My wife and I are trying to take in a few more movies lately. Really enjoyed Lincoln. It's the type of movie that make you want to jump into the books on on to Google to delve deeper into the subject matter.
We saw Hitchcock last weekend, and found it very entertaining. The movie about him followed his practice of entering the screen as a narrator. It provided an interesting effect. And Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh - uh - charming.
It was interesting that Both Lincoln and Hitchcock involved just a small, albeit important, slice of the life of both figures. And the wife of each played an extremely important role in the story being told.
This weekend, it's Hyde Park on the Hudson. Although the reviews have been mixed, I'm looking forward to seeing Bill Murray tackle FDR.
