Rope from 1948 is a little known Alfred Hitchcock film that deals with one of Hitchcock's favorite subjects....MURDER!!! Specifically, murder that is intellectually argued as a "good" for society.

What follows is a tension-filled dinner party of paranoia that leaves the audience to wonder just how long before David's body is discovered by the party-goers.  ...

This week, we here in the states are celebrating Thanksgiving! The time honored tradition of gluttenous eating among family and friends, football (if you're into that sort of thing), and avoiding the inevitable clash of politics that comes when you invite your boomer Uncle Larry to dinner.   But aside from food, there are a few movies we've come to associate with the holiday. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (see our back catalog) is one of the go to films to come from the mind of John...

This week we are time traveling back to the 1930’s to examine  the legacy of the Universal Monster Movies.  Why is it that these classic films about gothic castles, mad scientists, vampires, mummies, and more have for nearly 100 years captivated our collective imaginations?  Could it be that these films were made so well?  Or maybe that the filmmakers themselves brought elements of their own personalities to these characters.  We'll find out today as we examine the classic monsters from...
