Hello kids, another week is upon us as the autumn slowly sets it’s way into the weather. With things beginning to cool down nothing seems more soothing than relaxing with a blanket, a nice drink, some snacks and checking out some fine and bizarre cinema at home. This week’s selections are as usual a mixed bag with one intriguing title dealing virtual reality, Russian spies, monsters, and ofcourse Jesus. It might be my pic of the week as a brain melter.
