Despite my inexplicable love for horror movies, now that this Halloween season has ended I may just be inclined to give them a break for a couple of weeks. This should provide me with the opportunity to write a deeper and more cohesive review than that of a low-budget violent thriller. This week’s swing-and-a-miss was…
Hey, everybody. James here. Sarah’s currently doing stuff (Traveling? Dead?), so there’s no SciFriday this week.
