Cynthia– my take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: After finally getting pregnant, Robin's doctor find a lump next to the baby. That's no ordinary lump. It's Cynthia! There's something ridiculously humorous about Cynthia. It manages to portray the different shades of characters, the problems in a relationship, and the deformity issues, really well. And wrapped up in dark humor. You have Robin, desperate to have children to the point she misses out on the fact that her husband may be gay. The husband doesn't realize he may be gay until he sees his wife obsessed with becoming pregnant. Then there are the detectives who can't figure out who the serial killer of a quiet town like Shady Grove is. The doctors too are more interested in their golf games and hooking up than figuring out what is wrong with Robin. The scans show a lump next to the baby. Is it a cyst or a twin? Spoiler alert! It's Cynthia. CYNTHIA Movie Plot  The movie begins with a couple sitting on the porch, watching childr

Cam—My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Alice finds herself replaced by a replica of herself on her web show, she sets about to get her identity back. But the impostor isn't going to make things easy for Alice.  The internet just got creepier. With many movies focusing on the risks of being overly exposed on social media, here comes a movie with an even shocking theme, albeit a bit unexplained. Cam follows the life of Alice, a woman who indulges in salacious activities in front of a webcam to an audience of several men who tip her if she plays out their kinks. 

All That is Left— Author's Preface

At some point we all stop believing in fairy tales. It happens gradually, unexpectedly. Just one moment can crush any fanciful ambitions we harbor. I think it must be during the late teenage years. As kids we grow up on fairytale books. As we hit puberty, we become a bit cynical, perhaps more logical. Birds and animals are not going to do your bidding. No matter how many times you sing in the woods, animals are not going to come to hear it. Chances are, you may just alert a beast to come attack you. Slowly, we also discover that even though our parents have worked very hard to provide for our every need, they are not Kings and Queens. Unfortunately, you're not a prince or princess either. While this fact eliminates most stories, there is the tale of Cinderella who despite all odds, meets the prince, falls in love and gets married. That's how she becomes a princess. Sadly, that isn't very realistic either but we don't realize that until much later. Let's fac

Mara— My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Detective Kate is called in to investigate the murder, the wife of the victim claims it was a creature called Mara who was behind it.  The weird thing about horror writers (me included) is that we try to find a way to twist ordinary things into something that can give others the jitters. And sometimes, when horror writers run out of ideas, the easiest way to overcome that writer's block is to simply flip the things that other people consider as simple, good and pure.  After all, the antonym of good is evil. This is why there will always be little girls cast to play the possessed or evil. Or why dolls are made evil. Literally, everything we take for granted, can be twisted into something evil.  All that was left was the act of sleeping.

All That is Left excerpt

“I can’t get over what happened in high school. I can’t understand how you were able to. That incident refuses to leave my thoughts.” Shanaya narrowed her eyes. “What are you talking about?” she asked incredulously. “Of course I think about it every day, but I also know that it wasn’t my fault. I had nothing to do with what happened to her.” “It was our fault,” Aaron told her and dropped her hands. “If Misha hadn’t seen us together, she wouldn’t have walked away from the school. She would have waited for her father to pick her up, but she was so brokenhearted that she...she was kidnapped because of what we did to her.” Shanaya shook her head. “No, Aaron. You have to stop blaming yourself and me for that. We couldn’t have predicted that she would be taken.” “She was your best friend. Don’t you feel any remorse?” Aaron asked. Shanaya crossed her arms. “I did. But I didn’t have the foresight to see what was going to happen next. Neither did you, Aaron. I refuse
