REVIEW UPDATE: NOTORIOUS and.... THE BIRDS

Hello, Sarcasto-philes.

Just a quick note to let you know two things:

1. The last two Hitchcock Flick reviews will post tomorrow...

2. ... and NORTH BY NORTHWEST will be replaced by THE BIRDS.

The reason for the swap is two-fold:

1. I wanted to have a good cross-section of Hitchcock flicks. We had a voyeurism thriller with REAR WINDOW, a missing-person thriller with THE LADY VANISHES, a cat burglar thriller with TO CATCH A THIEF, a man-on-the-run thriller with THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS, an espionage thriller with NOTORIOUS, and pseudo-supernatural thriller with VERTIGO. And since NORTH BY NORTHWEST is another man-on-the-run thriller and is too similar to THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS, I thought we'd pick another Hitchcock film: THE BIRDS - which is a nature-gone-amok thriller.

2. My "DVD Pimp" turned out to only have a Blue-Ray for NORTH BY NORTHWEST. And I have yet to convert to Blue-Ray. I like to live simply, folks.

Anyhow, blogging reviews had to take a back seat to actual living, so I won't get around to posting the reviews to NOTORIOUS and THE BIRDS until tomorrow evening. After all, movies are awesome - but nothing beats real life and cheap drinks with friends.

Hope you folks understand. Anyhow, y'all have a great night...

As soon as NOTORIOUS and THE BIRDS post, we will begin our Estrogen Parade with the Romantic Comedy flicks. Gird your loins... > )
