So I just saw Spellbound.

And it was pretty great.

It definitely held my attention better than Rebecca, but I suppose that is because I was more invested in the plot this time. It's really a fascinating movie in a lot of different ways.

This Friday I have to turn in a paper for my Alfred Hitchcock class: the one that spurred on this Hitchcock marathon. It involved looking at a Hitchcock movie we hadn't seen specifically for class and I wasn't going to write this until the paper was done.

So I just watched Sabotage.

And it was pretty good.

This review of sorts is a day early because due to the cold weather, classes were cancelled for today and tomorrow, and I thought that since I had the time, I ought to see this movie today. The professor wanted us to see it anyway and luckily I have it on DVD.

And it was pretty great.

So I just saw Rear Window.

And it was pretty great.

First off, some context. I'm taking a class this semester about Alfred Hitchcock and this was the first film of his that we saw, so I thought I ought to write about it, and the others when I saw them; so this will become a semi-weekly thing. It also means I'll be branching out from new releases.

I have not been motivated to do things lately. But I saw these two movies recently, and I feel like I should talk about them anyway.

I saw Notorious first, two weeks ago, so I shall talk about that.

I thought it was pretty good.

Watched this with my dad as part of Fathom Events.

Think this is the first Alfred Hitchcock movie I've seen in full. (I remember the first twenty minutes or so of "North by Northwest," which I saw on TV once.)

So a bit over a week ago, I saw Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018).

And it was...decent?

Hello all.

Just wanted to check in and drop a recommendation for a pair of books I know about, that I felt would be seasonally appropriate.

Respectively, they are "Horror Cavalcade: From The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari to Curse of the Werewolf," and "Horror Cavalcade: From The Pit and the Pendulum to The Sixth Sense."
