For decades this movie has been watched almost religiously by many and those people even consider to be the best Christmas movie ever made.

Her mother’s super religious, all the men around her […]

One of the funniest and underrated comedians of the 1980s/90s was Jim Varney, better known as his iconic character Ernest P. Worrel. One of his movies was the 1991 comedy-horror Ernest Scared Stupid.

Trantor promised to not only return but […]

My dear readers, I have spoken about Goosebumps extensively in this blog and even reviewed the first movie. What I haven’t done, however, is to review any of the actual books.
