After the horror show that was 2020, I feel that we should start the New Year) with something lighthearted and fun.  And you can't get any more fun while remaining in the "horror" genre than with that ooky, kooky, spooky family... The Addams Family ! Fester Addams has been missing for 25 years after a falling out with his brother Gomez.  During their annual seance to try and contact Fester, a mysterious figure arrives at the door... a figure who claims to be the long lost brother.

The characters were well crafted and presented as well.  Each of them got a bit of the spotlight to get some development throughout the story.  Their interactions, and th...

I think I'm safe in saying that pretty much EVERYONE, at one point or another has seen Disney's animated version of " The Legend of Sleepy Hollow ".  Well, if you're looking for a review of it today, you'd be wrong.  Today, I'm going to cover Tim Burton's reimagining of the classic tale... New York City police constable, Ichabod Crane is assigned a mysterious murder case in the small hamlet of Sleepy Hollow.  Upon arrival, he is informed by the local dignitaries that the deaths are the work of the Headless Horseman... who is possibly taking the heads to replace his missing head.  While investigating, Ichabod becomes involved in the intrigue and mystery surrounding the Headless Horseman... a mystery that may just involve the woman he's attracted to... Going into this review, I'm going to be very honest and plain about a few facts: I've always enjoyed Tim Burton's films; I've always enjoyed Johnny Depp's work; I've alw...
