Silent Hill (2006) – Christopher Gans
As we’ve seen over the decades there can be good and bad video game adaptations, I would make the argument that Slient Hill falls solidly into the good adaptations. It’s creepy, incredibly eerie and you don’t have to have any real knowledge of the game to enjoy the film. Using the game as its basis,…

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (2003) – Mark Haddon
This book has been sitting on my ‘to be read’ pile for a while, but it felt like now was the time to dig into it, and I was delighted to do so. Haddon introduces us to fifteen-year-old Christopher. He is autistic, has his likes and dislikes, and is brilliant at math and problem-solving. He…
Star Trek: Vulcan’s Glory (1989) – D.C. Fontana
Space, the final frontier… I dove into another Trek novel from Pocket Books this week, and this was one I wouldn’t have read when I was younger despite the fact that it was penned by one of the writers of The Original Series, D.C. Fontana. In fact this was the only Trek novel she wrote…

Anchor Bay sent a long Nothing To Fear for me to take a look at this week, it’s getting a lot of chatter because it is being produced by legendary rocker Slash and his production company. In the film’s special features Slash voices an opinion of horror movies that I quite agree with, the…
Hot Docs: God Loves Uganda – Roger Ross Williams
