Review: Parker Girls Vol 1 – Dead Quiet

Terry Moore continues the story of former Parker Girl Katina Choovanski (Katchoo, if you know what’s good for you) with a brand new series that has quite a bit of intrigue and more than the usual amount of murder. The book (collecting issues 1-5 from the series) pulled me in from the first page, with

Review – Women Talking

I feel really bad giving this film a negative review on International Working Women’s Day, but I can’t pretend this film worked for me. I haven’t read the novel this film is based on, and I

It’s going to sound like I’m giving away major spoilers with the description, but I’ll let the
