My Unpopular Opinion about "Them"
I have never watched a show that made me feel so many emotions at once. This story inspired me as an aspiring film writer. "THEM" showed me another side of America. The writers and producers of the show brought to light excruciating perspectives. I can honestly say this is one of my top favorites.

The Red Painting
It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. A picture of a vast forest, with blurred trees merging in lines, and in the back, the barely recognizable silhouette of a covered figure. An impressionist work of art, all painted in red.

A Night to Remember. Content Warning.
I remember her, that day so clearly imprinted. I remember the way her shadow danced under the street lights. The way her silhouette crept gracefully up each building she passed. She was beautiful. Is beautiful. Golden red hair and freckles that neatly collected upon her face. Emerald eyes that shone too brightly for this world . Perfect teeth, I wonder what she ate that night.. Ahh .. if only she knew who I was. If only she had known how much I had admired her beauty.

The Timekeeper. Content Warning.
Ah , yes the softness of his skull was my favorite sound. Nothing like the feel of someone new at my fingertips. He looked so innocent just sitting there. A statue greatly posed. So limply placed upon his throne. It had to be done. For every time he gazed at me with those eyes. A shiver sent up my spine. As to what I held to my surprise. His lifeless eyes bluster within my soul. Judgmental from the great beyond. I am sane , it's dreadfully so. But in life those eyes were never kind. It haunts me, I must hide him. Blood from every orifice fills his face. I must hide him soon before neighbors catch foul play. I need his hideous eyes to go away! Ah , but his beauty was here to stay. Where oh where must you go. Stuffed in the grandfather clock. Tick tock, the time flies by. I had only seconds left. I pushed his heavy body in the ticking tower. He will not stay, so stubborn I must say. I proceeded to tape it shut. All in time for a knock at my chamber door. Hurriedly placing a cloth on my prize. With a deep breath , I opened my door.

W-12
My head was spinning and my head drooped in terror. “Welcome Soldier.” I didn’t even know who he was talking to. I couldn’t even open my eyes because I was in such a state.

Open Mind: Chapter Twelve
“That sounds made up,” Adrianna scoffed. It was the first thing she had said to me all week, and it wasn’t even a conversation that she had been included in. I was speaking to Lily -- one of the girls who had taken a fondness to me since I landed myself in the Comfort Room. “I’ve known a lot of girls here, and not one of them said anything about no Open Mind treatment.”

What's in a Name? (Part 7)
“I should have made the coffee,” Alex said as Trevor placed a steaming mug in front of her. The diary was on the table next to where she sat. As her glance fell on it, she remembered her harrowing experience in the basement and shuddered.

Movie Review: 'Scavenger' is One of the Worst Movies Ever Made THAT'S NOT A REASON TO SEE IT
Scavenger is among the most ugly, nasty and genuinely unpleasant movies I’ve ever endured. I hate saying that, I know I should not open the review with that. I know that people who release a movie as ugly and vile as Scavenger love for critics to say how awful they are, they consider a negative review such as this as good publicity. I hate that fact but I can’t put this lightly or simply dismiss the revulsion I felt while watching Scavenger.

The Haunting of Hill House: Beautiful Horror Masterpiece, Tragic Family Drama, or Both?
Netflix’s latest limited series The Haunting of Hill House is a chilling fantasy tale about a family broken apart by the spirits of their childhood home, one of the most haunted houses in America. While there are certainly ghosts and ghouls walking the halls of the titular Hill House, the family’s eclectic cases of mental illness, psychological trauma, and isolation fuel these nightmares and help deliver an authentically human horror story. Though creator/director Mike Flanagan may not have a perfect track record, his most effective work in the horror/thriller genre includes includes 2013’s Oculus , 2016’s Hush , and, in his first partnership with Netflix, 2017’s Gerald’s Game.

The Cenotaph:
Let me begin at the beginning. A long time ago, I had a dream where I, as the invisible Dreamer/Protagonist, was in a museum in what I knew was modern South Africa. The museum was presided over by two young tour guides, male and female; both very blue-eyed, blonde; obviously of Dutch extraction. The foyer of the museum was very brightly lit, very white, with portraits hanging on the wall, red carpeting, a little lectern, or whatever for the male tour guide (who didn't look much older than eighteen) to stand at. I am not certain why I was supposed to be there, but I had the creeping, dawning realization that I was not allowed to leave Either the museum, South Africa, or this dream. But, regardless, the scene, in the way of dreams, shifted. Suddenly I seemed to be walking the cobbled streets of London; or, perhaps, some cobbled court, as I take it this was the modern world.
