FromNorth by Northwestto the iconicPsycho,Hitchcock’s work has inspireddirectors and filmmakers across genres. With moreclassic picks likeCastle RockandYou, you’d never guess that one of the best Hitchcock tributes came from an episode ofRaising Hope. At first glance,Greg Garcia’s — the show’s creator — style is distinctly different from Hitchcock’s. For one, the latter was not a funny man and created some of themost intense on-screen moments in film history....

Martin Scorseseis one of the giants of the gangster genre.Goodfellasis one of the best films ever made, and the worst thing you’re able to say aboutCasinois that it’s not as goodGoodfellas.

In some ways,Niki Caro’sThe Zookeeper’s Wifefeels incredibly timely. It’s a film that’s about people who could have gone about their business taking a risk to protect the persecuted. While present-day America is nowhere near Nazi Germany (contrary towhat Tim Allen says), a story like the one presented inThe Zookeeper’s Wifeis always important: we must find a way to protect others even if it’s at great risk to ourselves. The problem the film continues to run into is that it never really wants to reach for those risks or show the dangers....

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdomeis hardly anyone’s favorite entry in theMad Maxfranchise. Being the series' first and only outing to receive a PG-13 rating, it lacks much of the edge that definesMad Max, trading it in for more fantastical themes, kid-friendly camp, and mythological iconography.
