Checked out John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum. I actually thought the word parabellum was just a form of the word parabola… which seemed weird and made me think it would represent the flow of action in the film… like a … Continue reading
And, finally, watched the new Netflix horror flick The Silence. Which has nothing to do with A Quiet Place… honest! This is based on a book published in 2015… so odds are Quiet Place may have been inspired by the … Continue reading
