Yet another subscription... I was hoping that they'd offer a yearly price like Disney Plus does (I prefer to just pay and forget about it for a year. For some reason that feels like less of a commitment).

A sad loss. I remember Catherine O'Hara from as far back as her days on SCTV, the weird Canadian comedy show that helped shape my bizarre sense of humour.

New trailers this week:

The trailer for the He Man trailer is more interesting than the actual He Man trailer.

Tuner looks like it could be good.

The new Stephen Graham film looks like it could be just my level of weirdness

Everything else isn't doing it for me.

Anyway, here's my thoughts on the fabulous 28 Years Later second chapter The Bone Temple.

A ★★★★½ review of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)
OK...Let's turn this up to eleven This chapter drifts even further from traditional horror, treating the infection as little more than background noise while turning its gaze toward the darker rituals...
