After recently rewatching the musical movie Across the Universe, I checked out IMDb to see what actor Jim Sturgess has done since, and discovered Feed the Beast. I remembered seeing commercials for it this past winter, so I was happy to find out all 10 episodes were available for streaming on DirecTV. Over the past four evenings, I've binge watched Feed the Beast. It's not as good as my favorite AMC dramas Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but I really enjoyed it. Jim Sturgess is great in the part of a low-life, creepy kind of guy that you want to hate, but part of you just likes him. At first I was turned off by the casting of David Schwimmer as the widowed father, having been so familiar with him as the whiny Ross from Friends. But by episode 6 or 7, his character seemed to turn a corner and now he really feels right in the role. Some of the story lines are predictable, but I did not see coming the big cliffhanger that happens at the end of episode 10. I really hope Feed the Beast is renewed for a second season so we are left hanging with what happened!

Psycho
(1998)
Total Waste of Time!
29 March 2014
Don't waste your time on this poorly made sequel! The original Psycho stands the test of time and didn't need to be remade, but we wanted to give this one a chance, since we are big fans of the new TV show Bates Motel. We hung in there after being bored for the first 15-20 minutes, hoping the movie would eventually pick up steam. Vince Vaughan does not convincingly pull off the role of unbalanced Norman Bates and neither does Anne Heche play the role of the female victim well. The only redeeming quality of this movie is a cameo by William H. Macy. The murder scenes were also interestingly directed with a dream-like, time lapse quality. Otherwise, with bad acting and a plodding storyline, it's just bad all around. Maybe I'm being too generous with 2 stars...
