Mr. Deeds Goes to Town

6 years, 8 months ago
Marnie
Notes: Eventually, I think it is a rather minor work in Hitchcock's otherwise prestigious career but even so, it was quite entertaining and I really enjoyed it. The main issue, in my opinion, is that, at that point, Alfred Hitchcock had done already quite a lot of those thrillers and, sometimes, I had the feeling he was just going through the motions. As a result, it is highly reminiscent of some of his better movies, above all 'Vertigo', and I believe he never really cared about all the psycho babble displayed here. Still, the plot was entertaining and I thought that there was a great chemistry between Sean Connery and Tippi Hedren. Connery was also a nice choice and an interesting substitute to the usual suspects Cary Grant and James Stewart. There was also something quite messed up in their relationship which was quite spellbinding to behold, it's too bad it was not more developed because it wad definitely the most interesting aspect in this movie. Anyway, it is and remains a decent thriller.

An average movie

“I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it was certainly a weak reboot of this franchise and, even though it apparently had a strong opening weekend at the box-office, I'm not surprised that they scrapped their plan” read more

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl
What is is about? It is a book of the writings from the Dutch language diary kept by Anne Frank while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Personal note: Of course, I had heard about this book but I didn't expect to be so impressive. Indeed, even though you might think it is rather suited for children, even though the language used might be childlike, the content is actually much more suitable for grown-ups. Anyway, the whole thing was just fascinating and obviously really heartbreaking to read. Quote: "What is done cannot be undone, but one can prevent it happening again."

A good movie

“To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the haunted house genre but since this movie had a decent reputation, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I have to admit that I actually really enjoyed it and I thought it was actually better than 'Insidious' also from the same director. To be fair, it ” read more

An average movie

“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since I have a weak spot for Will Smith, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, even though it turned out to be a decent watch, I can't say I was really blown away by the damned thing. Basically, the main problem with this ” read more

A good movie

“I already saw this movie but since it was such a long time ago and since I had it on DVD, I was really eager to check it out again. In fact, I first saw it when it was released but, to be honest, at the time, I didn't care much for it and I never really understood why it was such a critical hit back” read more
