Fun Film Friday: Do You Want to Kill the Batman?

INSIDIOUS Has Arrived!
Look what appeared on my doorstep! Big, beautiful boxes full of INSIDIOUS! (which sounds pretty weird if you take it out of context) I am sitting here dazzled by all the shiny, gorgeous cover art nigh sparkling in the sunlight, the slightly-raised edge of the lotus flower standing out against the galactic backdrop of swirly […]
