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!

Jigsaw - 1962

I thought I'd seen this one, but when I looked back through my reviews, it appeared I was wrong! It's one of those older murder mysteries I like watching, so I settled in and pressed play.

A woman is found murdered in a rented house, but the clues aren't leading anywhere. The body can't even be identified. It takes a lot of digging and finding puzzle pieces to unravel the truth and identify the killer.

This movie was entertaining! I liked the main character, Fred. I was sorry he missed his football (soccer) match, but the plot was interesting. All the little twists and turns were really cool. The movie was almost two hours, which is on the longer side for this era, but I didn't really feel it.

This is based on a book called Sleep Long, My Love by Hillary Waugh. I tried to find the book, but the author's books aren't widely available, and I only saw one available digitally. I'll keep an eye on it, because I'm curious. This one easily earns a Good Movie! review.
