'The Exorcist' Movie and 4K Review

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella. It’s crazy to me to know “The Exorcist” is now celebrating its 50th anniversary. Unfortunately, we lost its legendary director recently in William Friedkin, a trailblazer who was not afraid to push the envelope and do things his own way in films such as “Cruising,” “The French Connection,” and “To Live and Die in…

Learning languages

I love learning languages. It thrills me when I learn a new word or find out the meaning behind characters in different languages. I am bilingual in English and Chinese. Korean is my third language. Japanese and French are the languages that I learn during leisure time. Recently, I started learning Hebrew characters. Did you know that Hebrew is read from right to left? I just realised it when I…

It’s only scary when…

This guest topic from Sarah G is a total gimme. “Horror movies: best and worst tropes and themes; scary things as a mechanism of comfort.”

I LOVE HORROR MOVIES!
