Burnt Offerings (1976) So bad it’s almost good, Burnt Offerings stars Oliver Reed, Karen Black, Bette Davis, and Burgess Meredith. Plus, there’s a creepy limo driver, some killer foliage, lots of frightful screaming, and an atmospheric Gothic house.

That I’m Not Manly I think that generally the population doesn’t know how to react when I say I’m a stay at home dad. Between meeting fellow parents or my wife’s coworkers, everyone says something generic like “Oh, that’s nice.” On top of that awkwardness other men then try to see how “manly” you really are.

The thought of car seat failure should scare the crap out of you. In the end, your ability to safely install the seat and strap your kid incorrectly is often what stands between “that was a close one” and “how do we go on from here?” Of course, there are the obvious car seat mistakes that you’re not going to make (like poor seat and strap positioning, or deciding not to use it because you’re just going a couple blocks)....

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Looks Like Another Win for LEGO It’s easy to forget now, but when LEGO first announced its plans to make a full-length movie, most people shrugged it off as a misguided failure waiting to happen. But two movies and millions and millions of dollars later, the toy brand has a bonafide blockbuster franchise on its hands. And The LEGO Ninjago Movie, their latest effort based on the toy spinoff of the same name, looks to be another fantastic effort....
