Strangers On A Train

For today's Movie I chose Strangers on a Train. The movie was directed by Alfred Hitchcock and was released in in 1951. It stars Farley Granger, Ruth Roman and Robert Walker. The movie starts with two strangers who meet on a train- Guy Haines and Bruno Anthony. The men talk for hours and finally its gets to the topic of murder. Bruno suggests that him and Guy should swap targets to create the perfect murder. Guy thinks it's outrageous, but Bruno is being serious. Bruno does commit the perfect murder and Guy wants nothing to do with it. The rest of the movie is full of twists and suspense. I really do recommend you watch this Hitchcock classic because it is one of his best. The movie currently has a rating of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and was nominated for one Oscar. I hope you enjoy the movie.

Law Abiding Citizen

I chose Law Abiding Citizen for today's post. Law Abiding Citizen was directed by F. Gary Gray and was released last year. The movie stars Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx. The movie starts with Gerard Butler's character witnessing the rape and murder of his wife and daughter. Two men were responsible for the murder, but one ultimately gets away with only 7 years to life. Butler's character then sets out his own vendetta against the court system because he feels that there wasn't justice with his wife and daughter's case. He takes matters into his own hands and ends up going to jail. After some well plotted murders by Butler's character, it's Jamie Foxx's role to figure how he's killing people while in jail. The movie is absolutely superb and it definitely will have your attention to the very end. Rotten Tomatoes has the movie rated at a 26% which is an absolute travesty. I guarantee if you're looking for a thriller this movie will definitely leave you satisfied.

Charade (1963)

I chose Charade for todays Movie of the Day. Charade was directed by Stanley Donen and stars Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn and Walter Matthau. This movie is set in Paris and is a romantic comedy, as well as a thriller. Audrey Hepburns character Regina is the wife of a very wealthy man who dies right away. Then right after his death a group of different man start chasing her around believing she has her husband's $250,000 that is missing. Cary Grant's character throughout the movie is always trying to help Regina stay away from the men chasing her but she is unsure of his real identity. She soon learn the real identities of all the men and becomes very confused. This romantic comedy/thriller will having on the edge of your seat to the very end wondering what is going to happen. The movie currently has a rating of 91% on Rotten Tomatoes and was nominated for one award which it sadly did not win. I hope you enjoy movie.

First Ever Movie A Day Post- Rear Window

I decided to choose one of my all time favorite movies for my first movie a day post. I chose Rear Window, the Hitchcock film not the cheesy remakes made after it. The film was released in 1954. It's a romantic thriller and it stars Jimmy Stewart as well as Grace Kelly. Its about a Photographer (Jimmy Stewart) who is stuck in his wheelchair all day and has nothing better to do but watch his neighbors out his window. He sees something suspicious from one of his neighbors and suspects murder. The rest of the movie is about how him and his girlfriend (Grace Kelly) try to find out what really happened in his neighbors apartment. I wont tell you Hitchcock's thrilling ending so your just going to have to watch it for yourself and form your own opinion. The Movie has 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and I agree with it. There have been plenty of remakes of Rear Window such as the recent Disturbia, but I would only recommend watching the original. If your looking for a Romantic Thriller, Rear Window is the movie you're looking for.
