I pause in our movie watching (actually I have not paused the movie, I add in the interest of strict accuracy) to make my Wrist to Forehead Sunday post. I am indeed about to swoon, from the head and humidity today. I don’t care for extreme heat, especially wet, sticky heat, but never mind that. I shall instead talk about the movies we have been watching, because I think I have pictures of all of them in my Media Library.
One of our all time favorites!
We began with Rear Window, an excellent movie to watch in the hot weather, because it takes place during a heat wave, in the days before air conditioning. At least, before lots of people had air conditioning; I’m too hot and tired to look up when it was actually invented.
I think today was even too warm to enjoy riding around in a convertible, but these two seem to be having a fine time.
We continued the Alfred Hitchcock theme with It Takes a Thief, which also stars Grace Kelly, so it was kind of a Grace Kelly theme as well. However, we did not continue with a theme, because we could not decide where to go next. Finally Steven suggested Lake Placid, as a fun, entertaining movie, and I agreed. We enjoyed it.
This is a shot of all the major characters. While still monster movie, I feel it is a character driven device.
Lake Placid is a silly movie with did not get a lot of critic love, but I think it has good characters and an involving plot. I will say I think it is a cheap laugh to have Betty White saying vulgar cuss words, but that is really a small part of the flick.
I perhaps should have looked for a picture with more of the actors, but I do like this shot.
The last one we have watched so far was Evil Under the Sun, a star-studded Agatha Christie romp. I do love my star-studded Agatha Christie movies. Perhaps we will watch another one next.
If this has been a dull blog post, I apologize. However, it is really, really warm in here and I need to get this laptop off my lap. Happy Sunday, everyone.
