Elio (2025) – Adrian Molina, Madeline Sharafian, and Domee Shi
It’s been awhile since I settled in for a Pixar movie. In fact, I’ve fallen behind on them, and have a nice list to catch up on for the blog. Elio (Yonas Kibreab) has gone to live with his aunt, Olga (Zoe Saldana), after his parents die. Olga works for the space administration, but with…
King Sorrow (2025) – Joe Hill
Joe Hill delivers an epic Faustian novel with King Sorrow. A tale that spans decades, Hill entertains and horrifies as he guides seven friends through a terrible deal that they have made with an unnatural creature, a murderous dragon from the Long Dark. Yes, a dragon, set in the modern world. Sounds kind of iffy,…

The Wick-verse expands again with John Wick: Chapter 4 in a story that takes us from New York to Japan to Paris, and Keanu Reeves’ Wick is kicking ass all the way. Determined to reach the High Table will require that he return to the fold and be of service. But his target, the Marquis…
The Maid’s Secret (2025) – Nita Prose
I love checking in with Molly the Maid. After two novels and one novella, I’m quite willing to see where Nita Prose takes the character. So I dug into this one without having read a thing about it. I just wanted to see how Molly, Juan, Mr. Preston, Mr. Snow, Stark, and Angela were doing….
TIFF 25: Kokuho dir. Lee-Sang Il
Kokuho is an epic tale, a decades-long story that takes us inside the world of kabuki, and features some outstanding performances. Kikuo (Ryo Yoshizawa) has always had a talent as an onnagata. These are the female characters in kanubi shows, all played by men. He’s taken in by Hanjiro Hanai (Ken Watanabe!!), who will serve…

This is it. The final ninety minutes of Farscape. Is it all going to pay off? Am I going to be happy with how it all ends? Airing on 18 October, 2004, the night after the first part, making it a two night event. Part two of The Peacekeeper Wars was written by series creator…
Lost Man’s Lane (2024) – Scott Carson
Scott Carson delivers a book I just couldn’t put down with Lost Man’s Lane. Combining nostalgia for the end of the 20th century with a twist of supernatural thriller, the tale is a coming-of-age story that is by turns frightening and beautifully told. Marshall and his mom are living their lives in quiet Bloomington. When…
Suicide Kings (1997) – Peter O’Fallon
I don’t think I gave this one the attention it was due when it first came out. I remember watching it, but not paying as much attention to it as I should. Watching it now, I enjoyed it quite a lot. It’s got a great cast, and a tight script. A group of friends find…
