“I look up, I look down”: Vision and Seeing in Hitchcock’s Vertigo, Rear Window, and Stranger on a Train
Initial Insights Hitchcock’s manipulation of suspense, cameo appearances, and pure cinema ideology have become famous elements of his films. These three generalizations of Hitchcock’s films have become identification markers that allow anyone to recognize one of his films without even viewing the credits. However, Hitchcock was not born a master manipulator of suspense and many aspects of his films attribute the heart pounding and blood rising that viewers of his films experience. Hitchcock’s lighting and mise-en-scène have often been argued as some of the main sources of suspense, but there is more than what meets the eye. Hitchcock has a tendency in his films to allow access to his audience to the direct visuals that the main characters of his films see. In other words, the audience sees through the eyes of Hitchcock’s characters allowing the audience to step themselves into Hitchcock’s films. The limited or sometimes expansive knowledge of these characters through the character’s vision or eyesight becomes the only access of knowledge to the audience. From this limited point of view, Hitchcock effectively creates suspense in his films. Hitchcock’s manipulation of vision as a technique in his films developed overtime. Stranger on a Train (1951) shows Hitchcock playing around with vision, but over time with the making of Rear Window (1954) and finally Vertigo (1958), Hitchcock emphasizes vision even more to create different varieties of suspense.

Movie Review: 'Kid 90'
There is a temptation to write off the new to Hulu documentary Kid 90 as a navel gazing bit of personal nostalgia on the part of director and subject Soleil Moon Frye. The former Punky Brewster star, or rather current Punky Brewster revival star, now that I think of it, assembled Kid 90 from her own video and diary collection. As a teenager in Hollywood in the early 90’s, Frye carried her camera everywhere and captured her life in great detail.

The Movies of 1991 Turn ... 30!
It's hard to believe three decades have passed since we last saw the original crew of the starship Enterprise together for one last time. It's really hard to believe it's been three decades since Kevin Costner half-assed both a British accent AND a Louisiana accent in the same calendar year. And it's really, REALLY hard to believe that it's been 30 years since Arnold Schwarzenegger got the line "Yes, a mimetic poly-alloy" right in one take. But 30 years it has been since ... eek ... 1991!

Movies and Characters That Inspire: Alien and Ellen Ripley
Listening to Neil Gaiman talk about influences and ways to become inspired by other people's works inspired me to write this. Could Gaiman's suggestion be applied to any art form or medium, including film making? It's also extremely relatable when you think of the movies that you love. Everything that you allow to touch or move you on a personal level can inspire you in life. Or perhaps characters from a movie or TV show or anime or manga inspire you in some way.
