However,Robert Downey Jr.is taking a slightly different approach for his directing debut....

Steven Soderbergh Gave Us His Own Take On ‘Psycho’ Without Any New Footage

Once upon a time, after announcing aretirement from filmmaking,Steven Soderberghcontinued pursuing the medium of cinema in a different, albeit still creative form:he spliced together a heady fan editthat weddedHitchcock’s horror classicPsychoandGus Van Sant’s fascinating but controversial shot-for-shot remake. By editing the two films together in the way that he does, Soderbergh creates a surrealistic movie of doppelgängers (very Hitchcockian, veryVertigo) that not only compares the two versions back-to-back but also examines what makes Hitch’s version undoubtedly superior....

The Chaotic 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Finale Proves the Franchise Is Beyond Saving

Producers' futile attempt to tie up loose ends with the primary cast fell flat. Atlanta’s most favorable newbie,AngelaOakley,hosted a charity gala that was the focal point of the episode, but unlike final events in previous seasons,it failed to deliver a kumbaya moment for the women.Ironically, while it didn’t unite the cast, the gala for the Charles Oakley Foundation was one of the most financially successful charity benefits in RHOA history, bringing in over $100K in donations....

For those who are familiar with the story, it focuses on Mowgli (Neel Sethi), a boy raised in the jungle by wolves, who must go on the run when he becomes hunted by the jungle’s cruel overlord, Shere Khan (voiced byIdris Elba)....
