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!

Notorious - 1946

I've watched this movie multiple times. Every time, I remember the characters do things that are frustrating, and that I shouldn't like it. But I end up staring at the screen every time.

This film stars Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. Grant stars as a government man who is sent to recruit Bergman to work for them in trying to figure out what a group of Germans are plotting in Rio. They fell in love before they knew what the job was, and now they just won't communicate how they really feel about each other until it's too late.

Honestly, I shouldn't like this movie. All these people have to do is communicate, and so many problems would be avoided. Also, they are terrible at the whole spy thing. I understand how Bergman's character could make mistakes, but Grant's character should've been more careful. Maybe it's because it's a Hitchcock movie, and the actors are great, but something about this movie keeps me coming back. Good Movie!
