Stargate SG-1 (2004) – New Order: Part 1, and Part 2
Season eight gets underway on 9 July, 2004 with a two-part opener, New Order, written by Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie. Dr. Weir (Torri Higginson) has taken over Stargate Command, who is trying to keep things going, and negotiate use and access of the Antarctic discovery. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg, O’Neill…
Stargate SG-1 (2002/2003) – Prometheus, and Unnatural Selection
A news crew is a little too close to the truth when they discover information about the X-303, and the fact that it makes use of an element not found on Earth. As O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) and SG1 attempt to deal with the news team, they realize their troubles are just beginning in Prometheus….
Phantasm: Ravager (2016) – David Hartman
For the first time, Don Coscarelli lets someone else in the director’s chair for an entry in the Phantasm series (could you imagine a reboot, or a television series rework of this?) though he had his hand in the script as well as producing. Reggie (Reggie Bannister), Michael (A. Michael Baldwin), Jody (Bill Thornbury) and…

Monsters, Inc. (2001) – Peter Docter
The next recommendation from the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book following my screening of Toy Story is this Pixar classic starring Billy Crystal and John Goodman as two monsters trying to keep their world alive. Those noises under your bed, the shadow in the closet, they’re all real. Monsters come through to…
