Jefferson Davis Hospital, Hollywood Comes To Life (After Death)

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. This is one such case. This is a story, (or maybe not), of a historical landmark here in my hometown of Houston, TX. I have been fascinated with the place since my teenage years. I’ve spent countless hours on the internet researching it, and even more hours crawling […]

Chassity’s Best/Worst of 2013

Worst Movies of 2013 Mama: Scary Movie 5 didn’t need to parody this film. It was a joke on its own. The Purge: I hate it when a trailer introduces me to a film with a very promising concept, but the actual film never really delivers. I was totally let down by this one.  Curse […]

A Clearing in the Forrest (Twin Dark Musing around the same theme)

Cult and I have decided to release his newest musing in the original form, (Thorns) as well as the overly edited, (Vengeance) to […]

Lisa C. Fremont’s Best/Worst of 2013

I felt very overwhelmed by picking and choosing for these lists. I will try to keep “my reasons why” short and sweet. Best Movies of 2013: Maniac: Elijah is perfection and the P.O.V. was extremely effective. It looked amazing, the soundtrack is amazing and Elijah played a very sympathetic wackadoo. I would marry this movie, […]
