Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy’s acclaimed synth-laden retro-thriller details the sordid sequence of events that lands a blood-stained scrap of mail on the desk of a county post-office’s “dead letter” investigator, and its murderous repercussions.

A Statement on the Retirement of Several of “Widescreen Online Review Plus®” Websites

Hello, Darlings

By now you, my young and old faithful followers know that Widescreen Online Review Plus® Websites was comprised of many sites spanning twenty plus years. However, for me and as time passed, I recognized that my websites had expanded further than I could handle, and that the entertainment industry and those personalities responsible for trusting me to write open and honest reviews on their creative works were no longer out there. Like me, a 75 year old gal, they are either retired or no longer with us.  Understanding this, in 2025, I stop publishing articles on my major websites, and closed them up.

However, it has come to my attention that whenever, I post articles on Seven Ninety Seven "Home Of The Bargain Queen" or its blog, Evelyn’s Twigs, Thyme and Stranger Things Gardens, the privacy setting on the retired sites, My Anime Nook, Widescreen Anime Links, Widescreen Comic Review ( the three favorites of the youths), and Widescreen Online Review will be public for viewing.

As I see it, this in itself is no problem. I put a lot of time and effort onto each page of these websites over the past twenty years, so should you stumble upon them when I am posting on Seven Ninety Seven "Home Of The Bargain Queen" or its blog, Evelyn’s Twigs, Thyme and Stranger Things Gardens, feel free to read to your hearts contend with the understanding that these website will no longer be updated, and because the industry has change many of the links to other websites and videos may not exist any longer. Nevertheless, I will post this message on each of the websites and leave them open for a short period of time for the curious of minds.

 

All this being stated, you might also enjoy my current websites, is more about current events, diets (I have loads of interesting and tasty recipes), from outdoor container gardening, potted houseplants, and the newest trend, indoor hydroponic gardening, which I, and millions of other people find fascinating and rewarding, not just as a hobby but as wonderful way to supplement ones diet with homegrown vegetable and fruit during the entire year.

 

Current websites:

·         Seven Ninety Seven "Home Of The Bargain Queen"

·         Evelyn’s Twigs, Thyme and Stranger Things Gardens

·         A Catholic's Life, Anew, my faith, do not trample upon.

SHE'S BACK!!! M3GAN 2.0

 

M3GAN 2.0in theaters June 27 n theaters June 27.

The murderous doll who captivated pop culture in 2023 is back. And this time she’s not alone. 

The original creative team behind that phenomenon—led by horror titans James Wan for Atomic Monster, Jason Blum for Blumhouse and director Gerard Johnstone—reboot an all-new wild chapter in A.I. mayhem with M3GAN 2.0. 

Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN’s creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules. 

Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno; Ahsoka, Pacific Rim: Uprising), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around. 

With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original A.I bitch is about to meet her match. 

MISS ME?


M3GAN 2.0in theaters June 27 n theaters June 27.

Bruce Willis and De'Voreaux White in DieHard is Back

Ever ask yourself about what happened to actor De'Voreaux White, who played Argyle in the 1988 mega hit, "Die Hard" starring Bruce Willis. I did this morning, and among the many articles about White, I ran across this old DieHard batteries commercial featuring both White and Willis. 

Once upon a time ...

Universal Pictures New Film: Wolf Man

 From the Director of The Invisible Man, #WolfManMovie is in theaters January.

---Website: https://www.wolfmanmovie.com
What if someone you loved became something else?

From Blumhouse and visionary writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man, comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man. 



Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, It Comes at Night) stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Emmy winner Julia Garner; Ozark, Inventing Anna), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth; Hullraisers, Coma).

But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.

The film co-stars Sam Jaeger (The Handmaid’s Tale), Ben Prendergast (The Sojourn Audio Drama) and Benedict Hardie (The Invisible Man).

Wolf Man is directed by Whannell, whose previous films with Blumhouse include The Invisible Man, Upgrade and Insidious: Chapter 3. The screenplay is written by Leigh Whannell & Corbett Tuck, Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo (Dumb Money).

The film is produced by Blumhouse founder and CEO Jason Blum and is executive produced by Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Leigh Whannell. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production. -- Universal Pictures
