Day 27: A Movie That Makes You Puke
GHOST (1990) I figured that everyone else was going in the direction of gross-out and to be completely honest, I’ve never had a huge issue with gore. The only thing I used to have issues with was the disembowelment of… Continue reading

Day 21: The Movie With Your Favorite Death Scene

Day 19: A Movie Featuring Your Favorite Villain
SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991) I could have gone the easy route: Darth Vader. I could have gone the more obscure route too, and mention one that you haven’t thought about in years: Annie Wilkes in Misery. But the reason… Continue reading
