The Andromeda Strain (1971) – Robert Wise
I greatly enjoyed reading Michael Crichton’s The Andromeda Strain and then I decided to correct an oversight in my viewing history and check out the 1971 film directed masterfully by Robert Wise. I love that like the book, the film is played very straight, and consequently it makes the idea all the more frightening. When…
Northern Exposure (1994) – Fish Story, and The Gift of the Maggie
Ruth-Anne (Peg Phillips) gets sick of retail when everyone treats her poorly, and hits the road on Chris’ (John Corbett) Harley. She joins up with a group of bikers known as the Diablos, led by Turk (Stephen McHattie), and she gets a bit of a new look on things as she realizes everyone has problems….
Stargate SG-1 (2004) – Lockdown, and Zero Hour
Stargate Command is showing a little more international cooperation, as the Russians have a detachment working there in concert with a space station in orbit. This space station has a close call with a piece of debris from the most recent battle and it seems something has survived. Lockdown was written by Joseph Mallozzi and…
Anyone But You (2023) – Will Gluck
Using Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing as a template (there are quotes and references littered throughout), Will Gluck directs this delightful, and sexy rom-com that stars Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney. Ben (Powell) and Bea (Sweeney) have a lovely little meet-cute, and have an amazing first date. One that is brought to an abrupt end,…
Gladiator II (2024) – Ridley Scott
I greatly enjoy Ridley Scott films, he’s an incredible technical director, even when his films aren’t as emotionally captivating as I would like, there’s always something masterful about his creations. Gladiator II is no different. The first film resonated and struck a chord with filmgoers everywhere. It’s no surprise that the idea of a sequel…
Farscape (2001) – Scratch ‘n Sniff, and Infinite Possibilities Part 1: Daedalus Demands
Crichton (Ben Browder) and D’Argo (Anthony Simcoe) have pissed Pilot (voiced by Lani John Tupu) off, so he as banished them, along with Jool (Tammy Macintosh) and Chiana (Gigi Edgley). They are on enforced vacation, and it’s going to be a wild ride, as they get drunk, and rolled. Lots of laughs in this one,…
Top Secret! (1984) – Jerry Zucker, David Zucker, and Jim Abrahams
It’s been a couple of decades since I last watched Top Secret! I remember from my time working in a video store that it was a perennial favourite of my friend Ted. And with the passing of Val Kilmer, I felt it was definitely time to take it in again. And wow, did I laugh….
Stargate: Atlantis (2004) – Rising
Stargate: Atlantis launched with a feature length debut episode on 16 July, 2004. It was written by Robert C. Cooper and Brad Wright. O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) and Daniel (Michael Shanks) shows up to assist in the launch. It’s fun, looks great and expands the Stargate universe. Dr. Weir (now played by Torri Higginson) has…
