Scott Rosenbaum pens Chuck Versus the First Kill which debuted on 13 April, 2009. While the staff at BuyMore try to deal with Emmett’s (Tony Hale) evaluation and whether or not they move against him, Chuck (Zachary Levi) is hoping for leads and information about his father’s (Scott Bakula) location, since he’s being held by…

Star Wars: Rebels (2015) – Call to Action, Rebel Resolve, and Fire Across the Galaxy
We dive into the final three episodes of the inaugural season of Star Wars: Rebels this week. First up is Call to Action. Written by Greg Weisman and Simon Kinberg and originally aired on 26 January, 2015. The spark of rebellion is spreading across the galaxy, so to draw even more attention to it, the…
Quantum of Solace (2008) – Marc Forster
Daniel Craig’s second outing as Ian Fleming’s James Bond, is the spy movie of the week as I continue exploring the original 007 novels. I have a few issues with this film, one of them being the running time, this is the first Bond film in quite sometime that isn’t two hours or more, and…
Tentacles (1977) – Ovidio G. Assonitis
This Italian made California shot creature feature that wants to be the next Jaws, or even the next Orca, is the next film up in DK Canada’s so fun Monsters in the Movies book. It definitely fails on that front, an angry, human hungry, giant octopus… ok. The real scary thing is some of the…
Sawkill Girls (2018) – Claire Legrand
So I needed to try something different this week, to break up the cycle of books I’ve been reading, but obviously, I had to find it interesting and enjoyable. Claire Legrand’s Sawkill Girls is just that. I came across the title in a list of books to fill that Stranger Things craving, and was duly…
Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020) – Blu-Ray Review
DC Comics and Warner Brothers brings Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) back to the screen in Birds of Prey, the latest blu-ray/DVD release in the DC universe. And I won’t lie, I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun I had with this one. It’s quite amazing to see how far the character has come and…
The White Gorilla (1945) – Harry L. Fraser
Well, as one of my favourite music groups will tell you, sometimes, bad is bad. This entry in the chapter called Monstrous Apes in DK Canada’s highly enjoyable Monsters in the Movies book is pretty horrid. It marries footage from a 1927 silent three hour epic called Perils of the Jungle, which clashes with the…
Star Trek: Enemy Unseen (1990) – V.E. Mitchell
The Human Adventure continues, but they aren’t always outstanding. Sure, of late, there has definitely been an uptick in the quality of stories in the series of late. Unfortunately, Enemy Unseen by V.E. Mitchell didn’t do it for me. Originally written to be part of the five year mission, Paramount and Pocket Books changed the…
Star Wars: Extraordinary Droids (2020) – Simon Beecroft
This week sees another release from DK Canada’s Star Wars library, focusing on those wonderful, amazing and Extraordinary Droids. This entry in the DK Books Star Wars series is definitely aimed at the younger readers, filled with big full page pictures of droids, and a descriptive paragraph for characters both familiar and new. The book…
Redemption Ark (2002) -Alastair Reynolds
I return to the universe of Alastair Reynold’s space opera this week, with a story that ties directly into Revelation Space, though it also ties into the expanded universe as glimpsed in Chasm City. The Inhibitors are back, they are an ancient mechanical race that prunes back intelligent life, stopping them when they venture too…
