DVD Review: Fragile: A Ghost Story

I think labeling this as a horror film is really doing it a disservice. It’s more of a psychological drama, really [as I’m noticing tends to be the theme among Spanish horror films (the writer/director and most of the production staff are Spanish) – Korean and Japanese horror films are known for their hair-raising, blood-chilling ghost stories, and Spanish horror films tend to be more about the characters – about the people and the emotion and the story to be told by the characters, superimposed over some moments of terror]. And at that, it excels.

Movie Review: Gravity

Dragon Con 2012 Post-Mortem: A Newbie’s Experience

And that’s really what the convention was about for me. Yes, my experience was wholly atypical, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Because, for me, Dragon Con was about the people. It was about sharing the experience, sharing the passion for a story and the love of a character (or twelve). In the course of four days, I made amazing friends, got to listen to talented people share their passions and experiences and insights into their jobs, and created memories I’ll treasure for years to come.

Following Dan Harmon’s shocking exit from Community following the end of Season Three, fans were pretty sure that their favorite Community College would be closing up shop.
