    (4/12) That same month, German cultural critic Siegfried Kracauer argued in ‘Commentary’ magazine that three recent American films (Shadow of a Doubt, #TheLostWeekend and The Stranger) displayed a moral decay and dark depravity reminiscent of – you got it – French film noir. #TheNoirCollective

    #doubt 🐊 #vss365 What it's all about is a doozy. Casting doubt in the role of a movie star, rather than the mass of the Sun, in terms of dollars + sense, makes none. We're another step away from done where the doozy won't be the disaster. It'll be sooner and faster— than a see you later alligator.

    I thought I was just watching a #Hitchcock movie... #NoirvemberChallenge Day 2 "Shadow of A Doubt" (1943), #FilmNoir that made me a noir fan. It was the two Charlies (good and evil). The existential dread. The comedic subplot with father and Herb’s crime obsession… Got me hooked. #Noirvember

    SHADOW OF A DOUBT is my favorite Hitchcock film. But DIAL M FOR MURDER is my fave in terms of style/color. I've lost count how many times I repeat REAR WINDOW and I didn't realize til a few years ago how often I reach for NOTORIOUS year-round. In short, you can never go wrong with a Hitchcock film.

    @commonst Haha. I see that it has shot up in popularity. I'm a bit worried that it might be another very violent revenge drama, but I'll give it a try if I hear enough good things. Meanwhile, I finally started watching #Doubt, after having it on my watchlist for a very long time. So far, it's got a very solid start. Lots of ways of building suspense and anxiety. It's back on Viki, which always has the best subtitles. #kdrama

    You wrote that you "Doubt Hamas would allow such a film." On this, I suspect that you may be right. However, the fact that Israeli soldiers have those tales to tell is not absolved by the making of a film by producers whose expulsion has been publicly demanded by Zionist bigots in the government.

    The creators of NAZA have long been Pro-Palestinian activists. The film is a video essay. Video essays on political matters can be selectively biased. Still, Israel allowed the film. Doubt Hamas would allow such a film.

    I should. And now that it's on the table I'm unsure if I would classify myself a fan. Definitely appreciate his place in film history. Only broadened my experience with his films beyond Birds, Psycho, and Vertigo in the past 5-7 years. Dug Notorious and Shadow of a Doubt the most out of those.

    Portrait of Jason is such a great film for that sense of manipulation and exploitation you mentioned, but also because "Jason" is such a charismatic and compelling performer. Doubt the film would've worked as well with a less interesting subject.

    This is Tom Cruise's "Citizen Kane" - which was also a flop at the cinemas. Doubt Cruise cares about the profit on this one - although the Distributors & Hollywood will be miffed. This is his legacy film. And if people in 20 years still think its a flop everyone will simply forget about it.

    MINOTAUR isn’t quite at the level of Zvyagintsev’s masterpieces, but it’s very good. Forgot I’d already seen this story via Adrian Lyne - probably his best film. Pure-cinema central sequence shifts the film to another gear. “Cloudy” final shot is pretty but puzzling. Meaningful? Doubt it.

    There is wonderful scene in this film where "Fr. Flynn" (Philip Seymour Hoffman) tries to explain, using feathers, just how wicked gossip can be. He is the victim of such nefarious chatter - but is he guilty? Well "Sister Aloysius" (Meryl Streep) believes so. She sees the father with a student on the street outside the school, then her colleague "Sister James" (Amy Adams) mentions that another, their first young black child "Donald" (Joseph Foster), looked a bit distressed after meeting with…

    Knee-deep in the throes of my first love, I was quite surprised to hear that my lady's favourite movie was 'Joe Versus the Volcano'. (I still haven't seen the film). It dawned on me, when I wanted to check out an American film which, to my knowledge, had a plethora of fine acting, that this was written and directed by the same guy who made that film much earlier. Being raised Christian and hearing in the press over the past few years about misdeeds, especially involving leaders of the Catholic…
