Movies (Do Revenge | Furiosa | Dial M For Murder)

Do Revenge

Obviously had to watch this after seeing Strangers on a Train, because this is a high school modern au of that starring Veronica from Riverdale and the lesbian from Stranger Things. I kept getting surprised by actors I recognized, oh that’s Sansa Stark, oh that’s Buffy Summers, oh that’s Noa from PLL:OS, what that’s one of Kamala’s love interests from Ms. Marvel okay.

Anyway, it was very fun, had a good time watching these teen girls get revenge and argue with each other. Spoilers below.

Dial M For Murder

Next on the Hitchcock endeavour. A fun little....not murder mystery no, but murder unravelment. Columbo-esque or Poker Face-esque, depending on your poison. But it had some horrendous kisses at its start, I was not convinced any of the three characters enjoyed those kisses. Apparently filmed in 3-D. (One must consider if the kisses were worse in 3-D.)

One of the talkier Hitchcocks. Like Rope, you could guess it was adapted from a play without the credits telling you, between the talkiness and the single setting. Hadn’t realized almost all of his films were adaptations. Apparently Hitchcock kept his name out of the negotiations to buy the film rights for Strangers On A Train from Patricia Highsmith, who was later quite annoyed at how little they sold for.

As always, spoilers under the cut.
