I really enjoyed the movie Frailty and it's nod to Hitchcock's work.

Many things in life are related to each other, or I should say based on each other. Examples are like a banana and an apple; they are related because they are both fruits. Or another would be a Bull dog and a Shiatsu, because they are both types of dog. But there are far more important relations tha...
