“Manos: The Hands of Fate” review

 Jackson Cooper       Staff Writer The worst movie in the world is a funny way to flirt with someone. “What’s the worst movie you’ve ever seen?” People’s eyes light up and they become joyous. Mine? “Transformers 2,” the most horrendous piece of trash I’ve ever seen next to GTCC’s production of the musical “9 to 5.” That is, until I watched “Manos: The … Continue reading “Manos: The Hands of Fate” review
