Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) – Steve Barron
I missed most of the TMNT craze while I was a teenager in Bermuda. While I was out in Halifax, tthe family I lived with had a son who was obsessed! He loved the cartoon, and I got to know some of it from that. I read some of the original Eastman-Laird black and white…
Star Trek: The Legacy of Lazarus (1971)
Len Wein takes over writing duties for Gold Keys Star Trek title, while Alberto Giolitti continues delivering wonderful art (even if the characters and locations don’t always look the way the should). Found on comic spinners for February 1971, Wein’s first story was The Legacy of Lazarus. The splash page makes fans recall The Savage…
TIFF 25: The Furious dir. Kenji Tanigaki
The Furious is a balls-to-the-wall actioner that is outrageously over-the-top but incredibly crowd-pleasing in its violence and action beats. Having said that, the ADR in the film is terrible, and I honestly think the entire film should just be subtitled. The film has a strong enough appeal that I don’t think it needed to have…
Star Trek: Spectre (1998) – William Shatner with Garfield and Judith Reeves-Stevens
William Shatner doles out another ‘Kirk is the best captain ever’ tale with the Reeves-Stevens helping him out. I make it sound like I didn’t like the book, I did, but I hate how even now, Shatner, goes out of the way to make sure that Kirk is portrayed as the smartest, strongest, most attractive…

Confess, Fletch (2022) – Greg Mottola
I loved the 1985 Fletch adaptation starring Chevy Chase, and I’ve read a few of Gregory McDonald’s novels, and have been eager to see the iconic and laconic investigative reporter return to the screen. That journey has been long and arduous and has seen many creative people involved in trying to resurrect the character. Greg…
