I have to say, today’s venture into Fan Expo was a good one. After too long apart, I was reunited with my creative partner, Sue Lawley-Maynard. Can you believe we hadn’t seen each other in person since before covid? There was a point that if one of us was around then the other was probably…

Alex (Micheal J. Fox) comes down with Daddy Fever when he helps his parents out with their Lamaze class, and becomes enchanted with the idea of becoming the father to the child of a single mother in Oh, Donna. Written by Alan Uger, this episode was first broadcast on 3 January, 1985. Initially dismissive of…
Back to the Future: Part III (1990) – Robert Zemeckis
My last stop in the Sci-Fi Chronicles book is the final trip with Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) in Back to the Future: Part III. From the film’s opening credits you know this will be a different adventure, the triumphant theme by Alan Silvestri gives way to a stirring romantic…
Back to the Future: Part II (1989) – Robert Zemeckis
My time with the Sci-Fi Chronicles is coming to a close, and I made sure it ended with a couple of my fave films, from one of my favourite trilogies… Back to the Future: Part II. Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd bring the beloved time travelling pair of Marty McFly and Doc Brown to…
We Don’t Need Roads: The Making of the Back to the Future Trilogy (2015) – Caseen Gaines
As soon as I heard this book was coming out, I jumped at the chance to pick mine up. As anyone who knows me will tell you, I love Back to the Future, and Michael J. Fox has long been one of my heroes. Heck, I was even lucky enough to get to pose…

Back To The Future (1985) – Robert Zemeckis
I love this movie so much! It’s always a joy to watch, and it puts me right back in 1985, I remember seeing it, reading the novel on my way to school, I remember playing the soundtrack over and over until the ink of the track listings was completely faded, I even got myself a…
Fistful of Dollars (1964)
Clint Eastwood. No matter what other films he makes, or made, He will be the man who will be forever remembered for revitalizing the Western genre, not once but twice. The second time, is my all time favorite western, Unforgiven (1992), and the first was a small low-budget film shot in Spain, known in…
Back To The Future at the Digital Film Festival
There are few movies guaranteed to plaster a smile on my face every time I see them. Back To The Future is, however, one of them. I actually realized this today when I was watching it for who-knows-how-many-times-I’ve-seen-it. In between mouthing my favorite lines as they came up, there would be a huge grin plastered…
Michael J Fox
Michael J. Fox. His name is entwined inextricably with the 80s, and our hearts. He has also shown up a lot recently in my life, not the man himself, but his presence. I’ve been rewatching Family Ties, I’m working my way through season 2 even now, and loving every minute of it, and I’ve also…
