Hitchcock: I was really excited to see this movie, I love Hitchcock's work. I didn't really know quite what to expect going into this movie though.The movie followed Hitchcock and his wife Alma as he made Psycho. It was interesting to look a little closer at Hitch's life and process. It was also got to see Alma Hitchcock get some recognition, she was integral to Hitchcock's work and process but usually remained behind the scenes. It was also very interesting to see what went to making Psycho which was very ground breaking for it's time.

Skyfall: This is the latest Bond. It was pretty awesome. I'm not a huge Bond fan, I believe I've seen five Bond movies now, Only the first two (Dr. No and From Russia With Love) with Sean Connery, and the most recent three with Daniel Craig (who I think is the best Bond). Anyway I've enjoyed the latest movies revisiting the beginning of Bond. I've also enjoyed the way they've been filmed. This Bond title doesn't come from any of the books and gives a bit more insight into Bond and his past. I was disappointed that (spoiler) Judi Dench will no longer play M, I've enjoyed having a woman play Bond's boss. This is not turning out to be a great review but it really was a spectacular movie.
