North by Northwest (1959) - Pretty good. Becomes rather tiresome when it hits its third act, but overall it's fairly enjoyable. No Vertigo or Psycho, but meh. 3.5 out of 5.

Shadow of a Doubt (1943) - Truly terrible child actors aside, this one's also decent. Kind of strange though for Hitchcock to tell us right from the start there's something "off" about Charlie. Remove that opening scene, and it would've been a much more effective mystery thriller. As it is, it's quite flawed scriptwise, but Joseph Cotten's performance and the suspense building make it worth seeing. 3.35 out of 5.

Dead Ringers (1988) - Dull, to be quite honest. I don't care about the characters, I don't care about the love story, I don't care about the plot...I just don't care. I love me some Cronenberg, but it wasn't as disturbing as something like Videodrome nor as emotional as A History of Violence. It's kind of in the middle between his body horror stuff and his more recent, "less nasty" dramas, which is to its detriment, I think. Jeremy Irons is good and there's nothing that bad about the film, but it's not very engaging. 2.6 out of 5.

Crash (1996) - No. No, no, no. No. No, no. No. Just, no. No. Nooooooo. Little more than Cronenberg directed fetish porn. Big nope. 1.4 out of 5.
