Child’s Play writer Don Mancini, who has penned all of the entries so far, continues to guide us through Chucky’s (voiced by Brad Dourif) murderous adventures. Like the previous entry, Seed of Chucky, he also directs this one. Curse of Chucky didn’t get a theatrical release; it was straight-to-video, the first in the series to…

National Lampoon’s: Loaded Weapon 1 (1993) – Gene Quintano
I hadn’t watched this one since it came out, and I don’t remember loving it. That was over twenty years ago, and I watched it anew. And man, I loved it. It’s so funny. The sight gags are great, the cameos are hilarious, and the cast is perfect. Emilio Estevez and Samuel L. Jackson lead…
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016) – Paul W.S. Anderson
Ok. Sure it took me ten years to get to the final chapter of the Resident Evil franchise. But it was worth it. I’ve always enjoyed these movies for the escapism they provide. They’re bloody and violent, and put women in strong leading roles letting them kick ass. I’ll always settle in for Milla Jovovich…
Smallville (2003) – Extinction, and Slumber
Extinction first aired on 15 October, 2003 and was written by Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer. It walks a fine line, introducing a vigilante who is killing meteor-infected people, including Smallville High students. It’s a fine line, because in the open, Lana (Kristen Kreuk) is saved from a potential stalker and killer, who also had…

Star Trek: Vulcan’s Heart (1999) – Susan Shwartz, and Josepha Sherman
Vulcan’s Heart is a pretty expansive story, and a good one, even if it felt a little overlong at times. Set in the 2340s, the novel ties in a number of classic episodes into one tale. There is The Enterprise Incident from The Original Series, and The Next Generation episodes Yesterday’s Enterprise and the Unification…
The Woman in Green (1945) – Roy William Neill
Man, I really liked how this Sherlock Holmes adventure started out, but the second half kinda lost me. Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and Watson (Nigel Bruce) are back, and despite some goofy narration to set up the tale at the beginning, instead of letting the film tell the story, I was really engaged with the idea….
Jaws 50th Anniversary
What a great way to begin and end my TIFF experience this year. Even as TIFF celebrates its 50th year, so does my favourite movie of all time, Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. I’ve told the story countless times of how it was my first ever film experience. I’ve seen this movie more times than any others…
Stargate SG-1 (2005) – Citizen Joe, and Reckoning: Part 1
Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer Simpson, guest stars in Citizen Joe. Written by Damian Kindler from a story by Robert C. Cooper this episode debuted on 18 February, 2025. It’s a unique kind of clip show, with excerpts featuring the writing of Cooper, James Crocker, Peter DeLuise, Jonathan Glassner, Victoria James, Kindler, Joseph Mallozzi,…
