It’s amazing how time gets by from you. I last read a Star Wars book in May 2021, and I read the first installment of Kevin J. Anderson’s Jedi Academy Trilogy in March of 2021. It’s now the end of 2024! But diving into the next Star Wars novel in publication order, Dark Apprentice, the…

Vampires vs. The Bronx (2020) – Oz Rodriguez
Vampires vs. The Bronx feels like a bit of a throwback to those teen/young audience horror films that were springing up during the 80s. Undeniably influenced by The Lost Boys, and perhaps The Monster Squad, it doesn’t have quite the same level of cult-hood, but it is a fun film that is a solid kid-friendly…
The Vigil (2019) – Keith Thomas
Once again, it’s thanks to Mike Flanagan and his podcast, Director’s Commentary, for introducing me to a film that I may have missed out on. The Vigil is a wonderful little horror film that has a quick runtime of ninety minutes, and uses every one of those to tell an engaging and spooky story. Yakov…
Farscape (1999) – The Flax, and Jeremiah Crichton

Boy Kills World (2023) – Moritz Mohr
I missed theatrical screenings of Boy Kills World and having seen it, I regret it. I think I would have loved to be in the audience for screenings of this film because this one is bound to be a cult classic! Filled with lots of humor, great action beats and a surprisingly emotional kick, Boy…

Northern Exposure (1992) – The Final Frontier, and It Happened in Juneau
While Maggie (Janine Turner) obsesses over a package that has traveled the globe for the past four years, Maurice (Barry Corbin) deals with a group of Japanese tourists who have come to Cicely to see the town, the Northern Lights, and take in the wonderful sights.

The Mystery Guest (2023) – Nita Prose
I absolutely loved Nita Prose’s The Maid, and as I found myself getting tired of running in the repetitive book cycle I was in it seemed like a good idea to pick up the second novel featuring Molly Gray. Set some time after the events of the first book, The Mystery Guest returns us to…
Stargate SG-1 (2000) – Small Victories, and The Other Side
Season four got underway on 30 June, 2000 with Small Victories, which continues the story started in the season three finale with the Replicators! Written by Robert C. Cooper, the episode picks up shortly after the end of the finale, with a Replicator. It boards a Soviet sub, and begins to wreck havoc. The only…
