Did Steven Spielberg Plagiarized Alfred Hitchcock?
A lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court on Monday claims that Steven Spielberg and major Hollywood studios stole the plot from Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1954 film 'Rear Window' in making last year's 'Disturbia.'

Scoperto un nuovo cameo di Alfred Hithcock?
Che Alfred Hitchcock amasse avere ruoli cameo nei propri film è cosa risaputa.

Ecco che però, oggi, una nuova possibile apparizione del maestro della suspance sembra essere stata avvista.

Voi che dite, sarà lui?

Scorsese's Epic Wine Commercial & Self Parody
Just when I thought I couldn't love Martin Scorsese more, he makes an awesome commercial out of left field and makes fun of himself doing it. He is marketing it as if it's his new short film, based on the only three remaining pages of a lost Alfred Hitchcock script. Check it out at firstshowing.net or at his website.
