Music Video of the Month: That Man by Caro Emerald

Image
Dear Visitor, It still pains me that AGENT CARTER only had two seasons. If feminists wanted a show about a strong independent woman, they could look no farther than Agent Peggy Carter. Anyway, this fan video plays to THAT MAN by CARO EMERALD. I've never heard of Caro Emerald before but I'm so happy that I found her. I might throw in some future Music Video of the Month posts with her in it. I hope you enjoy! With Love, M.G.

Horror Fridays: GET OUT

Image
Dear Visitor, I finally got a chance to watch this. I really wanted to watch it in theaters but I don't like going to the theater alone and no one would go with me. GET OUT has been such a hot topic the last year. White People hated and Black People cheered and the rest of us were left in shock. One thing that I didn't understand about certain people's perspectives is that they considered this a Dark Comedy....I don't understand what's so hilarious about kidnapping black people and stealing their bodies like it's Invasion of the Body Snatchers. In my mind, this is a straight up horror. GET OUT starts with Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and his girlfriend Rose (Allison Williams) are preparing to visit her parents. This is a big step in their relationship since She comes from a white upper-class family and despite Rod's warnings, the couple are on their way. What follows is strange behaviors surrounding Rose's parents, brother, and the neigh

Dear Visitors, Can we just give all the awards to Martin Freeman? Please? Pretty Please? Also please be advised of SPOILERS. I'll try to keep it at a minimum but here's your SPOILER WARNING! CARGO centers around Andy and his desperate journey to find a safe haven for his daughter, Rosie, in an Australian wilderness that is filled with zombie-like infected people and survivors who distrust EVERYONE. The worst part is that Andy only has 48 hours to find a home for Rosie. That's how long an infected person has before they turn into zombies! The only thing that made this movie bearable was Martin Freeman's performance. I always thought that he was a brilliant actor. He was believable as a father in a crazy circumstance and it was refreshing to see this father figure act like a protector and provider. There is a scene where Andy (Martin Freeman) and his wife Kay (Susan Porter) have an argument about what to do. They're currently living on a houseboat that

Horror Fridays: The Terror

Image
Dear Visitors, This has to be one of the best series I've seen in a while. Thank you, AMC! This show s based off of a book that was based off of true events...if that makes sense. The Franklin Expedition is a real historical event where two ships were sent out to discover a new route through the Arctic. The ships and their crew were never seen again. So what happened to them? In Dan Simmons wrote a historical fiction book about the event with a supernatural twist. I haven't read the book yet but it's my list and now that the semester is FINALLY over, I can enjoy myself! Back to the show, what makes it so scary and intense is the vastness of the unknown. They're in the middle of nowhere with supplies running low, no way to contact help, their ships stuck in the ice, scurvy, paranoia, and some mysterious monster slowly hunting them down one by one. That acting, of course, is lead by Jared Harris, Tobias Menzies, and Ciaran Hinds and this cast makes the show

I'm Alive!!

Dear Visitors, My sincerest apologies to the lack of posts! I thought I had a handle on this semester like I did the previous. However, it turns out that this semester nearly killed me. The projects and big papers just magically piled on top of each other. I still have a week to go before summer break, but I thought I'd at least let you know that I'm still alive and kicking.....barely. Please be patient with me. I haven't stopped binging horror movies/shows while I was away. So I have plenty I want to talk about. I'll see you soon! ~M.G.
