Dial M for Murder Overview

DIAL M FOR MURDER - DVD Movie

Dial M for Murder Specifications

A suave tennis player (Ray Milland) plots the perfect murder, the dispatching of his wealthy wife (Grace Kelly), who is having an affair with a writer (Robert Cummings). Amazingly, the wife manages to stave off her attacker, a twist of fate that challenges the hubby's talent for improvisation. Alfred Hitchcock wisely stuck to the stage origins of Dial M for Murder, ignoring the temptation to "open up" the material from the home of the unhappy couple. The result may not be one of Hitchcock's deepest films, but it's a thoroughly engaging chamber movie. It also features Grace Kelly at her loveliest, the same year she made Rear Window with Hitchcock. Dial M for Murder was filmed in the briefly trendy 3-D process, and Hitchcock shot some scenes to bring out the depth of the 3-D field; it's especially good for the nail-biting attempted murder of Kelly, and her desperate reach for a pair of scissors that seems to be just outside her grasp. However, the film was rarely shown with the proper 3-D projection, going out "flat" instead (a 1980 reissue restored the process for a limited theatrical release). Dial M was remade in 1998 as A Perfect Murder, a film that changed and expanded the material, with no improvement on the clean, witty original. --Robert Horton

Afro Samurai: The Complete Murder Sessions [Blu-ray]

Afro Samurai: The Complete Murder Sessions [Blu-ray] Review

One of the best revenge stories ever. It has a very simple concept, a boy's father is killed and the boy wants to avenge his father, from there we go into the story of Afro Samurai. The story is continued in the movie Afro Samurai: Resurrection where we get a more in-depth look into revenge and how it doesn't end when one person dies, it continues on forever. The director's cut gives the viewer more scenes in both the series and the movie, most of which flesh out the story more and give the characters more reasons for why they do things. Overall this is a great series. If you like action and a ton of violent, bloody battles then this is for you. If you like revenge stories and you want to add this to your collection then you'll like this.
