The garish, thematic costumes, the creepy setting and the macabre stage decor brought the mood to ghoulish perfection, and so did three couples! Laurie Hernandez & Val Chmerkovskiy, Calvin Johnson & Lindsey Arnold and James Hinchcliffe and Jenna Johnson ( filling in for Sharna Burgess who injured herself last week) all nailed their monster-iffic dances, earning them perfect scores.

LIGHTS OUT – While this is billed as an indie horror flick, Warner Bros is the distributor so it can’t be that much of an independent production. That said, LIGHTS OUT is a really good horror flick. Based on a short video that went viral in 2013, LIGHTS OUT follows the story of Sophie (Maria Bello) that is obsessed with her imaginary friend Diana. So much so, she has alienated her kids and friends. It turns out that Sophie has been having a relationship with Diana for quite a while but Diana may not be imaginary at all but a […]Read On »

ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS | © 2016 Disney Home Video

  Movies: ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS – The sequel to Disney’s original ALICE live action movie is an interesting take on the myth of the classic tale. While it received so-so reviews from critics and fans were a bit disinterested in the whole film (read: it flopped at the box office), it does a good job of bringing back the elements of the first movie that made it good with a strong cast (Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska and, of course, Johnny Depp) and an interesting story about Alice (Wasikowska) returning to Neverland and once again battling […]Read On »
