Hello, everyone! Just wanted to keep you updated with what I’ve been up to for the last month. It’s been a very busy month - although not as busy as I would have liked, as I’ve come down with a nasty flu and bronchitis over the last fortnight. Hoping to pick things back up very soon.
Before that, I did spend a week at the BFI London Film Festival, so you’ll be seeing some reviews from things I saw there soon, and I was an extra on a horror movie for a day too - but obviously more news on that later next year.
In long form reviews, I looked at Dwayne Johnson’s dramatic comeback in The Smashing Machine, comparing it to the documentary it was inspired from! The Smashing Machine (2025): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5vYF...

Elsewhere, over with @AllisonPregler and @phelous, I’ve edited their videos on the third and fourth entries of the Halloweentown saga, and those movies definitely get worse with each passing entry! Pretty spooky, huh, folks?
