Really takes a while to get into it, but once the story is fully underway Hitchcock sweeps me up in this glorious love-triangle thriller. Devoid of his trademark ‘suspense’, this film nonetheless had me captivated through its major set pieces. Grant and Bergman are brilliant.

Raising Arizona 1987
So brilliant. First ten minute montage is cinematic perfection — just beautifully constructed and what a way to start an excellent film. Cage and Hunter’s dynamic is fantastic; secondary characters are memorable and hilarious. Mid point chase scene is just brilliant, and the ending (though slightly bizarre for my taste) functions suitably for the thematic line of the film.

11:14 2003
I just love this kind of thing. No matter how much intellectually stimulating cinema I may watch, something stupid like 11:14 will make me assert my love for the movies. There are so many “OMG” and “WTF” moments and I just live for it. I love how simplistic this is; I love how everything ties in together; and, I love how effectively and deftly it functions. These types of films are definitely a comfort to me. In love!
