Posted on March 8, 2020 by

This has to be TV’s most innocent of sitcoms. Leave it to Beaver defines the ‘golly gee’ wholesomeness of what we romanticize the 50’s and 60’s. Don’t get me wrong I like it very much. I get a kick out … Continue reading →

The 80’s was a fabulous decade of hair bands, plastic everything, day-glow colors, and the  best vampire movie ever called The Lost Boys–directed by Joel Schumacher. Schumacher is the director who totally nailed the teenage vampire genre. He blended horror, … Continue reading →

Good Omens (2019) Reviewed by Anita *****
