Welcome to the weekend, my pals! After per week of attractive sunshine-filled climate within the 40s, 50s, and 60s, we awakened this morning in a contemporary winter wonderland. Ohio by no means fails to shock me. As I write this, I’m watching the snow because it continues to fall outdoors. I’ll be headed to the fitness center in a few hours, however proper now, I’m grateful for a gradual begin to the day and the time to take pleasure in my sizzling espresso.

This isn’t the film for a peaceful, enjoyable night time at dwelling, however it’s a film that’s fully engrossing, chaotic, and memorable. You’ll both take pleasure in it or hate it. I don’t suppose that there’s a impartial floor right here.

It’s a darkish, grownup twist on a magical boarding faculty and an unwilling darkish sorceress who finds herself making an attempt to outlive there.
