If you are anything like me, then todays crop of horror films just don't pack enough of a wallop to stop you in your tracks. Once in a great while we are given the proverbial bone with films like The Descent, The Strangers, Session 9 (see REtroVIEWS under the Reviews tab) and, even to an extent, the remake of The Hills Have Eyes.

So during the movie I'm going along for the ride when suddenly right as the scene changes there's a quick flash of red dots on the screen right where I'm looking at. It takes ...
So my birthday was last Saturday and I celebrated a day early by traveling to our fair capital: Lincoln, NE. I met up with my good friend Jason (jaybone on here) and we caught the late afternoon matinee of "Zombieland" and later that night to truly ring in my birthday we saw the midnight screening of "Paranormal Activity".
