As the parent insinuated, the plot could easily pass for horror, but the movie never takes itself seriously enough to really enter that territory. That said, if you enjoy wry, laconic humor, this is the one.

I moved from the DC area to the NYC metro in 2009 and realized I had to choose either the Mets or Yankees to have a realistic way of following the games. I casually watched a few of each team's games, but the core four easily won me over that year, and I've been a big fan since then.
Currently, I'm anxiously awaiting Judge's return, as the team appears to be barely treading water at this point, although there have been some impressive performances recently from guys like Bader and German, and Volpe is starting to look like he may live up to the multi-year hype.

I always feel great all morning on the days I go to class.
I recommend it to anyone that's interested. There are various ages participating, all the way up to some in their 50s.
Sparring is a fundamental aspect of training, but the culture is to accommodate the level of your opponent, so it rarely feels helpless, even against the top level practitioners.

However, my son recently became interested in their music (following a somewhat bizarre route through the music landscape that began with a school performance of the Beatles), and inspired me to revisit some of their previous work.
So now, in the year 2023, I am enjoying "Kill em All", "Ride the Lightning", and wondering why I never really checked these albums out years ago!
Interesting, I hadn't heard of this.
I spent enough time in the original game that would be sufficient to finish most RPGs of that era, but never completed (or even came close to completing)the main storyline, due to the vast number of intricate side quests. Some of my fondest gaming memories!
