Suicide Kings (1997) – Peter O’Fallon
I don’t think I gave this one the attention it was due when it first came out. I remember watching it, but not paying as much attention to it as I should. Watching it now, I enjoyed it quite a lot. It’s got a great cast, and a tight script. A group of friends find…
The Peacemaker (1997) – Mimi Leder
It’s easily been a couple of decades since I last watched this techno-thriller with George Clooney and Nicole Kidman. I have to say, in the current geo-political environment, it’s hard to see the Americans as the good guys, working against Russian and Eastern European interests. And it’s sad that I feel that way. A group…
Farscape (2000) – Liars, Guns and Money: Part 3 (Plan B), and Die Me, Dichotomy
The plan has changed. As Moya slowly begins to recover from burning out the living ingots, D’Argo (Anthony Simcoe) realizes what Crichton (Ben Browder) has done! He’s given himself up to Scorpius (Wayne Pygram) to allow he and his friends to go free, including D’Argo’s son, Jothee (Matthew Nelson). With their hired guns, Aeryn (Claudia…
Kuffs (1992) – Bruce A. Evans
Kuffs was tailor-made for Christian Slater. Writer/director Bruce A. Evans alongside Raynold Gideon wrote the script with Slater in mind, and he plays the role perfectly in this action-comedy with constant fourth wall breaks. It’s like if Ferris Bueller became a cop. George Kuffs (Slater) is 21 and can’t figure his life out. He ditches…
Stargate SG-1 (2003) – The Changeling, and Memento
Christopher Judge writes this episode, The Changeling, which first aired on 28 February, 2003. Teal’c (Judge) is being plagued by strange dreams in which he is human and where he is haunted by Apophis (Peter Williams) and the rest of SG-1 join him as firefighters.

He and Ed (Darren E. Burrows) are spending an evening together, seeing a movie and sharing a dinner as thanks for…
Stargate SG-1 (2003) – Disclosure, and Forsaken
It doesn’t happen often in this series, but I think we were due for one. It’s the SG-1 clip show! A framing story, written by Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie, sees Hammond (Don S. Davis) and Major Davis (Colin Cunningham) briefing representatives from other governments. They are revealing the existence of the Stargate program to…
Code of Silence (1985) – Andrew Davis
Chuck Norris stars in this 1985 actioner which is arguably some of his best work. Honestly, having just gotten through it, and without sounding too harsh, that’s not saying much. He may be a great athlete and martial artist, but his acting skills still aren’t great. Originally tooled as one of the many Dirty Harry…
Hoosiers (1986) – David Anspaugh
There’s a few films that have slipped through my cinema education, Hoosiers with Gene Hackman was one of them. Sports films aren’t always my jam, but I know people who swear by this movie. With Hackman’s passing, I thought I was past due to take a look at this one. And hey look, it’s got…
