Avatar: The Last Airbender – Book 1: Water – The Blue Spirit, The Fortuneteller, and Bato of the Water Tribe
Zhao (Jason Isaacs) gets promoted to admiral in his search for the Avatar, and he recruits several expert archers to help him. Iroh (Mako) is happy for him, but Zuko (Dante Basco) is less than thrilled, in The Blue Spirit. Written by series creators Micheal Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, this episode debuted on 17…
Family Ties (1985) – The Real Thing: Part 1, Part 2, and Mr. Wrong
Forgetting the ridiculous television movie, the fourth season got underway on 26 September, 1985 and was written by Micheal J. Weithorn. It brought about a change for Alex and for the actor who portrayed him, Micheal J. Fox. Alex is in his second year at Leland and he’s trying to decide what freshmen to ask…
Wonderfalls (2004) – Wax Lion, and Pink Flamingos
This week, I’m diving into the classic Bryan Fuller series, Wonderfalls. The show definitely did not get the love it deserved at the time, mainly because Fox, in their usual way of screwing over genre shows, aired them out of order. In fact, they only aired four episodes, leaving nine unaired, but the series found…
Anna and the Apocalypse (2017) – John McPhail
A Christmas Zombie Horror Musical Comedy sounds like a definite win. I missed Anna and the Apocalypse when it played at Toronto After Dark a few years ago, and I was a little bummed about it. But now that the holidays have rolled around, I figured I could take a look at it and figure…
Godzilla Raids Again (1955) – Motoyoshi Oda
Even before Godzilla came ashore in North America with the recut 1954 feature Godzilla (Gojira)/Godzilla: King of the Monsters!, a sequel was unleashed on Japan with Godzilla Raids Again. Gone are the more serious overtones of the first film, the commentary and subtext; the exploration of radiation and its effects on the Japanese, the still…
Midsommar (2019) – Ari Aster
Writer/director Ari Aster’s follow-up to his unnerving horror film, Hereditary, is another menacing, and ominous story, Midsommar. Florence Pugh stars as Dani, a traumatised young woman, who is dealing with personal grief, and a crumbling love life, when she learns that her boyfriend, Christian (Jack Reynor) and a number of his buddies, some are doing…
Moon Over Soho (2011) – Ben Aaronovitch
Constable Peter Grant returns to investigate the supernatural in the second novel in the Rivers of London series written by Ben Aaronovitch. Picking up about six months after the first book, the novel sees Grant still dealing with the fallout from the events of the first novel, particularly the attack that left his friend, and…
The Diamond Queen of Singapore (2020) – Ian Hamilton
Somehow, with all the wackiness that was happening last year, I missed the House of Anansi Press’ release of the next Ava Lee novel by Ian Hamilton. Of course, that just meant I could catch up on it now, and I won’t have quite as long a wait (theoretically) for the next one. This time…
Moonlighting (1989) – In ‘N Outlaws, Eine Kleine Nacht Murder, and Lunar Eclipse
This is it, the last instalment in my viewing of Moonlighting. The fifth season comes to a conclusion with this post, so lets dig into the last trio of episodes. First up is In ‘N Outlaws. Written by Marc Abraham, this Agnes DiPesto (Allyce Beasley) story first aired on 23 April, 1989. Agnes is preparing…
