Which movie psychopaths are the most realistic?

A team of researchers watched 400 Hollywood movies about psychopaths and analyzed them to determine which was the most realistic. Spoiler alert: No Country for Old Men comes in at the top spot, whereas Norman Bates and Hannibal Lecter did quite poorly. (They didn’t analyze the new NBC Hannibal, I’d have like to see what they thought.)

Series Review: Spider-Man

Let me preface this series review by stating that as a child Spider-Man was by far one of my favorite comic books ever.  I read all three of the series that were out at the time and was very loyal in making sure that I got each new issue.  So when they started making Spider-Man films ten years back, I was pretty pleased to see the webslinger finally getting his time on the big screen.  This was before comic book movies started to hit big and the only other super heroes to have any good screen time were Batman (courtesy of Tim Burton) and Superman.  Here I will take a brief look at each of the movies from the original trilogy as well as the latest film and the potential continuation of the series into infinity.

Review: ParaNorman (2012)

I must be doomed to watch kids’ films lately, because ParaNorman turned up on my Netflix as the most viable option this week.  I’m very glad I took the time out to see this one.  Rarely have I encountered a movie aimed at children that was as creepy and intelligently written as this one.  And though there’s nothing to jump out and make it into a work of sheer genius, it certainly comes a lot closer than most other films in the genre.

Spoiler alert: 'Bates Motel' just got really, really good

A few weeks ago, I expressed my pleasure with A&E's latest drama offering, Bates Motel. I wondered how and if we'd finally understand, from some sort of backstory, why Norman Bates became, well, psycho. And while Bates Motel is a bit of a prequel to the psycho days (even though it's set in modern times), until now, I really thought I'd figured everything out.

I was wrong. Oh man, I was SO wrong!
