The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)

I’ve jumped into a whole new decade in 101 Horror Movies, and I’ve come across the first Hammer film on the list. Hammer is an iconic studio name for horror fans, churning out some classics, some not so classics, and always colorful posters that highlighted the terror of the monster, and the curves of the…

Late To The Party – Downton Abbey

  I’ll be the first to admit that I came to this show late. I’ll also admit that currently I am only two episodes into the first series. I do know that I’m going to fly through it pretty quick! As we know, or maybe we don’t, I love my British television. I had heard…

Bomb Girls: Episode 3 – How You Trust

Now that we know the characters we’ve been introduced to, and the world they live in, they can stat to introduce change, and this episode does that full-out for five of the show’s characters in big ways.
