“Soon all the world will see what an awful movie Sony Pictures Entertainment has made. The world will be full of fear. Remember the 11th of September 2001. We recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that time…” This is the chilling message that has threatened a terrorist attack to...

Christmas. It’s nearly here, with just one more Anti-Advent recommendation to go. After today’s of course.
