Kiss Me Deadly

I thought this movie was a lot more suspensful then Double Indemnity. The beginning of the movie was kind of confusing but you get to understand more along the way which is one the ways that it makes it more interesting. I thought the box in the end of the movie that like, lid up, was very very stupid. It make the movie look dumb and fake, it changed my inpression of the entire thing! I think this movie could have been taken more seriously and woudln't have seemed like such a joke without the stupid thing. I did like though, that the movie had more violence and dramtic scences.

Overall, NOT impressed.

Double Indemnity

Overall, I think this movie fits the film noir catagorie nicely. Some of the film noir characteristics like dramatic crime plot, low-key lighting and black film are all in this movie which makes it good for this catagorie. I like this type of genre most of the time, but not when it includes blood, which this movie didn't have so that was nice. I usually like finding out what happens at the end of the movie...acutally at the end of this movie. I like having that suspence, and not finding out in the beginning! This movie didn't interest me so much, maybe because i'm not so interested in black and white but it did a good job fitting the film noir genre!

Groundhog Day

I thought this movie, Groundhog Day, has been one of the best ones we watched in this class. I think since most people have heard of it or even seen it, made is more interesting for the people who haven't. I thought the idea of this movie was very cool, because it was different then any other. I liked how the in the beginning of the movie they made the main character, Phil Connors(Bill Murray), seem not so likable, so that in the end it would feel like the opposite. I think Bill really grew as a character throughout the film, which i believe was also the intended purpose. He got to find out who he really was and learn to be happy. He also got to realize the important things in life. I liked how Bill ended up falling in love with Rita in the end of the movie, it made it really cute! :)

Bringing Up Baby was by far my favorite movie we have watched in this class so far. Besides the fact that it was in black and white, it was so funny that didn't really matter so much. I thought Susan's character really made the movie. She was so dumb and clumbsy, it definitaly caught the audiences attention, whether it was people hating it even more or laughing at how funny it was. David and Susan clashed so much in character that it almost made them perfect for eachother. Susan was always trying to bring the fun out in David and David was always trying to be more calm with Susan. I think most peoples reaction to the movie at first was that it was so annoying, because Susan was so annoying, but without that, the movie would have been lame. I liked the ending when Susan went to David's work and he was almost finished with the new dinasour and when she feel and knocked it over, he didn't even care because he was so used to her stupidity and realized that he loved her. I think this movie was a good pick for this class because it was different and funny, unlike the rest of them, and I think even though people said that hated it, they acutally liked it just as much ;)
