To all my Scream fans, I love you. You’ve always been so incredibly supportive to me. I’m forever grateful to you and to what this franchise has given me over the past 25 years,”

Review: Apple TV's "Prehistoric Planet" Is A Must See Docuseries

Review: Apple TV’s “Prehistoric Planet” Is A Must See Docuseries

I have watched a lot of documentaries about dinosaurs; I am a colossal dino nerd and proud of it. Judging by the trailer for Apple TV’s “Prehistoric Planets” docuseries, I knew I was in for something good. I was wrong; what I got was something far beyond “good,” it’s incredible! Narrated by David Attenborough, who has long been the voice of the BBC and many scientific documentaries, series, and specials, “Prehistoric Planet” rolls back the clock 66 million years to when dinosaurs roamed the earth. With a combination of CGI and filming, the stunning docuseries explores the locations the beasts once called home. The first episode is titled “Coasts” and takes viewers to coastal lands and islands where we see a family of T-Rex, giant turtles, and more. The next episode takes us deep into the “Desert,” where dinosaurs struggle to survive. Next Prehistoric Plant delves into the “Freshwater” before giving us a glimpse into “Ice Worlds,” and finally, the

Nearly a year ago, we reported that director Crater Smith and actress Jena Malone are reuniting for the upcoming horror film Swallowed, which Smith describes as a “slimy wild queer horror nightmare of a movie.” The movie has just made its debut at the Overlook Film Festival, followed by the release of its trailer.
