Movie Review – The Turning
—
I really wanted to like The Turning. There were so many great aspects I should have loved it, but no. It was okay at best. The stand-out feature of this movie was Finn Wolfhard. He was simply amazing. This kid can act. He shined in the movie It, and sparkled with a menacing force in…

Is the girl from A Quiet Place deaf in real life?
Is the girl from A Quiet Place deaf in real life? In a word, yes. The girl, aptly played by Millicent Simmonds, is deaf and speaks American Sign Language.

Movie Review – The Grudge
The Grudge didn’t impress me at all. It was a cool story but it was told all wrong. Before I get into everything I felt was wrong with it, my one compliment: there are chilling moments. A few times the hair on my neck stood up. It had potential. My biggest turn off was how…

Movie Review – Black Christmas
—
I was so excited to find out I was going to get to see Black Christmas on Friday the 13th! It’s always been a lucky day for me, until today. Today …that trend ended. I was so disappointed with Black Christmas. Let me first state that I have not seen the original. I didn’t…
