As Alfred Hitchcock’s film Rear Window has been out since 1954, there have been many reviews and speculations about the film as a whole.

He praised the movie that was…

However, this has happened before, we the viewers are just know seeing the exchange between the characters for the first time. This can help the audience have a connection with Leonard…

Captivating, suspenseful, riveting, exhilarating are only a few of the words that I would use to describe the movie Taken.

Taken, not for the faint of heart, will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire ninety-one minutes. Be prepared to have the popcorn container pried from your…
