Scarina’s Weekly Roundup: 11/18/14

Back in the Good Old Days… The goal of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade must originally have been to scare all children because Moviepilot.com has a compilation of old photos and they’re just special. I definitely remember grandma and grandpa reminiscing about the happy days of demon dinosaur cats.   Bedtime Stories A new edition of […]

The Walking Dead S5E5, “Self Help”

I’m a week late with this.  Sorry.  I was out of town for work, and it just threw my whole schedule off.  Orlando was lovely, but I neglected my duties.  Sorry everyone. Let’s just go with Hates and Loves, yeah? Hates: 1. I still don’t understand the whole, “Glenn and Maggie have to go with […]

Hidden Gems: See No Evil 2

First off, let me start this by explaining why I feel that See No Evil 2 meets the qualifications for a Hidden Gems addition.

Sleepy Hollow S2E8: “Heartless”

You Gotta Have Heart But how do you really feel? This becomes the resounding question that episode 8 asks. After last week’s reunion of Katrina and Ichabod,  Sleepy Hollow tries to further create a real marriage relationship between Ichabod and Katrina, but it seems, well, hollow, despite the mellifluous,whispery voices. Passion? Nah. Perfunctory? Yep. Lest […]

Scarina’s Weekly Roundup: 11/10/14

The Worst Game of “Would You Rather…?” Ever So would you rather deal with one, giant, Shelob spider or over a million little spiders?  The Baltimore Wastewater Treatment Plant got to play this fun game when they put out a call for extreme spider help.  I guess the spiders were really into snowboarding and drinking […]

The Carnal Science Behind the Love of Fear

For myself and many of us here, this is our most favorite time of the year. I have always been drawn to the darker things. When I was a little kid my Grandpa used to call me “Spooky” because I loved to hear the same ghost stories over and over. Not much has changed, I […]

The Walking Dead S5E4, “Slabtown”

The first three episodes of this season sure were great, weren’t they?  They sure were.  Can’t have too many of those episodes in a row, can we?  Let’s get bogged down for an episode. I know everyone has been wondering where Beth has been, so I figured we’d get caught up with her at some […]
