As I’ve previously said, in fact, I think everyone has found footage can be hit or miss. Tribe came up in my Facebook feed, and I figured, why not? There was something in it that caught my interest. For the most part, the film works; it stands up, but there are some pretty low-budget visual…

Taken (2002) – Taken
The ten-episode miniseries wrapped up on 13 December, 2002. Leslie Bohem attempts to give an explanation that will check all the boxes about alleged UFO sightings and alien abductions. Does it all work? No, because it tries to explain something that we may not be ready for, if any of the encounters are true. Charlie…
Taken (2002) – John
The penultimate episode of the Taken mini-series first aired on 12 December, 2002. Leslie Bohem continues delivering a solid script that picks up exactly where the previous episode left off.

We Used to Live Here (2024) – Marcus Kliewer
Some books not only take you in, but hint at a much bigger world behind the pages if you are willing to explore it. We Used to Live Here is one of those. It’s a spooky, unnerving tale, that is enmeshed in secrets and codes that eager readers can work to solve, and join online…
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…
Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955) – Charles Lamont
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello make their final Universal Monster movie with Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy. I’m not sure if I think this one is better, worse or equal to Meet the Invisible Man. I do know that Meet Frankenstein is their best. This time out, the pair are a couple of would-be…
