So the latest Thursday new movie was one you’ve never heard of, yet I assure you is not direct to video. The Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse – a raunchy teen zombie comedy that, if it were JUST a … Continue reading
Went to see Goosebumps, the live action big screen adaptation of all of the 90s era Goosebumps novels (and tv show) by R.L. Stine. Having not read those books (or seen the show – though apparently it’s on Netflix), I … Continue reading
