Psycho 1998: 5 Reasons It's An Excellent Idea
You might have complained to yourself recently that while this decade has enjoyed cultural pinnacles like the music of Chumbawamba, and televisual hits like Two Guys, A Girl and a Pizza Place, movies haven't yet reached those heights. Well, strap yourselves in and get ready because the first legendary film of the decade, and possibly the last of the millennium, is dropping later this year. Alfred Hitchcock, who directed dozens of films in his career which spanned from screwball comedies to psychological horror, is referred to lovingly as the master of suspense - and he deserved that label, until now. The new master is in town, and it's Gus Van Sant, the bold, brave director who is taking on Hitchcock's most famous movie and making it his own. That takes guts, and with guts comes glory. To say we're excited to see the results, and to see how Van Sant reinvents Hitch's withered old classic, would be a major understatement to say the least. So join us as we look ahead to the re-make of Psycho, and the five reasons it's going to be great.
