Review of 'The Haunted'
From Danielle Vega, YA's answer to Stephen King, comes a new paranormal novel about dark family secrets, deep-seated vengeance, and the horrifying truth that evil often lurks in the unlikeliest of places. Clean slate. That's what Hendricks Becker-O'Malley's parents said when they moved their family to the tiny town of Drearfield, New York. Hendricks wants to lay low and forget her dark, traumatic past. Forget him. But things don't go as planned. Hendricks learns from new friends at school that Steele House--the fixer upper her parents are so excited about--is notorious in town. Local legend says it's haunted. But Hendricks isn't sure if it's the demons of her past haunting her ...or of the present. Voices whisper in her ear as she lays in bed. Doors lock on their own. And, then, one night, things take a violent turn. With help from the mysterious boy next door, Hendricks makes it her mission to take down the ghosts . . . if they don't take her first.

All Quiet On The Western Front Movie Review
Of the many anti-war films, All Quiet On The Western Front from 1930 is perhaps the biggest pioneer. For the time, it was a staggering look at what was the most destructive conflict ever fought. Nearly a century later and a modern update has arrived from Germany. While it does nail the big picture, I wasn’t fully invested in this remake.

House of the Dragon v Rings of Power
With House of the Dragon and Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power being released and concluded around the same time fans can’t help but compare the two, at least a little. Though the two share the same overarching genre, their subgenres are different. House of the Dragon is medieval fantasy whereas Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power is high fantasy. Now to be clear House of the Dragon, and Game of Thrones simply would not exist without Lord of the Rings and Tolkien. Let's not pretend that George R.R. Martin came up with original thoughts, he simply rearranged the furniture Tolkien built.

My Review of "The Curse of Bridge Hollow"
The Curse of Bridge Hollow is Netflix's latest family Halloween movie of 2022. It's timing couldn't have been better as everyone is starving for Halloween content lately. This is a great ensemble cast for what it's trying to do. Though it might not blow your minds it is still a fairly competent movie.

Kara Sevda
This is one Turkish drama series you don't want to miss. It's such magnificent, masterful storytelling. Great, great, great all the way. Kara Sevda (Endless Love) boasts a compelling storyline, an excellent cast, lovely sights and sounds, twists, turns, and everything ingredient you need for a powerful drama. The series tackled several real issues which made it so much more of a life drama. Love, Hate, Betrayal, Family Loyalty, Friendship and Brotherhood, Blackmail, Treachery, Lies and Deceit, Emotional and Psychological abuse, Possessiveness and Narcissism, Power Drunkenness, Corruption, Money, and Abuse of Power are just a wee tip of the many issues thrown up by this series. You have to watch it to understand.

Review of 'Dead Voices'
Having survived sinister scarecrows and the malevolent smiling man in Small Spaces, newly minted best friends Ollie, Coco, and Brian are ready to spend a relaxing winter break skiing together with their parents at Mount Hemlock Resort. But when a snowstorm sets in, causing the power to flicker out and the cold to creep closer and closer, the three are forced to settle for hot chocolate and board games by the fire. Ollie, Coco, and Brian are determined to make the best of being snowed in, but odd things keep happening. Coco is convinced she has seen a ghost, and Ollie is having nightmares about frostbitten girls pleading for help. Then Mr. Voland, a mysterious ghost hunter, arrives in the midst of the storm to investigate the hauntings at Hemlock Lodge. Ollie, Coco, and Brian want to trust him, but Ollie's watch, which once saved them from the smiling man, has a new cautionary message: BEWARE. With Mr. Voland's help, Ollie, Coco, and Brian reach out to the dead voices at Mount Hemlock. Maybe the ghosts need their help—or maybe not all ghosts can or should be trusted.
