This past weekend, a student of [...]
Thanksgiving blog
Hello, dear readers! I’m thinking about what I’m thankful for this year, and the older I get, the more freedom is to me.

The Wraith Revisited
One of my favorite films of all time is a spooky supernatural revenge thriller centered around a cursed car. We discussed this film a few years back in one of our first blog posts, but I felt that it was high time we gave this excellent piece of ‘80s cinema a second look. In 1986, [...]
