HAFILAX's Trev was late to the Rich Aucoin party, until one night in 2023 when it all clicked and he was awash in synth, streamers and sweat. Review and photos from the end of the parachute era, at Sommo Fest:

It won't surprise you to know that Stephen Archibald notices scaffolding, because he doesn't miss much. But you might be surprised by how much more interesting scaffold is than you thought:

Still in cinemas, but now also available on Netflix: Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, with Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, and Mia Goth. Carsten says it's monstrously beautiful, but shambles:

Carsten thought it was worth going back to his top movie every year and see whether he would still choose it as the year's best. Or would something else from that year take the crown?

Of all the bands at the 2025 Sommo Festival, it was St. Paul & The Broken Bones who felt like one of those pinch me moments, says Trev. His photos on HAFILAX:

Nuremberg is surprisingly pulpy, fitfully entertaining, and overlong, says Carsten. The final act is the courtroom drama we know is coming and the likes of which we’ve seen before:
