Today, a look at the original trailer for one of my fave Hitchcock films! Starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, and Martin Landau, this cross-country adventure of mistaken identity is brilliantly enjoyable!

Romantic Movies for Valentines Day
So it’s Valentine’s Day. You and your sweetie have had a romantic dinner, or a nice walk (pleasant and warm even with the chill in the air), arm in arm, hand in hand, you decide to go back to the apartment and have a cuddle while watching a romantic movie that isn’t overly sappy……
Hammertown Comic Con
Sue and I, with our friend and camera operator Kayleigh Book in tow, tackled the Hammertown Comic Con in Hamilton this past weekend, and we had a lot of fun! There were 3 Back To The Future guests, a couple of DeLoreans, some fantastic costumes, great art, and some cool folks to chat to! Sue…
North By Northwest (1959) – Alfred Hitchcock
North By Northwest is my favorite of all of Hitch’s films. I was quite delighted to come across it on the 101 Action Movies list. It’s fun, charming, and races along full tilt right to its climax. It has an iconic score by Bernard Herrmann, and a top-notch cast featuring Cary Grant (I love his…
Notorious (1946) – Alfred Hitchcock
Of all the Hitchcock films, and it is a pretty amazing body of work, my favorites are the ones starring Cary Grant. Suspicion, To Catch A Thief (featuring the gorgeous Grace Kelly), my favorite – North By Northwest and Notorious. I decided to revisit Notorious the other night. A taut spy thriller with a heart-wrenching…
Hitchcock (2012) – Sacha Gervasi
Good evening. I love movies. I love movies about making movies. I also quite love Hitchcock movies. So this one seems like a winner all around, and I was not disappointed. Featuring a script by John J. McLaughlin working from the book “Alfred Hitchcock and The Making of Psycho” by Stephen Rebello, Gervasi, marking his first…
Re-Animator (1985)
The 101 Horror Movies strikes again, with this cult classic, featuring genre favoourite Jeffrey Combs. Based loosely on the original tale by the always chilling work of H.P. Lovecraft, the film, directed by Stuart Gordon, is a wonderful over-the-top gorefest. We follow Herbert West (Combs) from an interesting experiment in Sweden back to the States…
The Birds (1963)
As I continue through the 101 Horror Movies, and get closer to present day, there tend to be more and more films that I have already seen, but am happy to revisit. The Birds falls into that category. The man was a master storyteller, and while some of the contemporary horror films can barely hit…
Serial Killer Double Feature – Peeping Tom (1960) & Psycho (1960)
Last night I watched two serial killer films that both seem to have voyeuristic fetishes. Both come from 1960, but are two completely differing films, dealing with murderers. I’ll be honest, until I read the title in that wonderful little book, 101 Horror Movies, I had never even heard of Peeping Tom. I’ll be honest…
