Also, since it is the 45th anniversary of MY BLOODY VALENTINE, I figured today would be a good day to share my piece on it from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/one-and-done...

I’m a huge fan of MBV & hopefully I celebrated it properly here. Any shares and/or subs would really be appreciated!

Anyone know why the upcoming MATADOR 4K/Blu Ray has disappeared from Umbrella Entertainment’s website?

It was promoted as recently as January 20 on IG (below). But it’s nowhere on their site anymore.

2004’s THE PUNISHER is a deeply flawed movie. But I always liked this sequence of events with Harry Heck (Mark Collie). Performing a ballad for your target is some stone cold stuff.

Please check out my Bullz-Eye review of THE RIP. It's an entertaining movie, but not necessarily a revelatory one. (Also don't drink every time they say "rip"—you will die!)
