Last rave review goes to YOU - the people I will most likely never have the privilege of meeting in person, the ticket buyers and movie fans who have allowed me to indulge my own day dreams and sometimes bash them into movies…the people I owe everything to. If you see me, say hi so I can say thanks.

Next rave review: a film called The Plague. Whilst not strictly a horror film, it is tense and unnerving in ways that dig under your skin with barbed hooks. Directed with such confidence by Charlie Polinger and featuring some of - if not THE - best acting from teenagers I’ve ever seen, this one hits

Time for some good reviews. I just finished reading this first rate crime thriller by S.A. Cosby. The whole book is a tense, white-knuckle ride from start to finish. And Cosby delivers a masterclass on how to make your readers be VERY afraid of your villains. Surely a limited series is in the works?

Such is the Videodrome-esque gravitational pull of social media that I occasionally feel guilty for never posting here. In order to atone for my sins, ask me any questions and I’ll check in and answer them.

This is my favourite song from the album right now. Not sure if it was intentional but it gives The Sword vibes in the best way.
One of my favorites from 2025. So damned good!
Discovered them from the video for Throw Yourself To The Sword. Perfect entry point!

Philip Seymour Hoffman’s delivery of the line “…cos I work on the films so if you ever, you know…” in this scene is some of the greatest acting of all time. RIP to this genius.
