Hitchcock

Drama, True Story
4.5 stars
Loved it.  Anthony Hopkins stars as Alfred Hitchcock while filming the classic Psycho.  I was skeptical about this one, since Hopkins doesn't really look like Hitchcock and I thought just the filming of the movie would be dull - but it isn't.  We get an insider's look at his marriage (Helen Mirren plays his wife), and some insight on the true story that inspired the plot of Psycho.  Even though we all know what a classic hit Psycho was, I couldn't help but feel the suspense as Hitchcock tries to prove all the naysayers wrong by making this movie.  Very good film.
