I think I saw the first Transformers movie and it was more than enough for me then. I don't miss any of them.

You know Gerry, we must be kindred spirits. I LOVED both Psycho 2 & 3. (You like 3?). And when I get a free afternoon I will read your 3500 word post in it's entirety! Kidding. I does have a free afternoon and will likely read it as the evening goes on, in 1200 word chunks. This was only 3 years after Hitchcock's death, but it seemed decades removed from the master. Tony Perkins was so much fun as Norman here. He was fantastic! And Meg Tilly smelled like a cheese sandwich. :) Damn, I'm liable to bust this out on my firestick tonite! Perkins was actually a very good director. I don't really considered them sequels to Psycho. Only Hitch could have done that. And he never would've.

Perkins only directed 3 though, and Mick Garris 4 (a tv-movie). 2 was done by Richard Franklin, best known for coma-thriller Patrick (and the 'monkey thriller' Link, which I recall was good, but haven't seen in ages either).
Has Hitchcock ever made a statement how he felt about sequels? He did do a remake (of one of his own films), but never a sequel. I think his might have been equal as far as suspense goes (the film IS very suspenseful), but he would definitely structured the story better.

As for if I like 3. Been ages too, but not so much I seem to recall - I recall it to be more of a regular slasher affair, than a suspense film like 1 and 2. Can't remember either if I liked 3 or 4 better, but probably both not too much.
And I still have to finish Bates Motel, which they stopped airing here after two seasons. Is that still going or finished?

Generally, since she had a daughter, you'd assume she had a husband. Certainly during the period Lila Crane was child bearing age. And it would've stretched believability to the point of breaking to think a woman as hot as Vera Miles would have stayed single her whole life! The suitors would have been showing up at her door with bouquets of flowers & boxes of candy from dawn 'till dusk! Somebody get me a time machine!

But it is strange to allude to the Sam Loomis character and use his name, if you not make that part of the script. There is only the last name change and not a word more about it. It makes things unnecessarily confusing.

Thanks. I assumed he'd also directed the 'New Beginning' one. I didn't realize it was done for television. I actually liked it a lot. Perkin's performance was very touching. Probably the more-so for me because I didn't see it until he'd passed.

No, I doubt Hitch ever mentioned the idea of sequels. They weren't really done during his heyday. Well, only B movies usually, or series pictures like The Thin Man. And Hitch, from what I've read needed to continually do something fresh to keep his interest. But I'll amend what I said. If Robert Bloch had written a 'slam bang' almost too good to be true sequel to Psycho, I could see Alfred doing it. The man loved having a hit.

The actress in 3, Diane Scarwid (SP?), became a big deal just before 3 was released for something else she had done. For a few years people were clamoring for her, then I don't know what happened. I didn't bother with Bates Motel. For me, when Tony Perkins died he took Norman with him. Did you see the TV thing with Bud Cort? It wasn't bad. And I read that Perkins liked it.

I saw Annabelle: Creation last night. Now here's a rare thing: a horror sequel that is actually better than its predecessor. I wasn't sold on a spin-off film in the first place, because to me everything I needed to know about the Annabelle doll was covered in the first Conjuring film. The first movie was decent if unremarkable. This one is a noticeable improvement. It's generally well-acted, although at times the mannerisms and delivery of some of the young girls take you out of the 50s-era setting. There is some blood and gore towards the end, but the Conjuring films have always kept this to a minimum and I"m glad to see the same is followed here. I had to leave as soon as the end-credits began and forgot that there was a mid-credits scene as well as a brief teaser for the upcoming film about the Nun from Conjuring 2. Overall, it was a good evening at the cinema.

Daina Scarwid co-starred in Mommie Dearest. Maybe that was the movie that made her the 'it' girl back then? Funny if it did because Mommie Dearest almost destroyed Faye Dunaway's career.

While on my three day trip to Seattle, at my brother's house we watched The 40 Year Old Virgin, American Pie and Wild Things. These were all re-watches for me. All are good. Wild Things should be on everyone's list of movies to see as it's full of twists and turns that you just don't see coming.

I went to see this last night as well and could have written a virtually identical review. :) It was creepy and fun but nothing groundbreaking.

Hell and High Water. Strange as this will sound Chris Pine was amazing. Do yourself a favor. Find it watch it.

I started watching this the other day and really liked what I saw. Only watched about half of it, hubby caught some and wants to watch too, so I just stopped it. We will try to watch it in the next day or so, now that he's on days off.

Watched The Green Mile again over the weekend. How I love this movie! It makes me cry every darn time.

Nocturnal Animals. Wow, this movie is dark! Very violent beginning. The ending made me throw my hands up in the air. Overall I liked it. Jake Gyllenhaal is fast becoming one of those "have to watch" actors for me. Michael Shannon is always good, too. He really looked sick to me in this one, like his character.

Midnight Special...Michael Shannon is also in this one. It was ok, predictable but an enjoyable enough couple of hours.
