What's this about?

Lately, it seems like many of the movies/shows are just a rehash or reboot of things that have already been done. And so I started to dive into the past. It's been fun, but I find myself losing track of which ones I’ve seen and whether or not I enjoyed them. Sometimes the titles themselves just don't tell me enough to remember.

I wouldn’t have voluntarily watched a lot of these movies when I was younger. It’s strange how interests change. That goes for what I read, too. I have another blog that explores books. I’m mostly reading older fiction and memoirs, and some of the books have led me to movies/shows and vice versa. In those cases, I may post the book review over here as well.

There will be spoilers, which is different than my book reviews. That’s mostly because I want to have enough information to help me remember what I’ve seen. I’m getting older. The brain doesn’t cooperate like it used to. What can I say? The gray hairs are catching up with me!

M - 1931

Peter Lorrie stars in this movie as a serial killer who takes children. It creates a tension in the city where everyone is trying to find the killer. Even the criminals. I’m not going to say too much about the plot. I don’t think I’m going to forget this one anytime soon. (I’ll probably be eating those words later…)

I found it interesting the way the underworld came together and organized to hunt down the killer. The “M” was a clever title, and when I understood why it was chosen, I was blown away. This was written by Fritz Lang, and it was great.

This is another one that relies on subtitles for me, since it’s in German. I’ve been trying to learn German, and I could pick up some words here and there, but I totally needed those subtitles.

The only criticism I have is with the very end of the movie. The last couple of minutes brought the overall experience down for me slightly. I wish there had been a bit more of a resolution, but I’ll just make up my own ending. Sometimes you just have to! Good Movie!
