The Exorcist
The Exorcist is the greatest film of all time. That’s just my unwavering personal opinion. You may not share it. That’s okay. Nobody’s perfect. If everyone could enjoy the perfect casting, superior direction, suspenseful writing, and chilling cinematography, we would never try anything new. Just look at how many times others have tried (and failed) to duplicate The Exorcist over time! I won’t even soil this review by mentioning the garbage Blumhouse put out. (But can you “believe” they want to make two sequels to that pile of cow dung? Wish I had that kind of money to burn!)

Brett Cooper
Even if your political beliefs take you left of center, you may have heard about Brett Cooper’s abrupt departure from The Daily Wire. For several weeks, it was a hot topic on Elon Musk’s X and many more social media platforms. While we still don’t have a concrete explanation for the separation, there are plenty of YouTube videos exploring the possible reasons Brett lost or gave up her position as the host of the organization’s The Comments Section.

Creepy Kids in Cinema

Before you commit to parenthood, take a look at the potential for disaster. These horror films demonstrate why the reality of parenthood doesn’t always match the expectations of first-time parents.

Living Off-Grid
Choosing to live off-grid involves getting energy from renewable and independent sources. While most people opt for solar panel systems, this technology still isn't efficient enough to meet long-term energy requirements. You'll need a large number of panels to collect enough energy to fuel a whole house 24 hours a day. You will also have to install a bay of batteries to store energy for nighttime use.

The Valley of Headless Men
Each of us has our own daily grind that tends to become repetitive, monotonous, and uninteresting. This is largely because there isn’t anything new in cities and towns that we have explored more times than we might care to count. Yet, there are still places in the world that remain wild, unexplored, and primal. One such place is The Valley of Headless Men, known formally as The Nahanni National Park Reserve.
