Stargate SG-1 (2004) – Resurrection, and Inauguration
While O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) continues to recover from his staff blast wound he received in Heroes, the rest of SG-1 is sent to Los Angeles to consult on a mass murder case. Why? Because there are a number of Goa’uld artifacts, and the NID are involved. Written by Michael Shanks and directed by Amanda…

Stargate SG-1 (2004) – Grace, and Fallout
Carter (Amanda Tapping) has gated out to the Prometheus, still working on getting its hyperdrive fixed (it needs lots of cool downs and can only make short jumps) as it makes its long journey back to Earth.

Salem’s Lot (2024) – Gary Dauberman
Maybe it’s all the Universal Monster movies I’ve been watching lately, but I found that, for the most part, Dauberman’s adaptation of the classic Stephen King novel (the first one I ever read), Salem’s Lot, works. I don’t like how he changed the climax of the film. He moves it out of the Marsten House…
Man on Fire (2004) – Tony Scott
I love Tony Scott films; the saturated colours, the moving cameras, the tight pacing, the visual shorthand he used in his storytelling style. I don’t think I ever met a Tony Scott film I didn’t like. Sure I like some more than others, but all of them have his indelible print on them. Man on…
