Blade Runner (1982) - Film in 5 - Review and Opinion
For #Noirvember, let's take a look at the neo-noir classic Blade Runner. The film's visual style was stunning for its time, and its remarkable mix of cyberpunk and dystopian elements has had an immeasurable influence on films ever since. But where Blade Runner really shines is the story and the subtextual interpretations of what the film is actually about. This movie is a postmodern symbol built upon mythological foundations.
Check out our review of this science-fiction masterpiece.

Strangers on a Train (1951) - Film in 5 - Review and Opinion
Strangers on a Train (1951) dir. Alfred Hitchcock
This classic film noir is apsychological thriller from master filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock. The movie is a diabolical masterpiece and one of Hitchcock's most entertaining thrillers. In a coming of age for the director, the compositions of the cinematography perfectly frame the tensions and suspense in the tightly scripted drama.
Bruno, a psychotic male, meets Guy, a tennis player. During the train journey, Bruno realises that both wish to kill someone. He puts forth an idea where they both exchange murders to evade the cops.
