At the height of his James Bond run, Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo teamed up with director John McTiernan to deliver a vastly entertaining remake of the Steve McQueen classic, The Thomas Crown Affair. What the film delivers is a bold, sexy tale. I hadn’t watched this one in years, and I forgot how solid,…

Stargate: Atlantis (2007) – Irresponsible, and Tao of Rodney
Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie penned Irresponsible, which first aired on 27 April, 2007. It saw the return of Richard Kind’s Lucius Lavin. He’s causing problems again, but things are going to get really complicated for Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) and the rest with the arrival of Kolya (Robert Davi). Lucius comes to the attention of…
Get Smart (1966) – Anatomy of a Lover, Strike While the Agent is Hot, and A Spy for a Spy
Don Adams had a very short summer break between seasons one and two of Get Smart. The first season, with a staggering thirty episodes, came to a close in the first week of May 1966. By 17 September, 1966, Maxwell Smart (Adams) was continuing his spycraft. The first episode of the season, Anatomy of a…
Predator: Badlands (2025) – Dan Trachtenberg
I loved Dan Trachtenberg’s Prey. It was amazing. It took an IP that continues to endure and intrigue and shake it up in a new way. So when I heard he was cranking out another one, I was ready to see what he did next. Predator: Badlands ends up being a middle-of-the-road entry, one that…
Stargate SG-1 (2007) – The Road Not Taken, and The Shroud
Carter (Amanda Tapping) finds herself in a parallel universe in The Road Not Taken. Written by Alan McCullough, this episode first debuted on 27 April, 2007. While testing an experimental device based on Merlin’s work, Carter’s arrival in a different universe allows her the opportunity to help hide the planet from the Ori. In effect…
Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) – Colin Trevorrow
Jurassic World: Dominion is the sixth film in the Jurassic franchise, and it seemed very intent on wrapping up lots of plot threads that ran through, or surfaced in the series. I’ve watched it twice now, and I will say this, enjoyed it much more the second go round. I will also say this. We’re…
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019) – Chad Stahelski
I have served. I will be of service. I love these films so much. Each one has taken what we have learned in the previous film and builds on it. And John Wick (Keanu Reeves) gets pulled back, completely into the underworld of assassination that he left for five years. When the film opens, he…
Smallville (2002) – Nicodemus, and Stray
Nicodemus gives us a bit of This Side of Paradise feel… you know the classic Star Trek episode? Written by Micheal Green from a story by Greg Walker, it first aired on 19 March, 2002. We learn that Dr. Hamilton (Steve Norton) has been working for Lex (Micheal Rosenbaum) and doing some experimenting with the…
Bring Her Back (2025) – Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou
That’s two for two for the Philippous as far as I’m concerned. I was delightfully impressed with how much I enjoyed Talk to Me. And as soon as I discovered they had another film out there, it shot right to the top of my viewing list. And Bring Her Back, it’s an experience. It’s unnerving,…
Stargate: Atlantis (2007) – The Return: Part 2, and Echoes
Stargate: Atlantis returned from its mid-season break on 13 April, 2007 with the second part of The Return. Written by Martin Gero, the story sees Sheppard (Joe Flanigan), Weir (Torri Higginson), McKay (David Hewlett), Beckett (Paul McGillion), Teyla (Rachel Luttrell) and Ronon (Jason Momoa) leading the charge to rescue O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson), Woolsey (Robert…
