So, this isn’t about a birthday but rather…… Continue reading Extraordinary Tales (2013) – The ❝October Birthdayz❞ Blogathon

I haven’t been having nightmares from a movie in a long while, but Hereditary managed to sleep deprive me of about half of the night. I love Horror flicks, and I love the adrenaline involved and it only took a glimpse at Toni Collette’s face to convince me this film is IT for this Friday…… Continue reading Hereditary (2018)

Fantastic Mr. Fox tells the tale of an urbane fox that…… Continue reading Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

Happy 60th birthday to Michelle Pfeiffer! And thanks to Paul S. – a dedicated lover of Meg and Michelle – for a kind reminder. Here’s to Pfeiffer Blogathon! Michelle is Hollywood’s classic blonde bombshell that won me over with many of her eclectic roles – the very deranged Selina Kyle (Batman Returns), the very challenging Laura Alden…… Continue reading Pfeiffer Blogathon – Frankie and Johnny (1991)
Playlists of Psychopaths Movies have tricked us. They made us believe that Classical music and psychopaths are strongly intertwined, when in fact, it’s actually R&B and Hip Hop that scratch that psychotic itch. Perhaps I’m tapping this perplexing news piece a bit late – The Guardian and Independent already covered this on September 2017 -…… Continue reading Deeply Unsettling
