I realize it has been two months since I published. That’s a shocking period of time to have passed so quickly. My local movie theater in Canton, NY has been letting me down on recent horror films. I wasn’t able to see The Purge in theaters, though I hope to catch it on DVD release, and…
In a summer of unwilling heroes and cynical detachment, Guillermo Del Toro’s Mechs vs. Monsters movie is a breath of fresh air, a shot of adrenaline, and a hi-five from your inner child all at once.

Then I re-read the synopsis and realized I’ve already seen it. So I resorted to my second choice, The Reef, because who doesn’t want to watch the ‘scariest…
