Getting Hitch-ed

As I was rummaging through the Biola Library for materials for an upcoming paper I need to write, I was drawn to the Video section.  After all, the weekend is coming up.

It is here that I realized that our humble library has an impressive collection of Alfred Hitchcock movies, some of them in their "restored" version.

Of course, my first pick is "Rear Window."  Such a great movie for its technical excellence, minimalist plot and intelligent acting.  Because this is the DVD era, you get the "Special Features" which are quite special.

I watched the documentary about the "restoration" of this film and in the process praising the genius of Sir Alfred Hitchcock whom they fondly call "Hitch."

If I did not lose my ID today (fell off my pocket as I was biking to the gym... argh!), I would have checked out "The Man Who Knew Too Much," then "The Trouble with Harry," then switch back to "Vertigo" and "North by Northwest." Do I dare watch "Psycho" again?  Well, why not.  There are worse things you can do than getting "Hitched" again.

P.S. The title of this BLOG is a tribute to my dear friend Missy, who, in a very different and more romantic way, is getting "hitched."  Congratulations! This June, she is walking down the aisle in the manner of (Alfred Hitchcock's muse) Grace Kelly.
