I'm pretty sure I already saw this one but it was really a long time ago so it was really time for a re-watch. And, once again, it was just another great flick by Alfred Hitchcock. What I love about his thrillers is that they are smart and totally make sense. I mean, when the protagonists go further with their actions, take some crucial decisions, you understand why and it makes the whole thing mu... read more

Dial M for Murder is a fantastically claustrophobic Hitchcock film. It is aided by taunt suspense and, quite easily, the best performance that Hitchcock managed to bring out of Grace Kelly in the three films that they made together. I actually believe that this might just be her best performance, period. (High Society is a very close runner-up, if not the top.) This has widely been considered a se... read more

"Adapted from a play and feels like a play, yet there is much to enjoy in this Hitchcock classic. "

"16.2. When it comes to murder or crime in fiction, word 'perfect' seems to be synonymous with 'overly complicated'. In modern thrillers this way too often means constantly switching locations, elaborate settings, gigantic twists and artificial time limits that are supposed keep characters running around in panic and viewers in constant state of mediocore entertainment so that neither of them wouldn't notice the plot holes that said twists and running amok create. But how about an Alfred Hitchc"

"February 13: Wildcard Wednesday: Any movie, Any genre! 1st viewing: Watched on DirecTV (Movie saved on DVR) My fifth Hitchcock film for the month. This is a movie that I've been wanting to see for quite some time and I must say that I was glad to finally have the chance to see it. I really liked the story, the cast, etc. It is probably one of my favorite Hitchcock films. While watching this movie, I kept thinking of A Perfect Murder (1998), because they both have a similar story. After ch"

"It is Hitchcock so you have certain expectations to it and above all since it is a crime mystery, you kind of like to watch it with assurance that you'll be able to crack it, I mean come on, it was 1954, we are smarter now, but and a huge round of applause to Hitchcock, I was wrong. Lol I couldn't crack it! Anyways, it has great dialogues, pace and beautiful performances from the lead actors. It is typical Hitchcock , writing more would be useless here:)"

"Watched 12/23/12 I get that Hitchcock is a genius and all that, but I still thought this movie was extremely boring. And it's not because the entire movie takes place in one apartment/room."
