The Sci-Fi Chronicles lets me check in with Robocop next, and since I’d previously reviewed the first film, I’m jumping right to the second instalment. This film should have a lot going for it, Peter Weller returning to the role, directed by Irvin Kershner (the last film before his death) and a story by Frank…

20 Years of Tomb Raider (2016) – Meagan Marie
Lara Croft has been around for twenty years. And, I have to say, she looks better than ever. Since her first appearance in the game-changing, well, game, Tomb Raider in 1996, Lara Croft has made a name for herself in the action adventure series that centred around, an admittedly cartoon-like interpretation of a beautiful woman,…
Judge Dredd (1995) -Danny Cannon
You need to worry about any movie that thinks it’s a good idea to use Rob Schneider as your comic relief, and this, my next stop in the Sci-Fi Chronicles book is filled with potential, but those involved just didn’t seem to get the source material. Danny Cannon presents a busy MegaCity, a fairly familiar…
Fan Expo 2016 – The Mind Reels Return
This time next week, Sue and I will be enjoying all that is Fan Expo, Toronto’s biggest, celebrity filled geek-fest! I love going to Expo, and for the past few years, we’ve been fortunate enough the be able to cover this celebration of all the things we love as press, thank you to all…
Batman: The Animated Series (1995) – Showdown, Catwalk and A Bullet for Bullock
The fourth season of Batman: The Animated Series continues this week with this trio of episodes, first up is Showdown, which aired 12 September, 1995. This one is a little different, and may have hinted at what was going to come down the line when the Justice League series started. Batman (Kevin Conroy) and…
Orphan Black S4E01 – The Collapse of Nature
Tonight Clone Club returns to Space with the fourth season premiere of Orphan Black, and right from the off, Tatiana Maslany’s spectacular acting ability is back front and center, and despite having to wait too long between seasons, in moments, we learn that that, as always, the wait was worth it. We find ourselves…
The Greatest American Hero (1983) – Desperado and Vanity, Says the Preacher
And just like that we’re on to the last two episodes of the series, this one went by quick. And you can very much tell that by the beginning of the third season, the creative team behind the show was being forced to meet the studios demands far too often, causing the stories t…
Batman Returns (1992) – Tim Burton
It’s time to check in on the Caped Crusader again as I continue enjoying the Sci-Fi Chronicles book. Having previously reviewed Tim Burton’s 1989 interpretation of Batman, it’s time to leap forward to the early 90s to his the eccentric director’s first ever sequel. Michael Keaton returns as Bruce Wayne/Batman in this tale that…
Orphan Black S03E04 – Newer Elements of Our Defense
Orphan Black is everywhere – they were picked up for their fourth season this week, issue 3 of the comic book from IDW is on the stands (and it is canon after all), the amazing Funko figures (which I still need to pick up) so I was giddy sitting down to watch what happens this…
Da Vinci’s Demons: Season 2
It’s been a year since I sat down, and mainlined the first season of Da Vinci’s Demons thanks to the good people at Anchor Bay, so I was very excited to have a look at season two when it arrived, and it is available today! Series creator David S. Goyer continues to put the…
