Psycho 3 There are very few instances of an actor who is playing the lead character in a revered movie franchise who actually goes so far as to get to be the DIRECTOR of a later sequel in that same franchise, but that is exactly what happened in 1986 with Anthony Perkins and his character […]

Psych-Out As the opening moments of this film unspooled, showing San Francisco in the height of the hippie era of the 60s, a small part of me wondered aloud “Why can’t it be like this again?”. Indeed, in our modern age which has proven the liberal agenda to be just as vicious and judgmental as […]

Public Enemies A couple things that can be said right now about Michael Mann’s 2009 disaster: The art direction and production design, right down to the costumes, are immaculate and look great, and the film features both an evocative opening scene showing John Dillinger escaping from prison complemented by an appearance from character acting legend […]
