The Mighty Quinn (1989) – Carl Schenkel
I don’t think The Mighty Quinn ever found the right tone. They don’t quite get the island life vibe right. A film that is supposed to be a mystery, thriller and comedy has to walk a fine line, and it never seems to be able to do that. It’s no fault of the cast, Denzel…
F1 (2025) – Joseph Kosinski
I should have seen this on the big screen. I’ve been a fan of Joseph Kosinski since Tron. There’s a couple of his films that have slipped by me, but every one that I’ve seen, I’ve enjoyed. F1 is no different. With Jerry Bruckheimer producing you know it’s going to be slick and fast-paced, but…

Smallville (2002) – Redux, and Lineage
Redux first aired on 29 October, 2002 and was written by Russel Friend and Garrett Lerner. There’s lots going on in this episode! It seems a number of Smallville High students are aging rapidly. What’s causing that? And if Clark (Tom Welling) didn’t have his hands full with that, there’s more trouble at the school….

It’s time to wrap up the Ori storyline for Stargate SG-1.

They have found the weapon that could stop the Ori,…
Smallville (2002) – Heat, and Duplicity
The second episode of season two drops us right back into the freak-of-the-week cycle, while continuing to develop the overall character and mythology arcs. Heat first aired on 1 October, 2002 and was written by Mark Verheiden. Clark (Tom Welling) discovers his heat vision, which gets out of control pretty quickly, and hurts Lana (Kristin…
Stargate SG-1 (2007) – Dominion, and Unending
Here we go, the end run for Stargate SG-1. Dominion, the penultimate episode debuted on 15 June, 2007. It was written by Alan McCullough from a story by Alex Levine. With only two episodes left the series needs to wrap up character and narrative arcs, and that means we are going to see lots of…

Tempest closes out the first season of Smallville. Written by showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar from a story by Philip Levens, season one came to a close on 21 May, 2002. The spring formal is here, Clark (Tom Welling) and Chloe (Allison Mack) are headed out together. And there’s lots of other character stuff…
