The Witch is messed up, like a good horror movie should be. The basic premise: the story takes place in early colonial America, before the Revolutionary War. The father of a family is kicked out of the settlement because of his extreme Puritan religious beliefs. He takes to the wilderness where he finds a plot of land and builds his own farm.
Unfortunately, the family’s farm isn’t far from a witch’s house. Before you know it, people start disappearing and weird things start happening. The movie is particularly unnerving because the family is very isolated. The father has over extended himself with the move and the family may potentially starve in the winter. Thomasen, the eldest daughter, struggles to keep the younger kids in line.
The movie and especially the ending, is based off of classic folklore regarding witches and I can’t say more than that without giving it away. I don’t get to see many horror movies because the Missus can’t take them, but I went the extra mile to see this one and I wasn’t disappointed. If you like horror, don’t miss The Witch, now on On-Demand.
Big thumbs up, bros!
Hey Bros!
Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die! Today’s contestant is Ryan North, creator of Dinosaur Comics. He’s not just a pretty webcomic face, let’s see what he’s tweeting.
May 16th: “There’s gonna be a Super Mega Comics collection! I muscled in to write the introduction:”
Nice! He probably beat up the other creator too. It’s half the reason we get into webcomics so we can beat up guys with lower hits. I’ve been beaten up by Pete at Sluggy Freelance dozens of times. But that’s the rule.
14 hours ago: “I had dinner with @michaelfirman and he made an art to commemorate the occasion!! Me and @jennipoos and Chompsky!”
Nice. As a writer, I always write a novel about the people I dine with. Needless to say, I don’t go out much.
13 hours ago: “- ryan north height – ryan north tallest man – ryan north hole – ryan north still handsome – ryan north best friend position open”
I’m going to say, six foot, no, somewhere in Alberta, possibly and aww that’s sad.
11 hours ago: “We’re doing a Romeo and/or Juliet sweeps! Pre-order the book, get RAD ART by GREAT ARTISTS http://www.romeoandorjuliet.com/post/144503324417/ryannorth-hey-my-lets-turn-shakespeare-into …”
Interesting. So will there be robotic sharks and zombies in this potential version?
11 hours ago: “this sounds so good and I want to read it RIGHT NOW https://twitter.com/EvilMarguerite/status/732629712279756801”
Maybe she should post it on the web.
8 hours ago: “Let’s play Romeo and/or Juliet! http://www.romeoandorjuliet.com/post/144500859542/boyparty … Today you can RT to chat up some dudes, or fav to ignore the friggin’ dudes”
The whole concept sounds fun. I think Shakespeare would’ve been proud and/or happy to sue you.
7 hours ago: “I want @JustinTrudeau to do a cameo in @Marvel‘s The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl when she visits Canada. Justin, DM me, let’s make this happen”
So many Marvel movies coming out. I hope she beats the f*ck out of Thor.
7 hours ago: “.@JustinTrudeau i know when you click my bio it mostly describes my butt, but i promise you i’m an actual comic book writer”
Every time I try to contact my country’s leader, I just get angry threats from the NSA.
2 hours ago: “We’ve decided to make the most beautiful kettle and give it the grossest name. Introducing: SMEGpic.twitter.com/UvYxfaVDcT”
Be careful, you may be sued by the producers of Red Dwarf.
Pinned Tweet: “*USB inventor tries 1st prototype* *doesn’t go in* *other way doesn’t work too* *tries the first way, works now* USB INVENTOR: this is fine”
That’s a good one to pin, bro!
Okay, let’s rate Ryan’s tweets. He’s a funny dude, no doubt. His account also has some behind-the-scenes, which I enjoy. I give Ryan an 8 for Style, a 9 for Insanity and a 10 for Mustness. That’s an overall score of 9. Follow Ryan and read his comics.
And if you have a suggestion for Twitter in Focus, email me here.
Restaurant: Donkey’s Place Too
Address: 11 Tomlinson Mill Rd, Medford, NJ 08055
Price: Reasonable
Portions: Big
Taste: Life Changing
Service: Solid
Atmosphere: Mildly Hipster
As a resident of South Jersey, I’ve heard about Donkey’s Place and his legendary cheesesteaks for years. Are the prophecies true? Dear God, yes!
So me and the Missus were bored and looking for a quick dinner. Since Anthony Bourdain visited the original Donkey’s Place in Camden, I had made a mental note to get out to the Medford store and check it out. Bourdain raved and raved about the steaks calling them better than the ones in Philly! Well, I already knew that secret, having been to the Yellow Submarine and various other awesome cheesesteaks in South Jersey (like Chick’s Deli). Still, what was the deal with Donkey’s Place? The bun with poppyseeds? The steak? The cheese? How good could it be?
Anyhow, we get there and from the Google Map pic, I knew it was small. I wasn’t sure there’d be enough room for us to sit there and we’re twenty minutes away. Fortunately, there were about a dozen or so seats. The hipster element was the chrome chairs and new furniture, Trivia Pursuit cards and Siracha for the fries. There was also bay seasoning and ketch for the fries as well, but I’m burying the lead—
The steak was phenomenal as advertised.
The must pour some kind of secret juice on it because it was just fantastic! I was a little worried I would have to order two, but no way! I was full with the one, even though it was a Kaiser roll with poppyseeds. I hate Cheese Whiz, so I ordered Provolone. Perfectly cooked with onions— It was just fantastic. You gotta have one these.
If I had the money, I would invest in Donkey’s Place. That’s how good it is. It should be franchised everywhere. I give it a 9 out of 10 keggers, only because the website’s not really working and no unsweetened iced tea. I will be back, however, for that amazing cheesesteak. Truly the best.
