I am not going to mention the worst acting since The Room, rushed editing, amateurish directing, gigantic plot holes, or the 'slippery corridor' scenes, because this could actually be fun to watch. Not to mention the main girl going full John McLane (see Die Hard) on the teenage attackers; they can fool the entire sheriff dept/police/SWAT teams, but they have nothing on her, because she was trained by her ex-military dad (see Commando)

What is inexcusable is the silly action movie treatment of the deadly-serious subject (see Elephant), and the message the movie conveys: teach your kids how to handle guns, tell them how to shoot animals, because one day they might just need that to shoot terrorists.

Avoid, or watch and weep. I'd rather see Die Hard and Elephant yet again.

A young woman defrauds her boss and attempts to get away with the money. On her way to escape, she stops at a deserted motel owned by an introvert Norman Bates (Perkins), and quite unexpectedly gets killed from the hands of Norman's mother. A young couple, with the helping hand of a private eye, follow the tracks of the missing woman down to the motel. And soon the murder unfolds the mystery behind the perpetrator's mind.

Psycho is a masterpiece of a thrilling, typically Hitch meta-genre cinema. Counting the number of references in other movies, you can easily call it a cult classic, which should be dug in the ground inside a time-capsule. The famous shower scene is just one thing why you simply must see this one, although labeling this movie as 'horror' is a bit misleading. Yet, some people consider it a proto-slasher movie, take notice everyone. And after those 45 years it is still a great watch for newbies. Recommended to all the Martians who have fallen on Earth and have no clue about the cinema.

After Batman & Robin I have not counted that I would see anything worse (or better for that matter) with Batman on the big screen. And, surprise surprise, here it is - a good Batman movie, with great Christian Bale as Bruce W., and fantastic Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon (he finally got a positive character, that nut). And it's just the top of the great names here, followed by Rudger Hauer, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine as Alfred.

The movie itself is much more comics-faithful than any previous part. It's dark and bleak, although not that sinister as Batman comics can be (especially from the post-Frank Miller era). We finally can have a good look on Gotham and how vast it is. I didn't like though the bad guys, one of which is a loser with a bag on his head, and the other a former Jedi master, who also happened to train Bruce Wayne in martial arts. Overall, a great entertainment foreseeing even better next parts.
