(The) Duplex: I don't remember if it was The Duplex or Duplex. I watched this last night with my friends, I was skeptical going it because it's a Ben Stiller movie, I haven't seen a lot of his movies and I haven't really enjoined those that I have seen. I didn't want to watch this movie but I did, that probably didn't help my opinion of the movie, but the movie didn't change my opinion either. This movie was for me, painful to watch and it was stupid, filled with kaniving cruelty, violence, destruction and stupid plans and characters that didn't learn. I didn't like it, I don't recommend it.

Rebecca: I got another Hitchcock collection from the library and the first one I watched in the batch was Rebecca. My dad told me it was creepy, and granted I watched it at home with the lights on, but I didn't find it all that creepy. The story reminded me somewhat of the plot of Jane Eyre, which I just reread. I thought it was a very well made movie and I enjoyed it. I don't know however that it's one I'll go back to time and time again.

The Paradine Case: My most recent Hitchcock viewing. It was naturally a well made movie but though I love Gregory Peck, I don't want to watch this movie again, the story was not the sort I care to watch or view.

Sabotage: This movie was one of Hitchcock's early movies, made while he was still in England. It's good but I felt it was rather short, I would have liked to seen more.

When Harry Met Sally: I will just let you know that I didn't see this movie as the director made it, I saw it edited on tv and then further edited it by changing the channel when it started being rated higher than I cared to see. With these edits, I loved this movie, Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan were both great, great chemistry, very funny and witty dialogue. I liked it a lot, it made me want to have such a friend... perhaps without the awkwardness.
