Rear Window Review

Rear Window, 1954, Alfred Hitchcock

Rear Window was a suspenseful thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The movie covers L.B. Jeffries who is stuck in a cast, due to injury, who starts watching his neighbors and their lives. He starts to clue together what he thinks is a potential murder. The movie overall was a little slow for me and I'm not really a fan of older movies. This movie still intrigued me because of how much the director was able to fit into still shots of a man watching his neighbors through his back window. It was truly incredible and that is what kept me watching the movie. The overall story is an interesting one and it helps keep the viewer on the edge of their seat. Hitchcock does a great job at leaving little cliffhangers to make the movie more suspenseful. Overall I would give this film a 7/10 and would recommend this movie to people who like suspense and older movies.

Get Out Review

                                                                         Get Out , 2017, Jordan Peele  I'm gonna start this review off by saying that Get Out is a great movie and anyone who hasn't seen it needs to. Jordan Peele is a great director and I love all his films. The 2017 horror/mystery who goes to his girlfriends home for the weekend when things go south. It turns out Chris, the main character, finds out his girlfriend Rose and her family lure in black men and switch their brain out with an elderly white person who pays the most. Chris's mission to escape is great and Peele does an awesome job and showing this journey. Daniel Kaluuya, who plays Chris, is one of my favorite actors and the way Peele uses close up shots with him are such amazing shots tha...

Scene that stuck out to me

The Empire Strikes Back, 1980, Irvin Kershner      One of the most popular movies in the Star Wars series is The Empire Strikes Back because of the scene where Luke Skywalker finally faces Darth Vader. The action/thriller movie is so important to the series because it is when Luke discovers that Darth Vader, his enemy, is actually his father. The angles and background really build the suspense and add to the action happening in this film. I don't think I would have done anything different to this scene, the camera moving from far away to show the action to close up to show the emotion of the characters in this crucial scene is perfect. If you were to watch the movies in chronological order you discover this piece of information earlier but this movie was released way before the others came out which made it better and put people on the edge of their seat for longer. Between the suspense of the battle or Luke almost dying, to the emotion of Luke finding out Darth Vader is ...
