Don’t smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Credit: Brad Gregg Even so, 17 percent of our residents admit they still smoke every day. It’s amazing so many people puff on the killers, considering they claim more victims than any other single cause, including suicide and alcohol or narcotics use, studies show. The good news? (Cough.

To Classic Albums newcomers, the franchise delivers the “definitive authorised story” of a culture-shaking disc in feature-length form, relying on video clips, concert footage and many a talking-head interview from the talents who were there, on both sides of the studio glass. In this case, that includes Gabriel, other musicians, members of the tech team […]

The Cabin in the Woods
Without spoiling anything you don’t already see in the trailer — or the film’s first scene — Cabin has two settings: the title site, which is a staple of so many slashers, and … an “office,” let’s say.
