by DarkSkyLady - June 18, 2021

Road trip stories have an opportunity to do so much. They can include a coming-of-age talelike Dutch or horror like The Hitcher. The pivotal ingredient is we need to care about the lead/s, not necessarily positively. We can, after all, watch a film hoping for a horrendous character’s demise. Either

by DarkSkyLady - May 12, 2021

A Black Lady Sketch Show Season 2 Review

A Black Lady Sketch Show season 1, when it aired in 2019 had peaks and valleys.

by Sara Clements - April 9, 2021

The phrase “Everyone can be a superhero” is a common one. And believable, too, until you watch movies. When I think of a superhero, I see someone hot or young and hot. Someone the media would label as desirable. It’s hard for me to think of a superhero who doesn’t

by Sara Clements - February 25, 2021
