A 54 year old New Hampshire woman was arrested on November 18th after failing to report her mother's death for six months. 

What are you supposed to do when a family member dies in your house? While the answer may not be immediately clear, it's definitely not a good option to avoid telling anyone. 

Kimberly Heller has been charged with a class B misdemeanor for "abuse of a corpse" and will be arraigned on January 6th.

Justice for Natalia Grace Barnett

Antwon and Cynthia Mans recently went to court to dispute that they had violated the gag order by providing information to a blog titled, "Justice for Natalia Grace."

The blog has plethora of personal information about the case posted, mostly attacking Kristine and Michael Barnett. The blog now has a disclaimer saying that no one provided them the information they have posted, and that it all came from social media accounts.

Is that really the case? What information is on this blog that would call them back to court before the Barnett trials? Let's take a look and see if there's any new information.

Dutch Family Locked in Farmhouse Basement Waiting for the "End of the World"

A Dutch family was found in a secret room in a farmhouse, Northeast of Amsterdam, allegedly waiting out the end of times. A father with five children, ages 18-25, had been living there for nine years since 2010.

The house was rented by a 58 year old Austrian man, Josef Brunner, which neighbors believed was the only person living there.  Josef and the father, Gerrit Jan Van Dorsten may have been involved in a cult. Sources say they were neighbors in the past and Gerrit was a member of Unification Church in the 1980s.

The oldest son Jan Zon van Dorsten, 25, escaped the compound and reported the family to the staff at the nearest pub, while also drinking five beers.

Josef and Gerrit have been detained while the investigation continues. Indications seem to point to the children being forced to live there against their will.

If you liked the movie "The Village" then we've got nothing for you

I saw this on Rotten Tomatoes and couldn't keep my mouth shut. I was watching the trailer for "Glass" and started thinking about M. Night Shyamalan's previous movies that people considered failures.

Lady in the Water is probably the only movie of his that I really didn't like. I was trying to pinpoint when he started getting a bad reputation, (as well as subsequent redemption) and I really think it started with "The Village." One could argue that it was "Signs," but I beg to differ.

Signs has a 74% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and is generally liked by critics as well as the public. The only caveat being that the aliens' weakness is water, and we tend to have a lot of that on Earth. I agree that it's a pretty weak plot point that should have raised some red flags as he was writing it, but then again maybe there was something about the aliens that causes that. I don't know. However, that wasn't the weakest part of the movie for me...

The way he slapped the audience in the face with the double entendre of "Signs" ... being from extraterrestrials as well as God/religious symbolism was where I chuckled at the whole thing. To me it just seemed like he smugly thought it was soooo clever, when it was ridiculously obvious. I wonder if Mel will get is faith back again??? Okay, let's not go there.

Anyways, critics loved "Signs" but not "The Village" and that makes no sense to me. I think it's a fantastic movie and now that I'm thinking about it, one that I want to watch again. It's well acted, directed, and well written... In my humble opinion.

The film develops an intense atmosphere, stunning cinematography, and a cast of unique characters that suck you into the story. The thing that people hated was the "twist" ending, *spoiler alert* being that they were in present day and there was no supernatural beings haunting the woods.

I thought that was a great twist that no only surprised me, but grounded the movie in a way that no supernatural plot lines could have done. It makes the peril of Lucius's situation that much more nuanced. They're living in present day, yet don't have the means to help him and a blind girl is the one that has to go get assistance because they don't want the secret revealed. For me, it invokes a lot more emotion (both negative and positive towards different characters for different reasons) than if it had been just some weird monsters in the woods.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I think "The Village" was misjudged and was a much better movie than if people had gotten what they wanted, had devolved into some ridiculous monster movie.

...but that's just my stupid opinion.
