Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
If you see one film this month, you should definitely go and see: Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri.Without a shadow of a doubt, it is the best film I have seen in decades. It is horrifyingly brilliant!
Film buffs will salivate over the cinematography, the script, and the second-too-none acting. However, even if you aren’t a film buff, you will love this film because the plot is so refreshingly unpredictable. And finally, if, like me, you have been trying to wrap your head around how Mr Trump became The President of the USA, this film will give you some food for thought.

Horror Movies
What makes a great horror film?
The Halloween franchise has earned, worldwide, just under 367 million dollars. That’s a lot of money!!!!
Truth be told, I hate horror films because I always have nightmares and I have to sleep with the light on for about 2 weeks afterwards. This is not good for the environment or my electricity bill.
Are you a lover or a hater of this genre?
