Kirk is on well-earned vacation with his family this week, but the comics at West End Comics keep on coming! So it was with great excitement that I dug into this week’s pull list, though it was rather smaller than my usual haul, it was still food with great stuff!! Escape From New York (Boom…

Magnum, p.i. (1982) – Flashback and Foiled Again
This week’s installment features yet another favorite episode of mine (though let’s be honest, I have a lot of those in this series). Flashback was written by Lance Madrid III, and aired 4 November, 1982. Thomas (Tom Selleck) awakes to find himself in 1936, with a strange knowledge of a case he’s asked to…
Magnum, P.I. (1980) – Don’t Eat the Snow in Hawaii (Parts I & II)
I’m jumping ahead to the next Bellisario title, Magnum, P.I., while I fight with my computer and try to get more Airwolf to watch. That’s not a bad thing though, because this is my second favorite Bellisario show ever, and I am so looking forward to revisiting this one! I can’t even begin to…
Pulp Fiction (1994) – Quentin Tarantino
Pulp Fiction, quite possibly the best film in Tarantino’s oeuvre, is the next title in the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film comedy section for me to take a look at. While not necessarily a full-out comedy, it is neither a full-out drama nor thriller either. What it does have is a fantastic…
The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window and Disappeared (2009) – Jonas Jonasson
I’d heard about this book, and finally found time to enjoy this Forrest Gump-like adventure. It was a pure delight, engaging, heart-warming, often very funny (I occasionally chuckled on my transit ride to and from work, eliciting the occasional odd glance). Allan Karlsson is turning 100 today, and he’s decided that he’s had enough of…
Signs (2002) – M. Night Shyamalan
The 101 Sci-Fi Movies list is drawing to an end, and it allowed me to rewatch M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs with Mel Gibson. It’s easy to jump right to the end, and complain about the idea that if these aliens were so afraid of water, apparently it can kill them… why take a chance…
Jacob’s Ladder (1990)
At first blush, this horrific, paranoid thriller more than earns its place on the 101 Horror Movies list, because some of the imagery is frightening, couched as it is in everyday surroundings. When viewed knowing the film’s ending, and in this day and age, it’s kind of tough not to, and even if you don’t…
