DVD: Casablanca (DVD, 2000) 
Straight romance, slow, mushy
3 out of 28 people found this review helpful
I may be prejudiced by the fact that I absolutely hate romance. Romantic comedy and musicals I can stand (to an extent, as I don’t like An American in Paris). But I hate pure romance. I came into... read full review

DVD: Sunset Boulevard (DVD, 2002, Collector's Edition) 
It's time for my close up, Mr. DeMille
2 out of 4 people found this review helpful
Billy Wilder directed this movie, which stars William Holden and Gloria Swanson. I had really mixed feelings about this movie. I think I really could have liked it, I really could have. The openi... read full review

Strangers on a Train (DVD, 1997)
Let's switch murders, I'll do yours and you do mine.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful
Strangers On A Train was, for Hitchcock, a breakout film. At least some say it was, and evidently Hitchcock worked on it as if it would be one. The problem was, after such great films as Shadow of A Doubt, Sp... read full review

DVD: The 39 Steps (DVD, 1998) 
Classic Early Hitch!
1 out of 2 people found this review helpful
The 39 Steps is based on a spy novel of the same title by John Buchan. While I only read part of it, now I would like to read the rest…regardless, the book, written in 1915, practically established the whole g... read full review

DVD: Suspicion (DVD, 2004) 
Well Done
1 out of 2 people found this review helpful
In Hitchcock’s Suspicion, Johnnie Aysgarth (Cary Grant) falls in love with Linda McLaidlow (Joan Fontaine) and, shortly into the film, the two marry. Though the opening scenes seemed to be jumping around quite... read full review

Arsenic and Old Lace (DVD, 2000)
Insanity practically gallops in my family.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful
This movie, directed by Frank Capra and starring Cary Grant and Priscilla Lane, is a riot. It is littered with hilarious black comedy and ironic words. The acting and casting are both superb. The d... read full review

Spellbound (DVD, 2002, Criterion Collection)
Not as great as they say it is.
I found the most interesting part of this movie was the dream sequence, which was partly written by Salador Dali. Other than that it was bogged down by too much psychoanalysis. Peck isn't quite at his be... read full review

Psycho (DVD, 1998, Widescreen Collector's Edition)
Mother's not feeling herself today.
Psycho may well be Hitch’s best movie. It is the culmination of all his great movies up to this point. In Shadow of a Doubt (1943), another of Hitch’s masterpieces, we are first introduced to a character who ... read full review

DVD: The Manchurian Candidate (DVD, Special Edition) 
In the vein of Psycho
This movie reminds me a lot of Psycho after Psycho. It’s really a strange, confusing movie. It had me guessing constantly. The cinematography in this movie is well thought out and not very traditio... read full review
