Today I did something I’ve never done before: I saw a film at the theater all by myself. For weeks now ever since I saw the trailer for Trois Souvenirs de ma Jeunesse/My Golden Years, I’ve been dying to see it. But to my dismay, every time I wanted to go, everyone was busy. So,Continue reading “Trois Souvenirs de ma Jeunesse/My Golden Years”

‘The Raven’: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Posted to Arts & Entertainment by Megan Suddarth at 10:00 p.m., May 22, 2012 Being a lover of all things Edgar Allan Poe, I adored this movie. Each of his short stories that were used throughout the movie as murder scenes were incredibly accurate and eerily real. Seeing his writings come to life in such gory and horrific waysContinue reading “‘The Raven’: 4.5 out of 5 stars”

Caves Infected With White Nose Syndrome and Killer Human-bat Creatures

“The Lone Ranger” (2013)

I honestly cannot wait for this movie to come out.. For multiple reasons. 1) JOHNNY DEPP – Need I say more? Well, no, of course not. Johnny is pure genius, personified. He brings humor and genuine talent to every movie he’s in. Literally, no movie that he’s been in would be complete without him. EvenContinue reading ““The Lone Ranger” (2013)”

‘Paranormal Activity 3’ – 4 out of 5 stars

Posted to Arts & Entertainment by Megan Suddarth at 10:04 p.m., Oct. 24, 2011 Covenants, cults and curses: the third addition to the “Paranormal” series adds more background to the story of Katie and Kristi than you could have imagined, while also confusing the crap out of you. This pre-prequel is definitely the most whack out of the three.Continue reading “‘Paranormal Activity 3’ – 4 out of 5 stars”
