Sarah Connor and Boromir Get the Black Death!
Sometimes the strangest things come from pairing things that maybe shouldn’t be paired. Who would’ve thought that peanut butter and chocolate could work well together? One is part of America’s favorite sandwich and the other is dessert.

I am now officially convinced that I am some kind of avatar from the future or some such…because frankly, what I say just inevitably seems to happen.
I think most of us have seen Cloverfield by now, and it was a pretty wild ride. Landmarks getting blasted, ticks the size of suitcases bounding around, plenty of gunplay…everything you could want in a good action movie with a science fiction bent. But what a lot of us didn’t expect was the down side of Cloverfield, with its simulated hand-held camera work.
Some days it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed, I tell you. Because some days, things happen that force you to question your place in the universe, your entire way of life, even your very sanity.
In a truly rare turn of events that already has me somewhat on the edge of my seat, it’s been rumored that the one and only John Carpenter will be making his way back to theaters. He’ll be bringing with him the movie
