We’re the Millers (2013) – Rawson Marshall Thurber
It took me a while to finally get this one. I honestly didn’t think I would enjoy it. But I was wrong. It’s charming, has some laugh-out-loud moments and features Jason Sudekis surrounded by an incredibly strong, comedic cast. Sudekis plays David, a man who has spent his entire life dealing pot. He has no…
The Visitor (1979) – Giulio Paradisi
The Visitor is a bizarre, so bad it comes around to be good sci-fi/horror film that is just bizarre. Its happenings are so strange, you can’t take your eyes off the screen, and like I said, it’s so bad, it’s actually good, in a really bad way. Aliens are fighting on the planet Earth. At…
Farscape (2001) – … Different Destinations, and Eat Me
In a series that has characters, moments and stories I love, …Different Destinations may be one of my favorites. First airing on 13 April, 2001 it was written by Steve Worland. While Moya is doing some cleaning that requires some downtime, Aeryn (Claudia Black), Crichton (Ben Browder), D’Argo (Anthony Simcoe), Stark (Paul Goddard) and Jool…
Pacific Heights (1990) – John Schlesinger
I remember when this one came out. I was very eager to see it, as until this film, and Batman before it, I had only seen Micheal Keaton in comedies. So throwing him in a thriller, as the baddie? How could I not tune in. Melanie Griffith and Matthew Modine portray Patty and Drake a…
Stargate SG-1 (2003) – Avenger 2.0, and Birthright

Since his last appearance in The Other Guys he’s been working on a number of projects, and one of them is a computer virus, Avenger 2.0. This virus should help them better control…
Northern Exposure (1993) – Heal Thyself, and A Cup of Joe
Holling (John Cullum) is cracking wise in Shelly’s (Cynthia Geary) LaMaze class and is getting on everyone’s nerves, including Joel’s (Rob Morrow). And Holling has no explanation for it. Or maybe does. Maybe he’s a remnant of an older age, and isn’t used to discussing female bodily functions, and doesn’t think men should be in…
With a Mind to Kill (2022) – Anthony Horowitz
Anthony Horowitz delivers one last 007 adventure, this one set after the last novel in the Ian Fleming series, The Man with the Golden Gun. James Bond had been brainwashed by the Russians and sent to kill M, something he almost did. But after some rehabilitation, 007 proved himself once again by going after Scaramanga….
Stargate SG-1 (2003) – Enemy Mine, and Space Race
A geological SG team led by Colonel Edwards (Michael Rooker!!) finds themselves in need of some help from SG-1 when one of Edwards’ team is abducted and killed by an Unas. Edwards’ team is on the planet to mine naquadah, and is less than keen to listen to anything Daniel (Michael Shanks) has to say…
Baywatch (2017) – Seth Gordon
I’ll be honest, I quite enjoyed the big screen adaptation of the cult favorite Baywatch. One could argue it’s not as entertaining as the 21 Jumpstreet films, but it ended up being damned fun, and pokes fun at the entire series, while honoring it at the same time. And it’s got a beautiful-looking cast to…
