'Middleton' stars Vera Farmiga, Andy Garcia in a tale of self-discovery and college tour hooky
9 hours ago | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
How much do you really get to know a college from an official tour? The pervading opinion is not a lot. But in new film Middleton, a campus visit leads two starkly different parents to get to know themselves – and each other – as they wander off from the tour group.
Shot in eastern Washington at Gonzaga University and Washington State University, Middleton had its world premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival on Friday night. The film, which takes place all in one day at the titular fictional school, stars Vera Farmiga and Andy Garcia as the parents who meet on the college tour. »

“Bates Motel” season finale preview clip: “Midnight”
17 May 2013 10:36 AM, PDT | ChannelGuideMag | See recent ChannelGuideMag news »
It’s been a wild, unexpected ride through the psyche of a young Norman Bates in A&E’s Psycho prequel Bates Motel. While Freddie Highmore has proved a good choice to communicate the awkwardness and potential lethality in the future killer, Vera Farmiga has emerged as the show’s undeniable star. She’s a force of nature in every scene, careening ever-so-closely to Mommie Dearest camp yet still managing to make Norma’s emotions seem the action of a loving, if tragically misguided mother as opposed to the monster from the Hitchcock film. In this clip from the debut season’s finale, an episode titled “Midnight,” [...]

Freddie Highmore, Vera Farmiga, and Producers Carlton Cuse and Kerry Ehrin Talk Bates Motel at Paley Center Panel
15 May 2013 8:11 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The A&E drama series Bates Motel is currently wrapping up its first season and has already been picked up for Season 2. To celebrate the show’s success, the Paley Center held a panel called Bates Motel: Reimagining a Cinema Icon, and Collider was there to cover and attend the event. From executive producers Carlton Cuse (Lost) and Kerry Ehrin (Friday Night Lights), the show is a contemporary prequel that gives an intimate portrayal of how Norman Bates’ (unsettlingly portrayed by Freddie Highmore) psyche unravels through his teenage years and just how deeply intricate his relationship with his mother, Norma (in an awards worthy performance by Vera Farmiga), truly is. During the panel, Carlton Cuse and Kerry Ehrin, along with Freddie Highmore and Vera Farmiga, talked about the challenges of pulling this show off, what makes the relationship between Norman and Norma Bates so compelling to watch, what the actors bring to their characters, »

TV Recap: “Bates Motel” S01 E09 “Underwater”
14 May 2013 6:24 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
The best thing I can say about this episode is that we’re one closer to the end of the season. While Bates Motel has been threatening to go out with a bang, it appears that it will go out with a Goo Goo Dolls flavored whimper. As this show rolls merrily along, the consistencies seem to be that every female character is sexually unfulfilled so they attempt to ravage a Bates boy, Vera Farmiga’s performance grows increasingly wacky (if she continues down this path I think we’re in for some sweet Judy Garland channeling in the next season) and this town is really, really okay with drug and sex trades.
The episode kicks off with Shelby’s body being removed once again from the Bates motel. Norma is on edge so she takes it out on the stoners staying in her rooms and informs them they’re »

Bates Motel Ep 1.09: “Underwater” is the most entertaining episode yet
14 May 2013 3:58 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Bates Motel Season 1, Episode 9 “Underwater”
Directed by Tucker Gates
Written by Carlton Cues and Kerry Ehrin
Airs Monday nights at 10pm Et on A&E
“Underwater,” the penultimate episode in Bates Motel’s first season, may well be the most entertaining episode yet, by introducing some much needed dark humour to the series. Between Norma and Dylan’s reactions to Norman’s new pet Juno and Emma getting high; “Underwater” is terrifically funny in and throughout. Unlike last weeks episode, the wacky comic relief here is purely intentional. Take for instance Norma’s confrontation with the stoners and her, count them, three breakdowns (not to mention the assault on a real-estate broker). Bates Motel has the ability to balance a sense of the fantastic and the horrific with a touch of dark comedy, and that’s part of what keeps most viewers watching. And while I’m still not convinced »

Bates Motel Episode 109
“Underwater”
Written By: Carlton Cuse & Kerry Ehrin
Directed By: Tucker Gates
Original Airdate: 12 May 2013
In This Episode...
Norma is on edge after discovering Shelby’s corpse. It doesn’t help any that a black car - just like Jake’s - has sloooooowly been driving by the motel, and she received a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a card that simply read “See you soon....” The sheriff’s department is less than concerned, which aggravates Norma further. When she discovers Dylan’s hippie stoners smoking pot on the motel patio, she loses it on them, then announces to Dylan and Norman that they are moving. She marches into her realtor’s office and demands that he put the property back on the market or she will sue. Next she goes home and starts researching “the safest places to live.” Oahu catches her eye.
Norman does not want to move. »

What Would Psycho's Bates Motel Cost Today?
13 May 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
With the resurgence of Psycho's popularity thanks to the success of A&E's "Bates Motel," real estate blog Movoto thought it would be fun to figure how much the iconic motel would be worth today. We have that info right here, bloodstains and taxidermied animals not included.
Along with the valuation, we also got our hands on a still from tonight's Episode 1.09, "Underwater." Check it out below.
Although the traditional school of thought is that the top three influences on a property's value are location, location, location, in this instance they are location, number of rooms, and comparable hotel rates. After a thorough investigation (which you can read about in detail by hitting the Movoto link at the bottom of the page), their best guess is that the original Bates Motel from the Alfred Hitchcock movie would cost evil investors about $804,000 if it were placed on the market today in Blythe, »

It's been one wild ride thus far on season one of A&E's Bates Motel, but it seems the next two episodes are going to throw us all for more than a few surprise loops.
The successful freshman series, already renewed by the network, was featured at a screening and Q&A that was moderated by Shawn Ryan (creator of The Shield and Terriers), who told me during the red carpet that he's a big fan of the series.
In the following exclusive interview, cast members Vera Farmiga, Freddie Highmore, Nestor Carbonell, Max Thieriot and Nicola Peltz - as well as Executive Producers Carlton Cuse and Kerry Ehrin - stopped to chat with me about what to expect in the concluding hours, while also offering about how we may meet more Bates family members in the second season...

Carlton Cuse At ‘Bates Motel’ Panel: “We Pretty Much Ripped Off ‘Twin Peaks’”
10 May 2013 10:25 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Diane Haithman is a Deadline contributor. During a Bates Motel panel discussion Friday, Carlton Cuse was blunt about borrowing from a classic. No, not Hitchcock’s Psycho; TV’s Twin Peaks. “We pretty much ripped off Twin Peaks,” joked Cuse, co-executive produces the A&E series with Kerry Ehrin, in response to a question about the similarities from panel moderator Shawn Ryan. “If you wanted to get that confession, the answer is yes. I loved that show. They only did 30 episodes. Kerry and I thought we’d do the 70 that are missing.” Cuse appeared on the Paley Center panel “Inside Bates Motel: Reimagining A Cinema Icon” with Ehrin, Vera Farmiga (who portrays Norma Bates), Freddie Highmore (Norman), Max Thieriot (Norman’s half-brother Dylan), Nicola Peltz (popular teen Bradley Martin) and Nestor Carbonell (Sheriff Alex Romero).

It's that time of year again when we take a moment to honor our moms. And how great they are, right? Well, here at Dread Central we can turn even the most loving moms into something horrific, and in celebration of Mother's Day, we bring you Horror's 11 Most Memorable Moms!
Read on… and eat your vegetables for chrissake!
Okay, so not all the moms on this list are psychotic killers; some are heroes, and some fall somewhere in between. But they're all great for their own reasons. As usual, we'll start out with some honorable mentions, and we certainly have some remarkable moms to speak about. We'll start with Estelle Collingwood (played by Cynthia Carr) in the original Last House on the Left. Only a mother's love could drive a person to bite a guy's Johnson off as an act of revenge! Another great justice-seeking mother was Kate (played by Vera Farmiga) in Orphan. »

Bates Motel episode 8 review: A Boy And His Dog
8 May 2013 3:34 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Review Michael Noble 8 May 2013 - 10:00
Norman discovers a new hobby in this week's Bates Motel, the art of taxidermy. Here's Michael's review of A Boy and his Dog...
This review contains spoilers.
Taxidermy. A bizarre art, but rather useful in its own way. It’s nice that Norman has found a hobby that can occupy his time, but there’s a grim destination for his new skill. As we saw man’s best friend, guts pulled out on Mr Decody’s table, it’s difficult not to see the potential for the same treatment of a boy’s best friend. If this show is intent on dovetailing with the 1960 movie, then there’s likely to be some rather hideous taxidermy taking place sometime in the future. At least Norman will have time to learn how to do it properly.
