Wed, 17 Dec 2003 12:26:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flamepillar - The Birds is half love story, half nightmare, and something that is really hard to get away with nowadays. It is a story of many layers, open to the most outlandish of interpretation, and has subtext oozing out of its ears. I've seen this movie...

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 02:31:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Goatius - For some reason, over the last thirty some odd years, Hitchcock's The Birds has picked up the reputation of being a) one of the most frightening films ever and b) a masterpiece. Doesn't anyone actually watch this movie? Nothing could be further from...
