February will soon be upon us, and, difficult as it may be to believe, it’s Leap Year! I’m not sure what I’m going to do with my extra day, but I’m going to try to make it a good one!<\/p>\n

The Turner Classic Movies channel doesn’t have an extraordinary amount of mystery movies scheduled for February 2024, however there are quite a few Alfred Hitchcock movies sprinkled throughout the month. When I say “sprinkled” – that’s exactly what I mean… it seems the channel decided to put a few on one day, then skip a few days before adding a few more, etc. They all start on Monday, February 5. As an Alfred Hitchcock fan, I have to admit that I have seen almost all of them. (There is one I’m not sure about.) Still, I plan on watching several of them again — that’s how much I enjoy his films.<\/p>\n
