Magnetosphere (2024) – Nicola Rose
Magnetosphere is a delightfully charming family-friendly feature that celebrates the pangs of first loves, the acceptance of one’s self, and living with a beautiful, but sometimes troubling condition, synesthesia, which causes her to see sounds, hear colours, and more. Maggie (Shayelin Martin) is thirteen, and she and her family are settling into Sault Ste. Marie….
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939) – Alfred L. Werker
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is the second Basil Rathbone Holmes film, and I ended up being more into this one than The Hound of the Baskervilles. Rathbone brings Arthur Conan Doyle’s character to wonderful life, making it his own, with Nigel Bruce’s Watson a perfect foil for him. This one feels like a bit…
Farscape (2002) – Unrealized Reality, and Kansas
Unrealized Reality was written by David Kemper and first aired on 23 August, 2002. Crichton (Ben Browder) is about to get an education! When he tumbles into a wormhole, and he encounters an alien, Einstein (John Bach), who wants to learn why Crichton was given this information. And to show him how much things can…
Gotcha! (1985) – Jeff Kanew
I remember greatly enjoying Gotcha! when I rented it on video back in the day. And though it’s always been floating round in the back of my mind, I haven’t watched it since… until now. And let me tell you, this one stands up. There’s a couple of things that don’t stand the test of…
Stargate: Atlantis (2005) – The Siege: Part 3, and The Intruder
Things are pretty dire for the Atlantis Expedition. Ford (Rainbow Sun Francks) gets grabbed by a Wraith who is feeding on him when a grenade goes off and sends them both tumbling over the side into the distant ocean. Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) is on his suicide run, but is saved at the last moment, despite…
Northern Exposure (1995) – Mi Casa, Su Casa, and Horns
Marilyn (Elaine Miles) comes to visit Joel (Rob Morrow), well not really, so he’s a little bothered by the fact that she didn’t. She’s there for a community event, not to see how Joel is getting by. As they spend time together, Joel finds himself trying to convince her that he’s changed. Mi Casa, Su…
Stargate SG-1 (2005) – Avalon: Part 1, and Part 2
Season nine got underway with Avalon: Part 1 on 15 July, 2005. It was written by Robert C. Cooper with excerpts written by Cooper and Brad Wright. And it is not the show it was at the end of the last season. Season nine features some big changes for the series. Sure we had Jonas…
The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939) – Sidney Lanfield
I’ll be honest, I had never seen one of Basil Rathbone’s Sherlock Holmes before. So I figured why not go back to the beginning and check out his first film, and perhaps explore more of his turn as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic character – he did fourteen films. And joining him as Watson, who…
Farscape (2002) – A Prefect Murder, and Coup by Clam
Moya has entered into Tormented Space and they are going to find trouble right away in A Prefect Murder. Written by Mark Saraceni, this episode was first broadcast on 9 August, 2002.
