I'm currently rewatching early 40s Hitchcock ( Foreign Correspondent, Saboteur, etc.) and Lifeboat is up next.
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Saboteur is so odd, isn't it? Not really a GOOD movie, but fascinating.
I liked it more than I remembered, but I love all of his innocent-man-on-the-lam (who wins the trust of the beautiful woman) films. See also, Young and Innocent, The 39 Steps, and, of course, North by Northwest.
Also, Saboteur is one of the hardest Hitchcock cameos to spot.
I have tried to watch Saboteur a few times on the late movie, and always end up falling alseep.
It's certainly one of those films that really shouldn't be two hours long.
I watched The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift yesterday. Despite having only the loosest connection to the franchise, it was better than the second movie for some reason. Possibly because Han was awesome. I'm a little excited for the new movie now!
Dude, those are brilliant.
Oh, now I have to have a Watchmen release party.

It could be a costume party, except then you'd have to worry about someone showing up naked with their skin dyed blue....
