We are eight days away from my favorite holiday of the year: Half Priced Candy Day.

Potato juice is a beautiful thing.

This week, in honor of the social experiment known as Valentine’s Day, we’re going to mark the occasion by taking a look at motherhood in Aliens, the senses as personality necessity in Amelie, and a recommendation for a horror film that’s a bit of a staple this time of year. So grab your fermented potato juice, park it on the couch in a really comfy-yet-unattractive bathrobe, and get ready for some good times. It’s just you and me, baby.
