Stargate SG-1 (2007) – The Quest: Part 2, and Line in the Sand

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) – J.A. Bayona

Five films in you can’t expect the series to forge too much new ground. They have a formula that works and people love seeing dinosaurs running amok. This story brings back Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) to bookend the film, and puts Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard – bit of a crush) and Chris Pratt…

John Wick (2014) – Chad Stahelski

I was shocked (and delighted because it meant I could watch them all again) that I hadn’t written about John Wick before. I had written up the second film but for some reason hadn’t done the other three. So that means I could buckle up and dive into this amazing world where assassins thrive, have…

Frailty (2001) – Bill Paxton

I miss Bill Paxton. Sure, I never actually got to meet the man, but I loved his work. And It has been forever since I watched his film Frailty, so why not a revisit? Damn, this one is still a solid film. Mr. Meiks (Matthew McConaughey) comes to see FBI agent Wesley Doyle (Powers Boothe)….

Stargate: Atlantis (2006) – Phantoms, and The Return: Part 1

A Bridge Too Far (1977) – Richard Attenborough

A Bridge Too Far is a solid and amazing film. It also suffers from the time it was made, and the films that followed it. It’s packed with big names. It is literally an all-star cast in a way that doesn’t happen anymore. All of them working to bring the story of Operation Market Garden…
