Stephen King might be known as the master of horror with hits like It, Pet Sematary, and Misery all keeping us up at night, but he’s also known to deliver some solid laughs in many of his books, and not just the non-horror works like the novellas Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption or The Body.

Harry Potter is the best YA fantasy has to offer. Much of its fantastic elements are reinforced by the very lack of Muggle science and technology, particularly on the grounds of Hogwarts School itself. Hermione tells Harry that Rita Skeeter cannot “bug” Hogwarts, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, because muggle technology doesn’t work at the school. But while the books make clear what is not possible in the Wizarding World, they don’t explore what magic might be possible in the Muggle World....

Since it’s technically centered on Ted’s grand quest to meet the woman of his dreams, there’s bound to be some heartache mixed in with the goofiness the show provides....

Hollywood is a small town and fame is a bubble. While Tinseltown is an enticing dream factory that regularly churns out most of our favorite flicks and television shows, it’s also a heartless machine, regularly sowing discontent amongst its inhabitants and/or semi-permanent visitors alike. Roger Sterling once had something cutting and characteristically witty to say about the advertising industry: “Half the time this business comes down to, ‘I don’t like that guy....

A Quiet Place was one of the most popular movies of 2018. Yes, having it be written and directed by Jim Halpert certainly helped, but it was also carried by its legitimacy. It was actually a pretty good movie, and while some internet “sleuths” like to poke holes in its plot, most people simply ignored its problems and went along for the ride. It ended up grossing $340 million at the box office, and if there’s one thing this decade has taught us, it’s that we can’t just let a good movie lie!...
