I hate bad horror movies, more than anything. Horror being my favorite genre never blended well with my disposition for film snobbery. Boring plots and overzealous violence only satisfy a small percentage of the genre faithful (no disrespect). So when I started hearing word that Barbarian was actually good, with shades of…
Upon venturing into what would become “my college years,” I was informed, on more than one occasion, that this was the place where I would learn how to think. That statement was always juxtaposed to the world I had known before; one filled with standardized tests and desperate grade-grabbing. High school was where we…
