Ronda Rousey : The Fallen Idol

Image
  Sometimes we have to admire our idols, but not worship them, because when they fall or disappoint us, it's too hard to keep them up on the pedestal we put on them.  Ronda " Rowdy" Rousey! Who took the Nickname as a tribute to the late "Rowdy" Roddey  Piper. She was considered the best fighter of all time.       Ronda's rise to the top of the UFC should be looked at with amazement. Something that is admired by other young female UFC fighters. From being an Olympic Judo Fighter to becoming the first female UFC fighter in the new division, to becoming the highest-paid fighter.  Having 4 of her matches was the main event of a UFC PPV ( UFC 175, 182,184, &190).  Their face-off at the the press conference at UFC 193, was the most talked-about moment.      She was in the same category as Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson, which some people have found skeptical as she was only good in UFC.

Victor Salva Sucks

Image
    Victor Salva is a director who even dedicated horror movie fans, historians, critics, and other directors have major conflicts with his work. All of his films have a hint of absence and disturbing lines, which a lot of viewers who don't know about his history, find weird, for those who do know about his backstory, is disgusting. His Jeepers Creepers movie series has been viewed from a mix of praise and excitement of his great entry into the horror world to revolting and disheartening, that Predator still manages to get a job and get off of a serious crime.  Nathan Forrest Winters Played Cassey and Brian McHugh as his brother Geoffrey in The Movie. They were also victims of Victor Salva's sexual assault and were part of the court trial.      The crime that he had done to a young child on the set of his 1987's horror film " Clownhouse" . This has made things even worse when he was only charged with obtaining CP materials ( You can fill in the blank)....

Cannibal Holocaust: Is it really That good?

Image
  This may be the Most Shocking statement coming from an Horror fan and a writer to say something like this. Here goes nothing... Cannibal Holocaust is overrated and it's not that good.  The main character has made it to the island to film a documentary about the "Cannibal" Tribe. They Asked what they were looking for. Too Bad they won't make it out.               Yes, I know it's very shocking about that statement, But hear me out as to why I said it. It's overrated and is on every horror movie lover's list, and it's been used for every horror film countdown, Critic choice, and others. It's almost like a drinking game every time a fan mentions this film. It might cause the viewer's liver damage.            But there are so many other great Cannibal Films that are just as good as this film. However, it seems like it's being overshadowed by this film. The film was only famous because of several thin...

The 90's Horror films finally getting their roses!

Image
  The 90s horror films have come a long way from the glorious 1980s horror days.       90s Horror films are slowly starting to get the flowers and praise, they so highly deserved. Between the highly recognizable 1980s, the unforgotten 70s, and the famous Atom 50s it sure took a long time for Film historians, Critics, and fans, to see the influences that some of the '90s horror films have on future filmmakers and writers of today.  From High School Vampire Slayer to Living Dead Zombie Telling Scary Stories, these were the shows that defined the 90s.      The movies that were once gone straight to Video Horror films have now been resurrected back to the big screen. Even though some low-budget horror films, have made it big on video and networks made tv movie horror films. ( Steven King's IT Series, The Shinning, and Rose Red).  Horror TV shows were still going strong with some anthropology horror shows that are well known.   Pennywise...
