del Toro’s latest masterpiece,
“Crimson Peak,” is a Victorian-era
horror film based in New York city
and rural England. The Victorian
fashion and stylization is over the top
and absolutely stunning. When Tom
Hiddleston, who stars as Sir Thomas
Sharpe, says that the cinematography
and imagery is gorgeous, he means
it. Even the run down Sharpe Manor
is oddly beautiful. The only flaw with
the film is that it wasn’t what the adds

ordered an intensely frightening

was a gory murder mystery with

Classic Halloween films:
The Halloween Franchise (1978-
2009) The “Halloween” Franchise is
a popular slasher/mystery cult classic.
It’s a perfect Halloween movie
because it follows the murder spree
of Michael Myers on the titled night.
The movies have remained popular
since 1978, despite their low scoring
on Rotten Tomatoes (the lowest score
is 6 %!).
Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Tim Burton, the king of macabre and
generally creepy things, created this
Halloween, not Christmas, classic.
The antics of Jack
Skellington and his lovable eerie
friends as they give “Sandy Claws” a
break on his holiday is revealed.
Rotten Tomatoes gave this 1993
stop motion film a strong 94% and the
general consensus from the website
was, “…a stunningly original and
visually delightful work of stop-motion
animation.”
Ode
to
Oh, how I love you, let me count the ways.
Actually I’m not going to because that sounds like a lot of
work. But I do love you. You’ve helped me stave off boredom
on numerous occasions, and you’re readily available almost
any time I need you... provided I have Wi-Fi, of course.
Otherwise you’re just making my data usage skyrocket,
and that gets expensive, and I have sandwiches to buy.
Without you, I would not have watched some of my
favorite shows, like “Breaking Bad,” “How I Met Your Mother,”
and the beginning of “Tarzan” the other night.
Without you, when I wake up in the middle of the night
and can’t sleep I’d be forced to read a book or play 2048 or
something.
Without you, I’d have way less to occupy my time on
nights when I’ve made up an excuse for not being able to
hang out with people.
Netflix, you are magical and cheap and easy to use, and I
love you. If you raise your price, we’ll have some issues.
I’ve stood by your side for, like, two years or something,
and I think my dedication should be repaid by either giving
me six months for free, or you having “Game of Thrones” in
your database. I mean, what’s up with that? You can’t get
HBO shows? Why can’t you and HBO just be friends and get
along? It would make my life a lot easier, and it would help
me procrastinate more, which is never a bad thing.
When I’m not with you, I miss you, and I think about you
all the time. You don’t judge me for my ratty old sweats or
for not washing my hair for three days, and you don’t care if
I have bad breath. You let me eat popcorn and cookies, and
you never look at me disapprovingly. You know that I’m bad
at making decisions, which is obviously why you only give
me .04 seconds to choose if I want to watch another episode
of “The Office,” and if I haven’t clicked yes or no, you just
make me watch it anyway.
That’s true friendship, Netflix.
Please never change.
Unless you want to be cheaper. By Nathaniel Bowman
