Web and app developer. Coffee, beer, and running, in any order.
Watched Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window. It’s No.48 on the AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies—10th Anniversary list.
It’s a bit of a slow burn compared to other Hitchcock movies, and I was honestly surprised by the ending.
Watched Billy Wilder’s Double Indemnity. It’s No.29 on the AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies—10th Anniversary list.
It was enjoyable noir. I found the story engaging without being difficult to follow nor overly bleak. Not that it was hopeful, just not the gut punch of something like Chinatown.
I’d recommend it to anyone who likes old movies, and I would watch it again.
Watched John Ford’s The Grapes of Wrath. It’s No.23 on the AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies—10th Anniversary list.
I hadn’t read the book and knew none of the plot going into it. I found the movie compelling.
I had lots of mental connections with what Sarah Taber has shared about sharecropping.
