Bring Her Back (2025) – Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou
That’s two for two for the Philippous as far as I’m concerned. I was delightfully impressed with how much I enjoyed Talk to Me. And as soon as I discovered they had another film out there, it shot right to the top of my viewing list. And Bring Her Back, it’s an experience. It’s unnerving,…
Death at a Funeral (2007) – Frank Oz
Frank Oz directs this uproariously funny film that puts the ‘fun’ in funeral, and amps up the hilarity by setting it in England. There’s just something horrendously funny about things going wrong around Brits, as they try to maintain some manner of decorum, dignity and civility. Daniel (Matthew Macfadyen) is mourning the loss of his…
Farscape (2001) – The Choice, and Fractures

Crichton (Ben Browder) is dead, Aeryn (Claudia Black) is grieving, and has left the leviathan. She’s dealing with the loss of Crichton, the conflict with her mother, and all the choices…

Stargate SG-1 (2004) – Chimera, and Death Knell
Osiris (Anna-Louise Plowman) is haunting Daniel’s (Micheal Shanks) dreams as her former self, and his former lover, Sarah. What is Osiris up to? Does it have something to do with the Lost City?

The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet (2014) – Becky Chambers
When I get into a book that I’m really enjoying reading it gets to the point that I see it all in my mind’s eye. Some books not only get the theater of the mind rolling, but make me feel at home and comfortable with the characters and the environment within pages of starting and…
Stargate SG-1 (1997) – Fire and Water, and Hathor
SG-1 returns to the SGC with sad news, it seems Jackson (Michael Shanks) is dead. Or at least that is the way O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson), Carter (Amanda Tapping) and Teal’c (Christopher Judge) remember it. Fire and Water was written by Kathryn Powers from a story she developed with Brad Wright, one of the showrunners….
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2021) – Dean Fleischer Camp
Dean Fleischer Camp directed this faux documentary that follows a tiny shell, named Marcel, as he discovers a measure of internet fame, its upside and down, and a measure of loss and the importance of family and change. Filled with beautiful stop-motion animation blended brilliantly with live action, the story finds Camp playing a version…
