Toronto Fan Expo 2025 – Day 2
I have to say, today’s venture into Fan Expo was a good one. After too long apart, I was reunited with my creative partner, Sue Lawley-Maynard. Can you believe we hadn’t seen each other in person since before covid? There was a point that if one of us was around then the other was probably…
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) – Robert Mulligan
The moment I finished Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel, I knew it was tome to check out the cinematic version, another hole in my viewing category.

Sherlock Holmes Faces Death (1943) – Roy William Neill
Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and Watson (Nigel Bruce) are back, and this time out, their story takes its inspiration from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual.’ They left behind some of the World War II storylines, though it still has an influence.
