Anastasia: This is not the more recent cartoon (though I love that). I've been interested in Anastasia since I read a book about her, with pictures from her life, anyway this movie was a version with Ingrid Bergman and Yul Brynner, the plot of the movie is similar to that of the cartoon, however the Rasputin aspect isn't there. It was a nice movie, I liked it.

The Paycheck: This is a pretty good action movie, not the best but pretty good. I hadn't noticed it when watching but in some of the extended stuff on the DVD they were talking about how they had been inspired by Hitchcock, especially North by Northwest and I saw what they meant, I just wouldn't have been able to put my finger on it otherwise. The plot of this movie is akin to that of Minority Report if you've seen that, I think I enjoyed this movie far more though. I liked the concept of the movie, it was unusual.


Spellbound: Alfred Hitchcock made simply amazing movies, he was a master of his art and I don't know that anyone, even today, does thriller movies like he did. In this movie Ingrid Bergman is a psychiatrist or
psychoanalyst, I don't recall witch, she meets and falls in love with Gregory Peck's character only to find that he is not who he seemed to be and that he's accused of murder. Peck's character has amnesia and a guilt complex and Ingrid Bergman is determined to cure him and prove his innocence. It's a fascinating movie.
Murder on the Orient Express: I've never read the book by Agatha Christie but this movie is a wonderful whodunit, drama, comedy, emotion and intriguing. It's wonderful, simply wonderful and part of that is that there are so many wonderful actors in the movie; Ingrid Bergman, Lauren Bacall, and so many more.I highly recommend it.


Breakfast at Tiffany's: I hate the song but I love this movie. I'm a big fan of Audrey Hepburn and this movie is one of my favorites. Audrey Hepburn and George Pepard are wonderful in this movie.
