Star Trek: The Next Generation – A Rock and a Hard Place (1990) – Peter David
There’s a couple of minor things that stick in my craw about Peter David’s A Rock and a Hard Place, but none of them detract from my enjoyment of the book which actually reads, and feels a lot like n actual episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Despite the art on the cover showing…

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…

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…

I Only Read Murder (2023) – Ian and Will Ferguson
I didn’t know where to go after I finished Becky Chambers’ Wayfarer series. I hadn’t been moved and entertained by books like that in a long time. So I decided to go the opposite way, and find something light and fun. Enter: I Only Read Murder by Canadian authors Ian Ferguson and Will Ferguson. It…
