Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia gives us a true puppetmistress in the form of Boraqchin in Ep. 11 "An Ungraceful Stone". This episode has shown her to be a master planner and manipulator, making her quite the political genius. However, this episode also reveals that the people she's puppeting don't
Have you ever considered the similarities between the landmark 1978 slasher Halloween and 1982’s First Blood? In both films, a man of few words arrives in a small town that treats him like the bogeyman, and when circumstances escalate to the point of murder, a specialist who’s highly familiar
