What happens is that Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) is the anchorman of San Diego, and he is a huge deal. When he is on everybody tunes in too hear him deliver the news. His news team always finishes first in the ratings, and he is on top of the world basically. But they bring in a woman named Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), and she has a goal to become the anchorwoman. Ron and his crew all try to go out with her but Ron is the only one who succeeds. At first they are in love, but an incident where Ron's dog gets punted off a bridge causes him to be miss the news she has to deliver it, and they end up having to give the news together. They end up breaking up. They also start to fight each other a lot, and Ron and his crew will do anything to get rid of her.
Anchorman is a very funny satire. A classic Will Ferrell film, that is very quotable. The film is one of those cult classics where it is so stupid at times that you have to laugh. At times the stuff isn't that funny, but it is mostly very funny. The film is a spoof/satire on being an anchorman and news broadcasting. Satires and spoofs always exaggerate certain things to make whatever they are trying to make look dumb, look even dumber. The films stupidity is all part of the fact that it is exaggerated, and it is a spoof. Spoofs are usually stupid, but that's what makes them funny, and that is what made this film funny.
It is a stereotype with newscasters that they are really concerned with how they look, and that they have these great voices. Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) is the stereotypical newscaster in this film. He thinks he is really good looking, but he actually looks kind of funny. That is the joke that makes fun of the newscaster's looks. He also has the stereotypical deep voice that they have too. Also a lot of people think that the newscasters aren't really thinking about what they are reading when they are delivering the news, and at certain moments Ron Burgundy says something that shows that he wasn't thinking about what he just read.
His crew isn't very funny in my opinion. The only guy in his crew that I found funny was Brick Tamland (Steve Carell). He is the stupidest person in the movie. Literally he says at one point that he has an I.Q. of 48 "and is what some people would call mentally retarded." He delivers some very good lines. Ron was the funniest guy for sure, and most of the funny stuff came from him, while the rest just happened around him randomly. The film was very funny, and I enjoyed it both times I watched it. I have also gone back and watched the clips of it on YouTube many times now. Not my favorite from Will Ferrell, but one of them.

This is the first time I watched a Quentin Tarantino film that I didn't like. I found this film to be way too weird. I know that Quentin Tarantino is an acquired taste, and I have acquired the taste, because I love everything else he has done, but this one I just couldn't get into. I found that the though of something like what happened in this movie was upsetting to think about. I think Quentin Tarantino is one of the all time greatest film directors and screenwriters, but I do think he is probably disturbed. I always wonder what must be going on in his head, but this film I think shows how disturbed he truly is.
The film had his typical style, where the dialog was really long and interesting, but it had no humor in it, which most of his films usually have, and that is why I love them so much. This film just had the disturbing factor, and the dialog wasn't even really that interesting to listen too, and it just went on and on. I felt like he must have been going through writers block or something when he wrote the dialog. He got it back when he did Inglourious Basterds two years later. I don't even know why he made this film to be perfectly honest, because it doesn't bring anything unique or interesting to the cinematic world, which all of his other films do.
The story is about a man named Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) who is a total psychopath, and a weirdo. He goes around driving a stunt car that is "Death Proof" hence the title. He stalks girls with it and then he kills them by driving at full speed, and doing intense things while driving to hurt the girls or girl he wants to kill or mess with.
The film had no point, or no redeeming quality to it. It had the Tarantino style that is one of the most influencial ones in movie making history, but the style was not used to perfection like it was in films like Pulp Fiction, Inglourious basterds, or Django Unchained. I am ahuge tarantino guy, but this is on the very bottom of my list of my favorite films of his. I would not recommend this, and not even to true Tarantino fans, because even if you like it is still definitely his weakest film compared to the others. The film was just upsetting, and I didn't like it.

I had mixed feelings about iron man 3 going into it. The trailers made it look epic, but sometimes they overdue these epic superhero films, and they turn out bad like Spiderman 3. But sometimes they do them right and they turn out awesome. Dark Knight Rises was the only time I could think of where the third movie in a super hero movie trilogy was great. Even that one got some criticism. I predicted that they would make this the final Iron Man film, but they would keep him alive for Avengers 2. I will not say weather I was right or wrong so I don't spoil it.
The film turned out to be very good, and it was very well done. I thought that it was better then the 2nd one, but I am not sure if I liked it quite as much as the first one, but I probably did. But weather or not you liked it as much as the original you will definitely like it better then the 2nd one, and you will definitely enjoy this.
The only flaw with the film was that it was very predictable. Well pretty much all of these films are predictable, but it was obvious at several points. The ending was the most predictable part of the film, but it was still a good ending, which I will not spoil. The humor was good but at times very predictable, and I didn't get why everybody else in the audience was laughing at times. Most of the time it was good, but at times it was too obvious for me to laugh at. I also wish that they cut down on the jokes a little, because at times it didn't feel like a serious movie. Most of the time they were good, but I felt like there were slightly too many jokes. Those were really the only two flaws with the film. The rest is perfect.
This film picks up right after the Avengers. All the marvel films before the Avengers were set up so they would build up to the Avengers, and they all connect to each other in some way. The Avengers was great because it was planned years in advance, and it was a massive project. The years of work and preparation paid off, as it is the third highest grossing film of all time. I can tell that this film will be the first of the marvel movies since the Avengers to build up to the sequel. Thor: The Dark World looks like it will directly connect to the Avengers 2, because it has the villain Loki from Avengers in it. I have no idea how the will connect Captain America: The Winter Soldier to the Avengers 2, but I look forward to seeing how they do that next year.
The film starts off with a flashback where Tony Stark met a man named Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) at a new years party, and he told the guy he would meet him on the roof of the hotel to discuss the project that he had in mind with him, but he never met him there. That was 1999 when he was still a playboy. Then it goes back to the present, and it is Christmas, and Killian has invented a way to recode DNA completely. He approaches Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow) about it.
Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is not having fun this Christmas time. He hasn't slept in days, and he is having a lot of anxiety problems. I felt like they were trying to make it look like his health was going downhill, and that he would probably die at the end. He has however come up with some cool things like he came up with something that allows him to call his suit. What happens is that he will do a certain motion and all the parts of his suit would just fly on to him, and he would be Iron man. I thought that was pretty good.
There is a major terrorist called the mandarin (Ben Kingsley) who has been bombing places, and causing major destruction. He tells Tony Stark that he is coming for him, and he does. He destroys his house, and nearly kills him. Tony ends up in Tennessee after that and he must repair a suit, but with the help of a young boy he is able to do so.
I feel like the way Dark Knight Rises was done and Iron Man 3 was done was the ideal way to do a third superhero movie. Make it so the hero will be going through a lot of problems, and like they may die. They also both have the huge terrorist villain who is threatening to destroy everything. That makes it so that there is a lot at stake, and a lot to do, which give's the film a more intense feel. I liked Dark Knight Rises more then iron Man 3 because I liked it how it was just a dark and serious movie, while Iron man 3 is more of a funnier super hero movie, that is less serious. However this is still very good.
Also you need a perfect actor to play the super hero. Robert Downey Jr. is so perfect for the role of Tony Stark. His natural personality is perfect for it. He plays the egocentric hero so perfectly, and he is also funny in that role. There is no better actor to play that role then Robert Downey Jr., and everybody I know thinks that too.
Iron Man is different from other super hero films. Like Batman he doesn't have any natural powers. But as a person that is where he is very different. He is much more egocentric, and narcissistic then the average superhero. Usually they are quiet people when they aren't doing what they do. That is what makes Iron Man unique. He is also like the Fantastic Four, and everybody knows who his identity is. Iron Man is one of the only super hero series that I like.
I thought that this was a very good, and fun movie. It was done right, and it ended well. Only a few flaws, but I didn't notice any plot holes which films like this usually have. Very well done. Shane Black the director of Predator, and Lethal Weapon did some really good things with this, and he was a great choice for the director of this picture. Definitely see this if you are a iron man fan, because it is very entertaining, and very fun to watch.

Now Matthew McConaughey as a serious actor I usually think is really good. When he does those rom coms like Fools Gold, or How To Lose a Guy in Ten Days I think he is terrible. He is really good in this and he changed fro this film. He changed physically, and he had to make himself look like a guy who has been on an island for a long time. He looked rough, dirty, and unwashed. They did a good makeup job with it too, because you could barely tell it was him. He also had the accent down perfectly, and at times I couldn't understand what he was saying because of it. I am glad he has broken out of his rom com phase and is doing stuff like this now. He broke out of that phase with Lincoln lawyer, and I think that is when he showed his skills as an actor. He tends to play a lot of lawyers, like in Lincoln lawyer, A Time to Kill, and in Bernie. So this was a completely different role for him.
The character he plays "Mud" is a fugitive hiding from the authorities on an island. He befriends two boys, and they help him try to reunite with his love Juniper (Reese Witherspoon). The two boys do a lot to help him out, and he tells them his story. A lot of people warn the boys about Mud, but they think he is a nice guy. He is a nice guy, but he just made a big mistake. The film makes you question him throughout, and you really can't figure out if he is good or bad until the end. It is also a movie that is suspenseful, because you have no idea how it will end.
Now I really wish that films like this get made more often. I am tired of mindless action movies, and they are like pop music too me. I like stuff like this that is interesting, different, well acted, and that let you think about what will happen. Mud was a really good movie that I would say is probably an acquired taste for a certain audience, but is one of the best films I've seen so far this year. This movie reminded of a film that came out about a month before called "The Place Beyond the Pines." They were both really good in the same, way but different at the same time. The Place Beyond the Pines is a little bit better, but not by much. What makes them great in the same way is that they are both really well acted, and they are both indie dramas that make you think a little, and they are in obscure locations.
I like films like this, because they are more reliant on acting, an interesting plot, and style. Indie dramas are good, because the directors and screenwriters have way more freedom to do what they want, and they can show their talent more. This film is a good example. Jeff Nichols wrote and directed this film, and I felt like I could see his true vision for the film, and I didn't see any Hollywood influence in it. That is why Mud was as good as it was.

42 was a really good movie, about a great ball player. Jacki Robinson was the first black man to play major league baseball. This film tells his story, and the trouble he went through because he was black. This was during the time where there were separate bathrooms for black and white people, so the idea of having a black ball player was hated by everybody in the league. The story of this film is truly inspirational, and it felt real. I thought that they did a great job telling it as it was. It was extremely well acted too. I expected the guy who played jacki Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) was the guy who would give an Oscar worthy performance, but it was actually Harrison Ford who in my opinion should get an Oscar nomination for this. He played the role of Branch Rickey so well, and I probably wouldn't have thought that it was he. So overall the story was well told, and the movie was really well acted.
The story mostly revolves around the 1947 season of the Brooklyn Dodgers. At the time there were only 400 MLB players, and they were all white. They took one player out of the league, and put Jackie Robinson in to replace him. He became the first ball player in the league to be black. Pitchers were throwing at his head a lot, and he would duck. He had a hot temper and they had to teach him not to fight back, and to just ignore it all. A lot of his teammates wanted to go on strike so he wouldn't play, but they refused to let him go. He was to good to be let go, and he became one of the great ball players of all time.
It is not a typical sports drama, because it tackles a real life issue in history. The treatment of blacks was very terrible at the time, and the discrimination levels were the worst. This film tells it like it really was. I like these true story sports films, and not the ones like Rocky. Films like 42 are the really good sports films.
The racial stuff in the movie made me feel awful, considering that stuff like this at one point was happening in the country I live in. Like there is one scene where Jackie is at the airport with his wife and they give their tickets away to a white couple. There was one part where a hotel wouldn't let the team stay there because of Jackie. Though this stuff is upsetting, you have to do it. What made the film so good was that they successfully showed what it was like for him, and that they were able to make you mad at times. A great film around a topic like this needs to tell it like it is, and it needs to anger you at times. This film did exactly that. This was a great film, and I loved every minute of it. It was a great true story, and the acting was great. Not your typical sports drama at all.

"This is the end for you my master." - Anakin Skywalker
This is the one where Anakin finally turned to the dark side. He turned because he was afraid that his wife Padme (Natalie Portman) would die in childbirth. Yoda told him that "fear is the path to the dark side," and he was right all along. They were looking for the evil Sith Lord. It turned out to be Chancellor Palpetine (Ian McDiarmid) who he had developed a close relationship with. However the Chancellor had been secretly trying to manipulate him the entire time, and then he gets him to join the dark side. It was all part of the Chancellors evil plan to kill all of the remaining Jedi, and get their chosen one on his side. When he changes sides he gets the name "Darth Vader." Count Duku was originally his apprentice, but he had Anakin kill him because he was getting old, and he wanted somebody new and young. That is why he acquired Anakin.
I don't hate the prequels to Star Wars as much as everybody else around me seems to, but I don't like them either. The reason why the prequels are not nearly as good as the originals is because the originals were original, and they had the ability to do anything they wanted. The prequels were made to build up to the original trilogy, and they had less freedom in their creativity, because they had to connect the three prequels to the original three films. The prequels are good because they showed how it all began for everybody in the originals. That is really the only reason why I would like them, but if you were to ask me would I rather watch "Revenge of the Sith" or "Empire Strikes back" I would go with "Empire Strikes Back" every time. The prequels were mostly bad, and I think that they could have come up with better ideas to explain how it all started. I think that they are bad but not as bad as everybody else thinks, because I feel like it was more of a thing where the original trilogy was so much better that the prequels couldn't keep up with the epicness. I hope I am not alone there, and some people feel that way too, but
This is the only decent one. It had its good and bad things about it. What was good about it was that it was very entertaining, and it improved some of the flaws from "Attack of the Clones." I thought that the character of Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) was way better in this film. In the previous film I thought that he was too winey, and I found him annoying in that one. He was too immature in that one, but he really grew up more for this one. However he was still very naïve, and he was manipulated very easily by Chancellor Palpetine (Ian McDiarmid) to join the dark side. I feel like they developed his character more for this, and in a better way.
What was wrong with the film was that they tried a little bit too much to make it epic. The fight between Obi Wan (Ewan McGregor) and Anakin was perhaps the most entertaining duel in either trilogy, but they took it too far. But it wasn't awful though. It had some cool parts, and then a few really over the top parts. The battle that was going on between Darth Sidius and Yoda at the same moment was the one I didn't like at all. It started off and it looked like it would have been great, but then it just went downhill. Now that we have much more CGI they just pump more and more of it into the light saber duels, and take them too far. The best duel in either trilogy was when Luke first fought Darth Vader at the end of "Empire Strikes Back." That was great, because it felt realistic, and it wasn't overblown with CGI.
The film was decent, and it gets put down because it wasn't as good as any of the originals. I think it had its ups and downs, but for a prequel it was pretty good. For one of the originals it wasn't that good. You have to see it anyways just to see how Anakin became Darth Vader.

This film won best picture for 2012, and it really deserved it. Though it was my 2nd favorite film of 2012, first being Silver Linings Playbook I thought that it would get best picture for sure. This declassified true story delivers intense suspense, great dialog, and an awesome edge of your seat feel to it. It grabs you right off of the bat and just gets more and more awesome as it goes along. It was perfectly paced, and ten minutes into it my Dad and I looked at each other and said "This is already awesome for me." We walked out of the theater with our stomachs in knots because it got so heavy and intense. I felt tense for about a half hour after the film was done.
Partly because the film felt so real, and it was so convincing. Though the ending had to be made historically inaccurate so it wouldn't be boring for the audience it still felt real. This is a film that you probably knew the ending going into it, because it was a true story, and a declassified one so part of the struggle to writing this screenplay would have been making an ending that kept you on the edge of your seat even thought you know what will happen. Chris Terrio did a great job adapting the screenplay from the book. He won best-adapted screenplay for this.
Ben Affleck I never really liked him that much as an actor, but I have always thought he was a really good screenplay writer and director. He wrote Good Will Hunting with Matt Damon in high school, he wrote and directed Gone Baby Gone, and he wrote, directed and starred in The Town. He didn't write Argo, but he did direct and star in it. I grew to appreciate him as an actor more when I saw the town, but I thought he was really good in this. I think he should direct and write more films then he acts in. This film was different, because his films usually take place in Boston, and he gives the true feel of the city in his films. I come from Boston so I found that I could relate to his films like Gone Baby Gone, not for the story or characters, but because you get the true feel of the city of Boston in them. This film was so different from his other films, and it took place in many places all around the country and the world. I think that is what made this an interesting film for him to do, and he pulled it off beautifully.
Protesters try to break into the American Embassy in Tehran so they are forced to shred all of the documents after all attempts to hold off the crowd fail. Six diplomats escape as the protestors barge in and take everybody hostage. The escapee's are Robert Anders (Tate Donovan), Cora Amburn-Lijek (Clea DuVall), Mark Lijek (Christopher Denham), Joseph Stafford (Scoot McNairy), Kathleen Stafford (Kerry Bishé), and Lee Schatz (Rory Cochrane). The actors actually looked like the real people. The Canadian ambassador lets them hide at his place.
Things get intense in the CIA as they try to figure out a way to get them out. Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) a CIA exfiltration specialist is brought in to help come up with an idea to get them out. He is inspired by watching Battle for the Planet Of the Apes to do a cover story where the escapee's would be Canadian filmmakers looking for locations for their film in Iran for their science fiction movie.
Tony and Jack O'Donnell (Bryan Cranston) get in touch with John Chambers (John Goodman) and tell him of their idea. Chambers is a Hollywood makeup artist. They then get in tough with Lester Siegel (Alan Arkin) who is a foul-mouthed Hollywood producer that is hilarious. He sets up a fake movie, script, publicizes it to look legitimate. The film will be called "Argo," and it will be a sci-fi fantasy. It then becomes a really intense movie with a lot of suspense, and an incredible story.
Siegel's most famous line is "Argo f!@#k yourself." When somebody keeps asking what Argo means and he can't tell him he says that it means "Argo f!@#k yourself" so the guy would leave him alone. At one point he tells a guy in Hollywood "go f!@#k yourself" and I think that was almost like foreshadowing to the line "Argo f!@#k yourself." In a way it was. I think it is one of the most clever lines of all time.
The movie was absolutely awesome. I loved it from start to finish, and I would recommend it to everybody. The story was incredible, and the fact that it really happened made it even better. The book isn't that great, and it is boring, but the movie blows you away.

Quentin Tarantino returned after a six-year break from directing with Kill Bill: Volume one. What happens in this one is that The Bride (Uma Thruman) was about to get married when several people came in and shot everybody to death. She somehow survived a shot to the head, and ended up in a coma for years. When she wakes up she realizes that the baby she was carrying at the time is gone, and she knows what has happened to her. She decides to get her revenge on Bill (David Carradine), but first she has to find him. She ends up going through many fights, and kills a lot of people, but she doesn't get to Bill until the end of Volume Two. This was a great one, and it was really exciting and entertaining.
This is when Quentin Tarantino really started to get weird. I mean even weirder then before. His style really changed in the 21st century compared to his 90's films like "Pulp Fiction," "Reservoir Dogs," or "Jackie Brown." This is when his films started to have a bit of satire in them too. I felt like this film made fun of old Japanese ninja films, and made them look stupid at times. That is what I meant by satire. The stuff in this film really didn't seem serious at all, and at times I felt like I had to laugh. The film is really cheesy at times, and that is why you laugh. Tarantino always had a lot of humor in his films, but he tried a different approach to humor with the two Kill Bill films that he would later use in "Inglorious Basterds," and "Django Unchained."
However it is perhaps the most violent movie I have ever seen, or at least one of them. The film is bloody as hell, and people are getting decapitated, and having limbs cut off through out the film. The ending is literally a blood bath, but it is such an exciting ending though. The sword fights in the film are awesome, but man ohh man are they violent. But it is Quentin Tarantino so you should expect that from one of his films.
His films in the 21st century have had a lot more revenge in them. This film is about one woman's revenge against a man named Bill, who tried to kill her at her wedding. After the two Kill Bill films he did two more even greater revenge films "Inglorious Basterds," and "Django Unchained." Now it seems that the ideal Tarantino film of the 21st century is a fantasy revenge flick, with satire in it. However this film stands out the most from all of his films, because it was not like his style at all really when it first came out.
Usually Tarantino films have long talking scenes, and great dialog. This film just had a ton of really over the top sword fights that were great. The film had more style instead of a great screenplay, and most of his films have great screenplays instead. The screenplay for Kill Bill is not one that I would call a masterpiece. He has written a few fantastic screenplays however. I find that when I watch his films I always wonder what is going on in Quentin Tarantino's head. He is one of my favorite directors, but he must be crazy. But I love his work, and I have seen and loved every film he has made. His style fascinates me, but I find it disturbing at times. I love this movie, and I love it's sequel. Quentin may be my favorite director, and this was one of his best works.

The whole idea of this film was so amazing. The way he knew all of the answers to the question, because of something in his life, was just such an incredible idea. The story is about a boy who goes on the show "Who wants to be a millionaire?" hoping that the girl he loves, and wants to be with is watching. He answers every question correctly, which makes the host suspect that he is cheating. He knows all of the answers because of certain events that happened in his life. he has to tell the stories of the events in his life that led to him knowing the answer.
Not only is this an amazing drama, but at the same time it is a beautiful love story. The whole story is about Jamal doing all of these things to find the girl he loves Latika. He goes through a lot to find her, and then they get separated again. Then he does even more to find her about 10 years later. He goes all throughout India to find her. That is what makes this a beautiful love story.
It is a great rags to riches story, because he was at first a boy that grew up in the slums, and then becomes a millionaire on a game show. But his whole life story is told in flashbacks. This movie started with a question, asking how did he win the game show, and you are given 4 multiple choice answers like on the show. After he wins he answers the question that was given to us. I won't tell you the answer, but you will know what I am talking about.
I usually don't talk about the camera work, and lighting in my reviews, but I will this time. The coloring of the film, is like the coloring of films like "Crash." The coloring was darker at several parts, but then brighter at others, which gives the film interesting visuals. They did some very interesting video editing for the scenes with Frieda Pinto that made her look even more beautiful then she is. She became my celebrity crush after I saw this. One with that you notice in really serious scenes, is that they whisper a lot. Not is not what you would see in real life, but it makes the scenes more emotional.
There were some really funny things that Jamal, and his brother Salim did to make money, like give fake tours at the Taj Mahal. They had a good amount of funny things in this movie which was great, so that way it isn't always sad, or depressing. There were some really sad things that were tough to watch. But there was a lot of heart warmth in this at the same time.
There was a lot of great acting in this film. The most well acted scene is the flashback to the part of Jamal's life that he learned the name of the colt revolver, and knew the answer to that question. When Salim is pointing the gun at Jamal telling him to leave, that was intense. All of the actors are really good in this film. Overall this is just an unbelievable movie.

This is my favorite Alfred Hitchcock film after Rear Window, and one of the rare movies that I will give a rating of a 10/10 to. It is a suspense story that gets used a lot today, but was entirely original when it was first used. Cary Grant plays Roger Thornhill; a man who is being mistaken for another man named George Kaplan and is and kidnapped. He is brought to a house where he is interrogated, and is forced to drink burban so he can stage a drunk driving accident. When he gets released a man he is talking to gets stabbed in the back right in front of him, and he pulls the knife out of the mans back, and it looks like he murdered him. Now he is wanted for murder, and a manhunt begins. That starts an awesome chain of events that truly do prove that Alfred Hitchcock is the master of suspense. This type of suspense story gets used a lot today, but it had never been done before this. A man running from the law trying to prove himself innocent, and find the person who is setting him up. That is a formula that is clichied now, but completely original back then.
Cary grant to me is the original Sean Connery. He sounds like him, acts like him, and even resembles him slightly. If Hitchcock made a Bond film it would be like this. When he talks with women he has the same charm that Sean Connery's James bond had. I find that a lot of the actors and actresses in old films were all-similar to each other. Now Hitchcock obviously loved blondes because all of the women in his films are blonde, and they do take on the same personality in each film. Grace Kelly is still my favorite actress in any of his films.
After he did this film he did Psycho, which may be his most famous movie, but is not his absolute best in my opinion. This film and Rear Window are his two bets films in my opinion. All of his films have something that stick out from the others. This one was much more of an adventure. It was a manhunt, and it had actions scenes at places like Mt. Rushmore. Rear Window was unique because it all took place in his house, and all you saw was inside his place and what he could see out the window. Psycho was much more of a scary flick, and it was creepier. Vertigo was unique for the dolly zoom. This film was the one that I felt like had more effects and action. The famous scene when he is getting chased by a crop dusting plane is awesome, because it is suspenseful. They give you little hints as to what is about to happen, and leave you guessing as to what will happen. You know something is going to happen but not sure what. Once it happens it looks really cool, and pretty realistic for a 1950's movie. The ending at Mt. Rushmore it all looked pretty fake, but it was still a great scene. Old films tend to be more reliant on story and suspense then effects, which is actually good.
This is one of y absolute favorites, and one of the greatest films of all time. Hitchcock was always amazing.

I just can't come to give the film more than a 40%.
