The idea of a movie revolving around the making of Psycho is certainly an intriguing one, made better by the fantastic cast that was involved, with a wonderful looking Anthony Hopkins in the guise of the Master of Suspense. That is not exactly what I got, but what I liked about this movie, is how […]
On March 12, Fox Home Entertainment is releasing both the film, Hitchcock, starring Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren, along with a classic collection of Alfred Hitchcock’s films, which are being released onto Blu-ray in a 3-disc set. This collection includes Notorious, Rebecca, and Spellbound. Hitchcock was met with some criticism regarding the film’s plotting and style […]
Among the people that I would offhand list as my favorite directors, Alfred Hitchcock would be one of them. The movie I regard as my favorite horror movie (let alone a favorite movie of mine in general) is Psycho. The idea of a movie revolving around the making of Psycho is certainly an intriguing one, […]
Liz, Brenna and Salim review this fascinating behind-the-scenes story of Hitch and the making of Psycho. Starring Liz Manashil, Salim Lemelle and Brenna Smith. Directed by Cooper Griggs. Synopsis: Alfred Hitchcock is the world’s most famous director. But when he chooses the controversial Psycho as his next movie, no one will support it. Risking everything, he and […]
Wrapping up the 90’s, 1999, to be exact, author Thomas Harris decided to continue his Hannibal Lecter tale with the sequel to Silence of the Lambs with Hannibal. This caused quite a stir in Hollywood, and rights were snatched up, with production to begin for the film version of Hannibal as soon as possible. The […]
It has been an extremely busy year for comic book based films, and we’re still not done yet; Captain America, I’m looking at you! Before we get to the Cap’n, we’ve got to get to the God of Thunder himself; Thor! I need to preface this review by stating that I received the full 3-D […]

From Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures comes a unique and compelling twist on the Super Hero genre with the out-of-this-world warrior THOR, debuting on high definition Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray and DVD September 13, 2011. Called “spectacular” (USA Today), “thrilling, entertaining and cool” (Ain’t It Cool News) the phenomenal screen debut of the legendary God of […]
All movies related to exorcisms will undoubtedly have to answer to one question – was it as good as the Exorcist? In this case, the answer is definitely no, but it’s not a complete waste of time either. I’m glad I got the chance to watch it and I enjoyed the film. I really liked […]
Summer, 2011, is an important time for Marvel Studios. Both Thor and Captain America are going to hit theaters, and they have been designed to build into the Avengers movie that will be released in 2012. A dense movie universe, with so much history and comic mythology behind it, has not been attempted before, so […]
Anthony Hopkins looks tired and old in this “Is it psychological, or is it possession?” movie. The Rite, dealing with demonic possession and exorcism, has a couple of jump moments and some out-of-place funny dialogue (the audience actually laughed at some of the silly statements made), but basically covers in true PG-13 fashion, the same […]
When it comes to scary movies, or at least movies that attempt to scare people, the demonic possession/exorcism sub-genre of horror films does little to get me stirring in my seat. For example, I think the 1973 horror classic, The Exorcist, is a brilliantly made film, but it is not a film that really gets […]
The Wolfman did not exactly get the highest praise during its short theatrical release this winter and now I am presented with a dilemma. Our own Gregg Senko reviewed the film here not so long ago and single-handedly convinced me not to see this. However, now Universal is planning on serving up an Unrated cut this […]
I first encountered The Wolfman at the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con and being the werewolf fan that I am, grew excited with anticipation of its release. Little did I know at the time that it would be a full year and a half before this movie finally landed in theaters. It was, without a doubt, one of […]
