Up Inside the Cyclone: February

 I am not late for once! My last plot twist for this month had actually come up a few hours before this post! So, that is why I am just now doing this!


However, let's get to the movie first!




How can you ever go wrong with an Alfred Hitchcock film? This movie starts our with theft, then goes to murder, then goes to a schizophrenic state. Marion Crane is in a bit of a situation. She wants more out of her life but it's not going how she wanted it. She is working for a mortgager when a client comes in with $40,000 cash. Her boss doesn't want it in the building cause there is no safe place to keep it. He asks her to take the money to the bank and put it in their safe deposit box. She takes the money and runs instead. Without a plan, she packs a bag and drives all night to get out of town. She sells her car when she thinks she is going to be caught, and then drives until she has to take a break. She pulls over the the Bate's Motel. After checking in she starts to let her guard down. Everything is going well until she is murdered in the shower. After a few days of no one hearing from her, a private investigator is put on the case to search for her. However, it's not long after he shows up to the Bate's that he is murdered too. Can this mysterious murdering mother of the Bate's hotel be stopped? 

So, I have to say that this is the second time viewing this movie. The first time I saw it I was in the theater with my mom and it did scare me. I thought it was going to be a not so scary movie cause it was older but Hitchcock scares you on a philological level not a jump scare kind. The best part of that first viewing is that was some how spared getting the ending spoiled for me all of those years. 


So, let's see what my friends had in mind for me this month.

So February was one of the months that had to be split with two people. No one signed up for the solo person for the month so the task was one bonus day each of Jeannie and Nikki! Thankfully, both of their plot twists did not happen on the same day. Since I am not privy to the days they are planning I am at the mercy of the fact they could have ended up on the same days. However, that was not the case. 

Jeannie got hers in first!


This is the result!



It was the most delicious plot twist so far this year. Nikki got hers in just a few hours ago!



I miss movies so much and I can't wait till we get to go back!


Since we are only just getting started we have many more months to go! We have so many things happening that it's gong to be fun to see what my friends come up with next!
