My daughter saw the horror/comedy Dead Talents Society at its North American premiere and thought it was great. Now that it is on Netflix, she shared it with me. She’s right. It’s a lot of fun.

The movie The Brain (1988) was shot here. Scenes were filmed in the high school around the corner and the former Xerox Research Centre near my daughter’s dance studio was home of the Brain.

My eldest daughter and I did a thing during the Christmas break. We experienced both House of Wax (1953) and The Mask (1961) at the theatre in glorious 3D. We even got to keep the glasses for The Mask! 😁
