Hitchcock’s “Psycho” with no new twists Director Gus Van Sant remakes the classic horror film from the ’60s.

BY TRAVIS NUCKOLLS LIFESTYLE STRINGER

The newest addition in the realm of remade movies is Alfred Hitchcock’s horror classic “Psycho.” In many cases the word “remake” brings with it a full load of questions: Will it be changed in any way? Will the cast members be right for their parts? Will they do a good job? Will it be as good as the original? This remake has been unique from the start because no attempt was made to change the original story. In fact, every effort was made to retell the original story — shot for shot and line for line. This new version features Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates, the part originally played by Anthony Perkins. The film also stars Anne Heche as the blond beauty taking a Anne Heche P la y s Marion Crane in the famous shower death scene. shower, William H. Macy as the private detective and Julianne Moore as the shower girl’s sister. (I am not going to give away any more of the plot because most people already know it, and in the one in a trillion chance you do not already know the plot, it would be a shame to ruin it for you) To answer the first question, the film was changed just slightly. There is a bit more nudity in the shower scene (only because when the movie was made the first time the censors would not allow it). There is also a bit more blood. For the most part however, the film has not changed a bit. Director Gus Van Sant has made the same movie, with different actors and an updated time frame. Are the cast members right for their parts? Will they do a good job? Yes, they are and yes, they do, particularly Vince Vaughn who plays Norman Bates with the same befuddled and innocent coyness that made Anthony Perkins so terrifying many years ago. The final question: will it be as good as the original? The answer is yes; the ’90s “Psycho” is a great Hitchcock flick. Vince Vaughn is the psychotic In the end, this film is no better and no worse than the first one. It inspires the same chills and terror, but only in the Norman Bates with an undying minds of those who have never seen the original picture. For those who have seen the original, this remake reminds love for his mother. viewers why they liked it in the first place. Deciding on which one you like better comes down to one more very simple question: color or black and white?

BY COREY STULCE WRITER AT LARGE

The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. OK sure, I was very near death and all, but you weren’t going to get rid of me that easily. I’m not really sure what crazy things have been flying around me the last week or so, but no I was not a witness for the impeachment hearings; I did not have any wacky hair-dying accidents; nor did I come down with any wacky STDs (that I know of). Somehow I contracted spinal meningitis. How? It beats the hell out of me. I really did not want to pass out nearly two weeks ago and have my siblings find me nude and deliriously tearing up a magazine in my room. Four days later I find myself waking up in intensive care with tubes jammed into two of my most uncomfortable holes. Trust me, when they took those out, I actually did pray a little. Now the last time I did any staying in a hospital I was an infant, so this has not been the most pleasant experience in my life. For some reason, when you have this sort of serious disease, the doctors and nurses like to pop in about every five seconds, just to make sure you’re still alive. I mean come on, I only flat-lined once. I think I had more drugs pumped through me in the last two weeks than Courtney Love, Rick James and the cast of the “Golden Girls” put together, and I have the marks and bruises on my arms to prove it. Actually if you connect the IV holes on my 415 ‘N. ‘bïll'F'F 'ROA-O COLLTN^VILL'E IL arms, it spells out “Love” and A T W f CO'RN'E'K OF 1-10 A ‘N0 151 “Hate.” It was nearly impossible for .
