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…

Tequila Sunrise (1988) – Robert Towne
I enjoyed seeing Kurt Russell and Michelle Pfeiffer in The Madison, and then I remembered they’d worked together in Tequila Sunrise. Written and directed by Robert Towne, the film is a neo-noir film that entertains. The pair are joined by Mel Gibson (and makes me lament what he’s done to himself) and Raul Julia. Dale…
Seed of Chucky (2004) – Don Mancini
Don Mancini, the driving force behind the Chucky movies, having written all the scripts, finally gets to settle in to the director’s chair as he continues to take the series in fun and interesting directions. This one definitely plays a little more meta than other entries. Chucky (Brad Dourif) and Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) are back,…

Firefly (2002) – Objects in Space
This is it, the final episode of the series. Which is frustrating, because you can see the potential in each and every one of these episodes. It was written and directed by Joss Whedon. It aired on 13 December, 2002. River’s (Summer Glau) issues seem to be escalating, and someone has found her. A bounty…

Firefly (2002) – The Message, and Heart of Gold
The Message was broadcast out of order on Fox (nice going dumbasses) after the series had already been cancelled and cut from the schedule (did I mention the dumbass part?). It aired, finally, on 28 July, 2003. It was written by Joss Whedon and Tim Minear. Minear also served as director. This is the episode…
Get Smart (1969) – The Not-So-Great Escape: Part 2, Pheasant Under Glass, and Ironhand
Season 4 of Get Smart ended on 29 March, 1969. Chris Hayward and Arne Sultan penned the script, and Don Adams once again directed the episode. Smart (Adams) and his fellow CONTROL agents are planning to escape the KAOS prison camp in New Jersey, and there will be lots of riffing on the classic film….
Firefly (2002) – Our Mrs. Reynolds, and Jaynestown
The problematic Joss Whedon wrote Our Mrs. Reynolds which had an air date of 4 October, 2002, and introduced a character that not only had a huge effect on Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion), but also on viewers. The stunning Christina Hendricks appears as Saffron, a woman who shows up on Serenity claiming to be Mal’s…
