Triangle (2009) – One of the better “rubber reality” mind-bender movies I’ve seen. When a bunch of friends and acquaintances on a sailboat encounter a freak electrical storm, they’re left adrift until they run across a cruise ship — one that seems antique and empty. But is it? When time starts looping on itself and…
Halloween Movie Marathon!
Long-time readers know about our family tradition: On the Friday before Halloween, I start throwing monster movies in the like onto the screen in front of the kids, and I don’t stop until we all give up and go to bed.
