Lionsgate Home Entertainment sent me The Secret: Dare To Dream Blu-ray in late September. The film is loosely inspired by the self-help book and documentary The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, which I'm not too familiar with besides the law of attraction theme. Roadside Attractions and Gravitas Ventures were going to release the film to theaters in April 2019, but it got delayed due to the COVID-19 pademic. Instead it received a VOD release during the summer.

The making of a documentary is an exhilarating, enlightening experience. Digging deep into the truths of society and laying them out for the world to see can be intimidating; however, it has been done in controversial manners time and time again, so don't be afraid to jump right in and start exploring. Documentaries take a look at societal truths, lies, controversies, or hidden existences and share those findings with viewers. When it comes time to start making a documentary, it's important to know where to begin and what you'll need to consider.
It's another sleepless night, and with way too many thoughts in my head, here I am again writing a late at night rambling.
Recently, I realized that there way too many erotic romances out there. Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against these types of books. Over the years, I have read my share of steamy romances, so I understand the appeal. While browsing the small book section at my local Walmart, I noticed most of the romance titles were BDSM romances. And, no, I'm not referring to the trashy Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy by E. L. James. These books seemed to be better written. Or at least that's what I got from reading a few blurbs.
If you go trick-or-treating with your favorite book character, who would it be?
Publishers released a slew of horror novels throughout the 1980s, and many of them were ripoffs of other books, such as The Other Side by Diana Henstell. And by the word "ripoff," I'm referring to the stories that borrowed plots from other books or movies.
Today, I'm reviewing 1986's Black Ambrosia by Elizabeth Engstrom. More specifically, it's the Paperbacks from Hell edition by Valancourt Books that has a new introduction by author Grady Hendrix.
Tor Books originally published Black Ambrosia during the horror-craze of the 1980s. After appearing in Grady Hendrix's Paperback from Hell: The Twisted History of '70s and '80s Horror Fiction in 2017, the nearly forgotten title has come back from the grave, thanks to the 2019 reprint.
