Worse things are happening in Texas
So this is one of the classics. Sally (Marilyn Burns) and Franklin Hardesty (Paul A. Partain) are traveling to check on their grandfather’s grave along with a group of friends. Along the way, they meet no end to trouble. First, they end up picking up a hitchhiker (Edwin Neal), because that’s always a good idea. …
What's the tale?
They though they could say bye, bye birdie. They thought wrong. The Nightingale follows Clare (Aisling Franciosi), an Irish convict in a penal colony where she works at a bar singing for and serving British soldiers.

He’s right behind you.
No, seriously, turn around and see for yourself. Once again, I have no official gender and horror movie for today, because right now we’re in the middle of spring break.

A good reboot that nobody wanted.
A great thing about the internet is movies being released online before they’re out on DVD. Happy International Women’s Day! To celebrate, I’ve decided to look at a film that was made by and stars a cast of mostly women. Charlie’s Angels (2019), written, directed, and starring Elizabeth Banks.
The joys of motherhood II: having a teenager
Plus some other stuff about religion and gender. Actress Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn) has a problem. Several strange things happening around her young daughter Regan (Linda Blair), such as her daughter’s new behavior. As if she’s been possessed by a demon. Because a demon has possessed her, I hope I’m not spoiling that for anyone.

Though if you want a real horror story, you should asky my mom how I was born. “You look great. It’s that haircut that looks awful. You want the truth, honey, that’s the worst mistake you’ve ever made.” No Guy (John Cassavetes), the worst mistake Rosemary (Mia Farrow) ever made was marrying you. On the …
