I remember my friend Dennis raving about Farscape, but everytime I tried to get into it, I wouldn’t get hooked. But I found the key, if you could get to the episode PK Tech Girl, you would be hooked. Having only gotten through the series once, I decided it’s time for a rewatch and can’t…

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,…
Love and Monsters (2020) – Michael Matthews
The charming and likeable Dylan O’Brien stars in the adventure comedy Love and Monsters which serves as a bit of a coming-of-age tale for his character, Josh.

One Piece: Season 1 – East Blue, Part 1
It’s hard to know where to start with anime, and with it all laid out before you on a streaming service like Crunchyroll, even with suggestions, it can be a little intimidating. But at Fan Expo this year, an anime called One Piece seemed to be everywhere, so that looked like a good place to…
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) – 4K Review
I was delightfully surprised by Paramount Pictures Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Things, but if I had known that John Francis Daley was involved, I wouldn’t have been. Daley has been a delight since I came across him in Freaks and Geeks, and whether in front of or behind the camera, he’s always fantastic (check…
Destroy All Monsters (1968) – Ishiro Honda & Jun Fukuda
I’ll be honest, this is the first Godzilla movie I’ve watched that I didn’t pay attention to any of the actors or their arcs, I was just having too much fun with the monster mashing, the model work, and the way the mythology of the monster-verse has expanded to include so many creatures, aliens, and…

The sequel, A Quiet Place Part II, written and directed by Krasinski, is now available on 4K,…

It’s time for another close encounter with alien beings in the next title from DK Canada’s Monsters in the Movies, this time, the creature’s are earthbound, and despite the titles are they really monsters?

The Magic Sword (1962) – Bert I. Gordon
Basil Rathbone stars in the next film featured in DK Canada’s immensely enjoyable Monsters in the Movies book. As I delve into the chapter on Dragons & Dinosaurs I’m, so far coming across a number of films I had never even heard of. This family fantasy adventure is another one. Rathbone plays the evil wizard Lodac,…
