Greta Gerwig’s directorial debut Is truly a spectacular one. Lady Bird is a masterpiece of simplicity. The simply story of a typical teenage girl trying to find who she is and what she wants. The love-hate relationship of Christine and her mother showcasing their struggle to demonstrate of perhaps understand their feelings added a much welcome layer of interesting plot on top of the typical struggles of an awkward high schooler.

If anything, I believe you can learn a few things from this film about forming and maintaining relationships with your parents or child(ren) in hope that when your time with them comes to a close you’ll have no regrets.

Classic Carpenter!

Director John Carpenter had a lot to live up to and deliver after his striking masterpiece Halloween. He decided to tell an old school ghost story about a coastal town in northern California which is cursed and subject to a mysterious "Fog" which rolls into town and carries ghoulies within its misty depths.

Not as well known or remembered as some other Carpenter works, The Fog still delivers some creepy scares and gruesome death scenes reminiscent of other Carpenter films.

Great cast of vintage horror icons like Janie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh and Adrienne Barbeau make the story more enjoyable and believable.

The film shows its age in parts, but is still an enjoyable horror classic.

Great maps

Unsettling fear and paranoia

An unsung masterpiece

This game is one of my absolute favorites. Its quiet, unsettling, and nerve-wracking. I like to describe it as a mixture between Battleship, Minesweeper, and The Thing. Humans are racing to outrun aliens on a shared map system. Random chance allows you to bluff or biff making noises as you try to escape. Can you fool the aliens into believing the fake sounds or will they track you down? Who is an alien anyway?! The addition of item cards and secret identities take the game to the next level. I love the malfunctioning escape pod too. This is a perfectly distilled minimalistic horror game and I AM HERE FOR IT.
