‘Booksmart’ Movie Review: A Fun Coming-of-Age Comedy
Wilde’s coming-of-age comedy directorial debut is simultaneously hilarious and entertaining, and remarkably heartfelt and relatable.
Bed Time Ghost Tales (2009)
Things get under way with "The Haunted House," a dark tale of a murderous suitor with a penchant for killing pretty young girls. The second story details the frightening events that unfold when a young innocent named Sarah ventures into the bone yard to recover a walking stick. Caught under the spell of a creature too horrible for words, she is helpless to resist its diabolical charms. The third story, entitled "Little Billy's Bones," finds the son of a woodcutter falling prey to his murderous new stepmother, and things wind to a close in "White Wolf," in which a small town butcher makes a mint ridding the streets of wild wolves.
