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!

Sleuth - 1972

Milo is invited to the home of author Andrew. When he gets there, Andrew accuses him of wanting to marry his wife. Milo admits it and then is talked into a plan to make himself rich. Marguerite is a woman with rich tastes, and Milo isn't a rich man.

What follows is Andrew pulling the strings of a carefully planned "robbery." There are twists and turns galore that I never saw coming. I loved that about the movie. That doesn't happen often for me, so when it does happen, I'm even more impressed. There wasn't necessarily anyone particular to root for, they both had a dark side, but the elements of the game were well executed.

This is one of those films that you can only have one first time. The twists were awesome, but if I chose to watch it again, I'll already know them. I think the performances by both actors were amazing, and I'm so glad I watched it! Great Movie!
