The Damned is a movie that proves my whole theory: being a fisherman in 18th century Iceland would suck. Maybe a little more than sitting through this drudgery of a movie, but the flick doesn’t have me tap-dancing across the … Continue reading
More classic films… many, many old horror movies from last spooky season. Too many, really (if there is such a thing). 1896 – The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat – a train arrives, 19th century people long dead … Continue reading
