Hello Clarice!

The Silence of the Lambs is scary, also it's considered one of the greatest American films of the last 100 years. And Alyssa and I watched it Friday. Sir Anthony Hopkins is brilliant as the psychopath Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Jodie Foster really shows some acting chops in not being blown off the screen by him. There are definitely a few cringe worthy scenes, both gross parts and violent parts, but a really well done film overall that almost has you respecting "Hannibal the Cannibal" by the end. Alyssa watched the second half crammed in between me and the couch, alternating between watching and covering her eyes. She likes scary movies not at all. The last month has been really good for our progress on this list and hopefully we can continue with our one a week pace for a while, next up Redford and Newman in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
