The Witches (Movie Review) | A Quirky Dahl Dark Children Movie that Circumvents Child Labor Laws
Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Welcome to Marwen) is a writer-director-producer whose films have always caught my attention even if I haven't always rushed to see them.

Des (Miniseries Review) | A Chilling Story and Performance
I was browsing for something to watch, in fact I was planning to check out Monsterland's pilot episode to see if it is a series I could watch. But then I saw David Tennant (Good Omens, Jessica Jones) on the poster for this and forgot my plans.
