• A modest proposal

  

  People of Hollywood: I humbly call for an industry-wide moratorium on so-called “supernatural thrillers.” In recent years, too many talented actors, including Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry and others, have fallen prey to the siren’s call of the genre. This week Hilary Swank, star of The Reaping, becomes its latest victim. I know that if we work together, we can put an end to this scourge that has tainted the careers of so many misguided souls.

  Check out our review of The Reaping.
