Have you ever watched a bio pic? They usually do an excellent job of both motivating you to do something with your life, and also to make you feel for the character(s) which the story is based upon. It’s one of those great guilty pleasures of life which most people are okay with accepting as…
What a strange sight to see – When fantasy meets reality and dreams became something more tangible. We all have dreams. And while sometimes it can be quite therapeutic to take a break from the hard work of the world and think upon what could be. But what if you were living your dreams right now?…
I like to think I’ve seen my share of horror movies. Mainly because I’m a child of the 80’s and horror movies were in their heyday between the 1980s and 1990s, so just as I was growing up I got to know the major successes of the time and watch them in the comfort (read:…
