicals
steps aside for Jason Voorhees.
