Unless it's a spoof on horror movies / slasher film I'm usually out, but for some reason this one intrigued me. I think it's because of R.L.

Jessica Hecht (The Boys), Punam … Continue reading Special (S2 Review) | Sincerity and Realism in a Heartfelt Comedy

Going in I was like "I am not a horror fan, I get scared too easily and I have enough stress in my life" but I watched Things Heard and Seen because it was Amanda Seyfried (Les Misérables, Dear John); James Norton (Little Women, McMafia) helped too. Adapted and directed by Shari Springer Berman and … Continue reading Things Heard and Seen (Movie Review) | One Genre Masquerading as Another
