Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2011) – Water War, Gungan Attack, and Prisoners
“When destiny calls, the chosen have no choice.” Jose Molina pens the season four opener that debuted on 16 September, 2011. Anakin Skywalker (Matt Lanter) and Senator Padme Amidala (Catherine Taber) head to the planet of Mon Calamari which is on the brink of civil war between the native Mon Cals and the Quarren. The…
Gemini Man (2019) – Blu-Ray Review
It should have worked. An Academy Award winning director (though action is not his forte), a bankable lead actor, a solid supporting cast, and the seed of a solid story. Will Smith gets his Bourne on (a couple of times) in Gemini Man, the Ang Lee action film that comes home on blu-ray and DVD from…
Tiamat’s Wrath (2019) – James S.A. Corey
I say this every time I review one of these books. I love them! I love travelling with this crew, I love the way the story gets doled out, the way not only the action beats play out, but the emotional ones as well. And this book, literally had me cheering, laughing and weeping. After…
Hook (1991) – Steven Spielberg
“Oh there you are Peter.” That line makes me mist up every time I hear it, but it’s also from a film that I treasure for a number of reasons, and I got to revisit it for the first time in a number of years courtesy of DK Canada’s Monsters in the Movies book and…
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1998) – Once More Unto the Breach, and The Siege of AR-558

There are difficulties in the ancient warrior’s death wish because General Martok (J.G. Hertzler), who…
The Curse of La Llorona (2019) – Blu-Ray Review
While Warner Brothers may have some issues with its DC Extended Universe, it’s horror films set in The Conjuring Universe continue to do their job, deliver some solid scares (and some mediocre ones) and usually attracts solid casts. The Curse of La Llorona is the sixth film in the shared universe, connected, in this case,…
Star Wars: Han Solo at Star’s End (1979) – Brian Daley
Back in 1979 there wasn’t a lot in the way of Star Wars stories, there definitely wasn’t the Expanded Universe (now the Legends series) or the new canon series of novels. There were Marvel comics which were hokey but still fun, and before The Empire Strikes Back came along we had to use our imagination…
Creed II (2018) – Blu-Ray Review
Creed II hits blu-ray and DVD today from Warner Brothers, and it continues to prove it is its own beast, while embracing the Rocky-universe in which it is set. And this film does so even more than the first film, because, well this time, it’s personal. Tying in directly with Rocky IV – you know…
Indiana Jones and The Interior World (1992) – Rob MacGregor
1929 Easter Island Rob MacGregor comes to the end of his run on the Indiana Jones novels this week, and I have to say I’m rather thankful for it, because if you thought Kingdom of the Crystal was bad you have not read this book. This one is terrible, and it doesn’t come near anything…
