The second and probably the most important. Lauren Graham is not in this film, she was currently working on the Gilmore Girls revival on the streaming giant, Netflix. And now on to the funny part of the film. Remember the guy t...

Opening sequence:  Halloween is just around the corner. So get your costumes, candy, everything that comes with the package, and get ready for the fun. The main reason for this is to explore the darkness a bit. What i mean by that is simple, little answer.

Barbour), Brain Lee Franklin (Davis Knight), Kerry Cahill (Mary/ Yeoman Farmer). Opening sequence: A major part of reviewing a film like this is getting the facts, historical scenes right. Why? Because this actually happened. The facts must be there, from the beginning of the film, it serves as it's core. Must have something to work with, because if the facts are twisted, then the movie will hurt in the box office. Films with so much facts make it to a four or five star mega hit, but in the case of this film, the box office was a different story.  Remember everything is all opinion, and t...
