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…

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

The second half of SG-1’s final season picked up on 13 April, 2007, almost seven months after the mid-season finale in September of 2006. Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie throw us right back into things as SG-1, alongside Ba’al (Cliff Simon) and Adria (Morena Baccarin) continue their uneasy alliance and their search for the sangraal….

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…

Smallville (2002) – Kinetic, and Zero

Kinetic was written by Philip Levens and first debuted on 26 February, 2002. Lex (Michael Rosenbaum), Clark (Tom Welling) and Chloe (Allison Mack) are at the Luthor Mansion for an interview. But things go badly when a local gang, who have the ability to phase through walls show up to rob the place. And because…

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

Carl Binder wrote Phantoms that first aired on 15 September, 2006. Hallucinations seem to be running rampant through offworld teams. What’s causing them? What are they? Can it be stopped? Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) leads his team, along with Dr. Beckett (Paul McGillion) to follow up on a team that has missed its check-in. But things…
