Movie Reviews

When The Craft came out in theaters back in 1996, I made sure to see it opening weekend. It was everything I wanted – strong, confident young women with magical powers to acquire everything and anything they wanted, with a coven to provide the backbone and structure needed to brave …

We all deal with traumatic events in our lives in our own ways. Some keep it to themselves and never let anyone else know what happened. Some scream about it from the rooftops, and some just prefer to be left alone. Some write a song, or a movie or a …

I know many people who are insomniacs. I can only imagine how much that must suck. I enjoy sleeping any chance I get and rarely do I struggle doing so. However, sometimes I wish there was more time in the day as I’m always busy and trying to accomplish 100 …

Possessed vehicles and haunted vessels are nothing new in horror cinema.
