HOLLYWOOD—When the first “Paranormal Activity” arrived in theaters in 2009 I was a huge fan. It was unlike anything seen in the cinematic world, especially the horror genre. The found footage element had been utilized in 1999 with the “The Blair Witch Project.” Since the debut of the first “Paranormal” flick the series has spawned a total of five...

HOLLYWOOD—What can one say about “The Last Witch Hunter?” Well if you’re looking for a horror flick, this isn’t the one you should be choosing. In addition, the idea of hunting witches seems to be barely present in this movie. The action-flick, as I like to call it stars Vin Diesel as Kaulder, a witch-hunter who has been cursed with...

HOLLYWOOD—As a kid, I have to give loads of credit to my burgeoning reading skills to R.L. Stine and his highly popular series “Goosebumps.” I mean, I remember reading my first book at around the age of 9 or 10 while at the bookstore with my mom. In fact, the first book I read was “The Cuckoo Clock of...
