Our second Keanu Reeves film is, arguably, the one that made him the mega-star he is today. Written and directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski, 1999's "The Matrix" follows Thomas Anderson (Reeves), corporate computer drone by day, hacker by night, who spends his off-work time as "Neo," creating illicit software for a variety of buyers and searching for the mysterious "Morpheus" online. After a strange message appears on his computer, he meets Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) who warns him that he's being watched. The next day, he gets a phone delivered to him at work, which rings immediately after he slips it out of the package. On it, Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) introduces himself and warns Neo that "they" are coming for him. After Neo fails to elude Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) and his cronies, he's released after some disturbing hallucinations. The next day, he's contacted again my Morpheus, who wants to meet. He is picked up by Trinity and two of her partners, where he discovers that at least one of his hallucinations was real! He then meets Morpheus, who promises to show him the truth of "The Matrix" and gives him a choice to see that truth or forget all of this ever happened. He chooses to learn the truth, and thus begins his descent down a terrible, dark rabbit-hole into a world he could never have prepared for! Also starring Gloria Foster, Joe Pantoliano, Marcus Chong, Julian Arahanga, Matt Doran, Belinda McClory, and Anthony Ray Parker! And one of the geeks reveals which two horror masterpieces the G.I.T. will have to endure for the next pairing!

It is Keanu Reeves that we turn for this particular pairing, thought long-overdue by at least one of the geeks! And the pairing begins with a film that has become something of a forgotten success! Directed by Alfonso Arau, 1995's "A Walk in the Clouds" is something of an anomaly in the catalog of films Reeves has done. A solder, Paul Sutton (Reeves), freshly returned from World War II, reuinites with his wife, Betty (Debra Messing in her first film role), who he met and married in the last few days before heading off to fight. Their reunion is frisky but somewhat strained. Paul, at her behest, returns to his job selling chocolates and is headed by train for San Francisco. On board, he meets Victoria Aragon, a young woman traveling home to her family's vineyard in the Napa Valley. After accidentally swapping tickets, Paul finds himself on a bus to complete his journey, where he meets up with Victoria again. After saving her from two rude and dangerous men, he's kicked off the bus and must walk until he can find another ride. He comes across Victoria, sitting on her luggage, and crying. It turns out she's pregnant by a man who would not commit to her, and is terrified of returning home and telling her family, who are very traditional. Paul volunteers to pose as her husband for a day, then "leave her" and continue to San Francisco. Victoria's family, apart from her Father Alberto (Giancarlo Giannini), welcomes Paul with open arms, especially Alberto's father, Don Pedro (played by the amazing Anthony Quinn). As Paul and Victoria's lives begin to truly intertwine, Paul finds it more and more difficult to leave, but he refuses to betray his wedding vows. It will take a miracle to actually unite the two... but will such an event occur? Also starring Angelica Aragon, Evangelina Elizondo, and Freddy Rodriguez!

We return to the works of master storyteller Alfred Hitchcock for our this pairing, beginning with another of his iconic thrillers! Under Hitchcock'The second film in this pairing is one of Hitchcock's few outright horror films! Again directed by Hitchcock and written by Evan Hunter (based on short story by Daphne Du Maurier), 1963's "The Birds" follows big city socialite Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren) as she's out and about for the day. After running into an interestinb but rude man at a pet shop, while waiting to pick up a bird as a present for her Aunt, she decides to track him down and deliver to him the purchase he was there to make. She finds out that he is Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor), who weekends in a little community up the coast called Bodega Bay. After driving up, and making the acquaintance of several of the townsfolk, including the schoolteacher, Annie Hayworth (Suzanne Pleshette), she tracks him down to his home across the bay and leaves his desired purchase in his living room. As she heads back across the bay, Brenner spots her and drives around to meet her at the dock. Just as she's about to make it to shore, she's struck in the head by a seagull. After tending to her wound in the local restaurant, he invites her to dinner that evening. There, she meets his mother, Lydia (Jessica Tandy) and his little sister Cathy (Veronica Cartwright). Mitch convinces her to stay the night, and she returns to Annie's home to stay in a room she has for rent. The next day is Cathy's birthday party at the Brenner home. Unfortunately, the festivities are broken up when a flock of seagulls attacks the assembled partygoers. Thus begins a series of attacks by various birds throughout that day and the next, all unexplained, and resulting in several deaths!

We return to the works of master storyteller Alfred Hitchcock for our this pairing, beginning with another of his iconic thrillers! Under Hitchcock's steady director's hand, and written by Ernest Lehman, 1959's "North by Northwest" is a blur of tale revolving around mistaken identity. Advertising executive Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) is kidnapped and delivered to a stately country home. He is there introduced to Lester Townsend (James Mason) and his valet Leonard (Martin Landau). Addressing Thornhill as "Mr. Kaplan," Townsend and Leonard accuse him of being someone he is not, and for actions he has never taken. After escaping their attempt to kill him, he returns to the scene of the attempt the following day, only to be told none of the previous evening's activities actually happened. This begin a twising and turning path to the truth that takes Thornhill from New York to Chicago to the farmlands of Illinois. Along the way he meets a charming but mysterious woman, Eve Kendall (Eva Marie Saint) who may or may not be part of the conspiracy to convince the world that Thornhill is Kaplan, and responsible for dire events that were, in all actuality, not perpetrated by Thornhill (or Kaplan)! The third act of the film is Hitchcock at his finest, weaving in and around three different shell-games all taking place simultaneously! Also starring Leo G. Carroll, Jessie Royce Landis, Joselphine Hutchinson, and Edward Platt!
