Rear Window
Film Review July 23, 2000
by Marjorie Baumgarten
Description: One of Hitchcock's most accessible films is also one of his most gleefully deviant, dealing as it does with such fun urban pastimes as voyeurism and spousal mayhem.

Slipped Discs
Screens Story December 5, 2008
by Kimberley Jones
Description: An equal emphasis on the blood and the lust
"...In recalling Hitchcock's most iconic moments, it may be the creepy-crawly ones that come to mind first – a sky blackened with birds, a screech of violins heralding chocolate syrup's circle down the drain – but dig a little deeper, and you'll remember the kisses. A heavenly Grace Kelly filling the frame in slo-mo, the sound dropped out (the better to hear the celestial trumpets)..."
UK Calling
Music Story February 23, 2007
by Marc Savlov
Description: Damon Albarn leads SXSW 07's UK act armada. Again.
"...We'd like to talk to the Beirut-born, London-based musical marvel Mika, but the last time we spoke, he reduced us to the tearfully vertiginous state of being "Grace Kelly," which also happens to be the name of our second favorite song this year. Debut Life in Cartoon Motion is as stingingly catchy as a case of the funkies, and he does a mean Freddie Mercury when it suits him..."

by Marc Savlov
Description: Alamo brings in big technology for 'Little Expo'
"...3-D movies get a bum rap. We've all heard the arguments against this most outrageous of cinematic gimmicks: "The glasses are uncomfortable!" "The process makes my head ache!" "Ray Milland's acting is too wooden – Grace Kelly would never go for such a schmo!"..."

"...He discovered Brooke Shields when she was 11 years old.

Letters at 3AM
Columns July 25, 2003
by Michael Ventura
Description: We have replaced our concept of the heroic with the superheroic, and the sense of the possible with the impossible.
"...In Red River and The Searchers Wayne is obsessive to the point of psychosis and often cruel. In High Noon Gary Cooper never hides his fear and isn't too proud to beg (pleading with people to help him); and it's his bride, Grace Kelly, who saves his life by firing the last shot; nor is he above bitterness when all is said and done, throwing his badge into the dust with contempt for everyone without the decency and integrity to make a stand..."

You Made Me Love You
Arts Story March 1, 2002
by Katherine Catmull
Description: What is this thing called crush? Specifically, what makes us swoon over people we've never met? The creative minds at the Blue Theater have gathered over two dozen actors, musicians, artists, writers, and puppeteers to create art, wall-writing, and short performance pieces to address that very question in Celebrity Crush.
"...But then you see Rear Window again, and there's Grace Kelly, just escaped from the bad guy and breathless with excitement. Or you flip on the car radio, and your heart is unexpectedly pierced by John Lennon's stubborn nasal wail..."

Description: Don't have any one to cuddle up to on Valentine's Day? Hunker down with the most romantic moments in movies instead.
"...Sexiest Kiss in a Hitchcock Film: Rear Window Beating out even Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant's prolonged smooch in Notorious is Rear Window's opening liplock between a drowsing, incapacitated Jimmy Stewart, as shuttermonkey L.B. "Jeff" Jeffries, and an ethereal, pre-princess Grace Kelly, as love-struck society gal Lisa Fremont..."
The Others
Film Review August 10, 2001
by Marc Savlov
Description: I'm tempted to call The Others the best haunted house film since Robert Wise's 1963 masterstroke The Haunting. In its wonderful and subtle use of atmospherics and top-notch performances, and... 
by Marc Savlov
"...Father Charles (Eccleston) is away at war and hasn't been heard from in many months, and Grace is struggling to keep her frayed nerves from failing completely. To make matters worse, the children suffer from an extreme photosensitivity -- exposure to direct sunlight can kill them, and so Grace (looking very much like a dour Grace Kelly) keeps the house in perpetual twilight, drawing thick velvet draperies against the light and allowing the children out of their rooms only at night..."
Book Reviews
Books Review December 22, 2000
by Stephen MacMillan Moser
"...You couldn't speak to us." But even within the framework of the period, Stella emanated something special -- a feeling that underneath the glacier burned a fire of passion and sensuality, combined with a look that was basically very American. Sort of a haughty Grace Kelly, if you will..."

by Stephen MacMillan Moser
Description: All that Stephen Allows.
"...The Fashion of Fear, showing on June 19, takes a look at the language of clothes used in thrillers and mysteries, and will be followed by Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief, a monument in costume design, if not filmmaking. Hitchcock was a director who overlooked no detail when it came to his female stars, and Grace Kelly and Cary Grant look so delectable..."

Closed Doors
Arts Story December 11, 1998
by Sam Martin
"...In #39, she is alone and half-clothed in her bathroom, checking in the mirror for faults in her thighs or stomach. It's as though we are privy to these characters worrying about getting older, losing their attractiveness, and ending up alone -- a stark contrast to the ideal of timeless beauty usually affiliated with the 1950s and its Grace Kelly fairy tales of the day..."
Rock This Way
Books Story March 20, 1998
"...Like Brigitte Bardot or Sophia Loren, the fact that Deneuve is both European and still alive means she hasn't been iconographized like exquisite dead blonde American movie stars - Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly.
