Sci-Fi Bri's Movies: "Hitchcock" (2012)
Characters/Actors: Alfred Hitchcock (Anthony Hopkins), Alma (Helen Mirren), Janet Leigh (Scarlett Johanssen), Jessica Biel, etc.
Biopic about master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock and his unsung partner and spouse Alma during the making of his most famous and successful film, "Psycho". The unrecognizable Anthony Hopkins plus the performance of Helen Mirren are reasons alone to see the film. Also, it mentions that the movie and book it was based on was loosely based on the life of a real-life killer.
"Argo" Dir. Ben Affleck
Actors: Ben "Good Will Hunting" Affleck, Alan "Little Miss Sunshine Arkin, John "Barton Fink" Goodman, etc.
Supposedly based on a true story, in which a CIA agent solicits Hollywood to write a script for a fake movie as a ruse to rescue some escaped hostages in Iran during the hostage crisis of 1979. "Argo" is the name of the fake movie about a science-fiction space story a la "Star Wars". It sounded a little too good to be true, but it was a really interesting and suspenseful film. The movie or some of the cast will probably be nominated for acting or film awards.
