What the hell!?? Alfred Hitchc*ck would be sooooooo pissed! The Re-Make of "Pyscho" was just simply crazy, now a Re-make of "The Birds"! Naomi Watts should have her SAG card taken away for trying to re-make another classic! Ehy doesn't Hollywood just clean up the oirginial 1963 classic and Re-Release it in theaters instead of trying to Re-make a great film. Try Re-making a bad film instead, not an Alfred Hitchc*ck classic!
Director Martin Campbell has alot of talent, but I guess not orginial ideas!?

Just clean up the orginial 1963 print, & re-release it in theaters! Naomi Watts should have her SAG card taken away for messing around with another classic!!

A remake of the classic Hitchc*ck film. Well, Psycho didn't turn out well so i don't think this will either.
