6/10

I just got back from an Alfred Hitchcock/ Farley Granger double feature at the Music Box Theatre in Chicago. It was a spectacular experience, capped by the fact that I got to meet Farley, and he autographed my copy of Rope on DVD!

Between on-stage interviews with him, the theater screened:

Strangers on a Train (1951)
I've always considered this one of Hitchcock's most technically solid films. Every shot is well calculated, and there is some seriously cool symbolism and trick-shot-photography contained inside.

Rope (1948)
One of my top five favorite Hitchcock films, and easily his most underrated. When I heard they'd be screening this, I practically shat myself in excitement. I've probably seen it twenty-five times before, but this big-screen experience made it seem like new. Exhilerating and beautifully shot, and never dull. And having an autographed copy is very cool.

Mr. Granger was an unbelievably nice guy, and very generous. I feel very blessed to have met him.

Jason X

The Friday the 13th franchise bottomed out with Manhattan & Jason Goes to Hell, so naturally, there was nowhere to go but up, right? Jason X takes itself considerably less serious than it's predecessors which is a good thing. At least they realized they were making a cheesy popcorn movie so they loaded it up with all kinds of creative kill scenes. It's a pretty entertaining flick but don't expect to be scared or see a great movie. It's pure cheesy fun.
