  Title:  Grave Encounters 2 Genre: Horror, Found Footage Director: John Poliquin Writers: The Vicious Brothers IMDB Link:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2231554/ NO SPOILERS PLOT SYNOPSIS: (imdb.com) A film student who is obsessed with the movie Grave Encounters sets out with his friends to visit the psychiatric hospital depicted in the original film. We’re back! After seeing Grave Encounters, I just had to see if there were a Grave Encounters 2.  And, lo and behold, it was!  I quickly queued it up and sat back, prepared to be as scared as I was with the first one.

Music Monday – Top 5 Billy Joel Songs

There were five Police studio albums released between 1978 and 1983.  I know this because I owned them all.  For Music Monday, let’s take a trip down memory lane and name my favorite track from each of these studio albums. Outlando D’Amour was the first album released by The Police.  They “broke out” with the hit “Roxanne”.  I don’t need to go into the whole story now, everyone knows what the song is about.  However, while I did like Roxanne, my oh-so-favorite track from this album is “So Lonely”.   Reggatta de Blanc Released in 1979, the hot “hit” from this album was Message in a Bottle. While I do love Message in all its iterations (the acoustic version is especially stirring), here’s my go to from this album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz1mEMiNPHQ   Zenyatta Mondatta The song “Don’t Stand So Close to Me” hit the U.S. charts with a bang and spent
