Like Dolce Bellezza, I’ve had a little trouble finishing books lately. I’m actually reading three very good ones, but I have the attention span of a gnat these days. Maybe it’s spring fever. Even movies have been unable to capture my undivided attention. A few here and there, but last night, one had me from…

Unprofessional Snarky B-Movie Review-No Bimbos!
I’m watching The Descent. Right now. Seriously. (BTW, I have a short, horror story that won a first place award by the same name.) Okay, I’m about halfway into the movie and I’m pretty freaked out.

Unprofessional Snarky Movie Reviews
My sister came over with five scary movies. Unfortunately, we only had time for two. I picked the two she had not seen. I was hoping we’d have time for American Haunting (she saw that one) as a third, but it’s a school night and the kiddies can only stay up so long despite the…
