Now known as Escape 2000, this is one of those brilliant Australian movies featured in the excellent documentary Not Quite Hollywood. Featuring a cast of both Australians and Americans, it is set in a futuristic concentration camp where you expect Pam Grier or Phyllis Davis to be taking a shower. Instead, you've got Olivia Hussey and Lynda Stoner (who spends a lot of time running around bra-less in her jumpsuit). A ridiculous amount of fun. The sad thing is that I have not ever heard of Lynda Stoner having done a nude scene in her career, so this may be the best there is.

Isidor (Jose Zuniga) owns what could very well be the best eatery in New Mexico; from tacos to tortillas, the food is amazing. Problem is, Isidor doesn't make any money because his restaurant is in a town with a population on the south side of 100. But gastronomic ignominy may be a thing of the past when the face of Jesus Christ appears on one of his tortillas. The faithful will be flocking … and they'll be famished! Judy Hecht Dumontet directs. Also starring Olivia Hussey.

Director Franco Zeffirelli's exceptional version of Shakespeare's immortal tale casts young unknowns Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting as the teenage lovers crossed by the stars and doomed by their families' hatred. Co-stars Michael York, Milo O'Shea; narrated by Laurence Olivier. 138 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English; theatrical trailer.

Stephen King's favorite adaptation supervisor Mick Garris got yet another dream gig with this 1990 sequel to Hitchcock's classic movie, and while Garris' King adaptations have left much to be desired, his usually bland direction is absent from this compelling continuation of the story of Norman Bates. Reprising his most known role for the final time, Anthony Perkins doesn't do a whole lot, yet is still as chilling as ever as the psychotic mama's boy who has settled into a somewhat normal life, only to have that killing urge return inside him. The reason Perkins doesn't do much here? He spends 98% of his screen time on the phone with CCH Pounder who plays a talk radio host doing a live show on matricide. Via Perkins' narration, we learn the back story of Norman Bates' childhood and how his schtizophrenic mother Norma sculpted him into the disturbed freak that he'd become.

In the flashback sequences, Henry Thomas gets the honor of playing a put-upon and emotionally destroyed young Norman, and he sets to task fairly well, balancing rage with the horror of his actions. Alas, it is veteran actress Olivia Hussey who steals the show, and as this is an origins story, the true villain of the piece is Hussey's raging and seduction Norma Bates. One minute loving and warm, the next shouting and dehumanizing, the Hell of Norman's childhood is vividly portrayed and the motivations for his future crimes are clearly set in place.

A nice addition to an already rather stellar series, the Psycho movies remained the classiest and most consistently entertaining of the various horror franchises by always keeping an eye on its characters and thus staying above the typical hack and slash ways of the various series it helped spawn. The movie is not yet available on DVD, but hopefully will join the rest of its brethren soon. laso starring Sharen Camille as one of Norman's first (and cutest) victims.
