Southern Minnesota is pretty rural, farm country. Hurrying back to my car after breakfast, all I could think about was a pickup truck full of rednecks dragging me by a rope around my neck, attached to the back bumper, then shot and buried in a grave where no one would discover my carcass for 15 year... |

As a mixed race immigrant who's fairly traveled in America, I can tell you that I've had a bad experience in Minnesota. I was driving from Nashville to Seattle. I'd began my trip during my dinner break from Walmart at midnight. Around 6am, I pulled into a Minnesota truck stop on I-90 for breakfast. ... |

Keeping with my current fascination for Scandinavian and Korean noir, I recently saw the Korean film "A Day." Fairly violent, it has two men keep reliving a traumatic accident. (Think "Happy Death Day"). As in some Korean flicks, their annoying trope of over-dramatic acting with ... |

Wow. What a detailed - and harrowing - story. About eight years ago, when a counselor at a drug treatment center said I had PTSD, I looked at her like she was crazy. "I was never in the Armed Forces," I reminded her, but she went on to explain it had nothing to do with that and people outs... |

Loft (Belgium, 2008) - Excellent European crime thriller. More twists and turns than a rural highway. The film was remade in 2010 (The Netherlands) and 2014 (Hollywood). |

Pi. I'm not sure if this is an obscure film. Maybe a cult favorite, though. People describe it as the bastard child of Eraserhead and Tetsuo: The Iron Man. In a sense, that's about right, although Tetsuo is so highly kinetic it's like watching a movie on fast forward. |

Midsommar - Stay. Far. Away. Watch The Wickerman instead. All the lead actress did was cry and cry and cry and cry and cry through the whole f-ing film. VERY annoying. |

My $.02 Elle (French) - Kinda weak in terms of the story. Acting was okay. Forgotten (So. Korea) - Not bad. Couple of nice twists here and there. The Ghost Writer (British) with Pierce Brosnan and Ewan McGregor - Okay. If you see it, cool. If not, no biggie. The Guilty (Danish) - a film set mostly i... |

Take Shelter - Fairly decent acting, kinda slowish film. I was let down by the ending. |

Unlike my relatives, I never lost my West Indian accent when I came to the US, and I've been here for 46 years. I attribute that to poor assimilation with the "new world." If, all along, it was an autistic thing, that's news to me. |

I like slots m'self. Lost quite a lot of money at real casinos, though. Now I just play virtual slots on my computer and Android TV Box. Easier on the wallet. |

The fingernail scratching. The sudden loud bell would make me jump out of my skin and probably raise my blood pressure to dangerous levels. |
