After a raid gone terribly wrong, he is sent to Russia, as a punishment of sorts, for one last job. It turns out, however, that the 13th floor of the building he and [...]
Suspiria is the story of Suzy Bannion, an American student studying dance abroad. From the moment she arrives at the dance academy, she begins to sense that something isn’t quite right. There is, in deed, something amiss, but anyone who begins to suspect tomfoolery promptly disappears. Italian horror, for me, was an acquired taste. The first time that I saw Suspiria, [...]

I saw One Dark Night for the first time in High School and just recently rediscovered it on DVD. Meg Tilly stars as Julie, who is put up to the challenge of staying overnight in a mausoleum to gain admission to the coolest clique in school, The Sisters. (The Sisters may have been better suited with [...]

The Walnut Lake grocery store is closing its doors for good and someone is determined to see that the staff will not be seeking future employment.
