I absolutely love movies about the art of making movies, and especially when it happens to be the story of the production of a classic film. Better still is when that classic film is Alfred Hitchcock's 'Psycho,' one of the best films from one of my all time favorite directors. Today, the first official trailer for …

Up to now, we haven't seen too much from either project, but recently People Magazine featured this spread that revealed all of the principal actors from Fox Searchlight's …

Sometimes there's a film that comes along that boggles the mind. You cannot believe the thing exists, but there it is, paddling its arms forward like a Special Olympics finalist (and no, this is not a joke on the Special Olympics - they're too good for Birdemic: Shock and Terror). The movie tricks a viewer like yours truly; at first, having not seen anything made by its director, the inimitable… Continue

It was the first Hitchcock film I ever watched where I consciously knew I was watching Hitchcock. I actually… Continue
