I remember when Shutter Island hit the cinemas, and then hit home video, everyone was raving about it. When I finally had a chance to watch it, I had the mystery figured out pretty quickly, though I will say it was wonderfully executed. Scorsese delivers a gorgeous looking film, and makes great use of visual…

Mister Magic (2023) – Kiersten White
Kiersten White’s Mister Magic is an unnerving and spooky tale that definitely has a commentary on religion and those who believe. Mister Magic was a radio program, and later a television show that ran until the 90s when the final episode ended in tragedy. It seems a number of people remember the show, and remember…
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan – The Making of the Classic Film (2023) – John Tenuto and Maria Jose Tenuto
I remember seeing The Wrath of Khan in theatres. It blew me away. Even as a child I loved The Motion Picture, the grandeur, the beauty and the effects, but The Wrath of Khan was a completely different experience and I was left stunned by what I had seen. I remember there were a couple…
Avatar: The Last Airbender – Book 2: Earth (2006) – Zuko Alone, The Chase, and Bitter Work
Zuko Alone, written by Elizabeth Welch Ehasz, first aired on 12 May 2006. Zuko (Dante Basco) is on his own, and the episode explores his character and his past as he recalls his conflict with his father, Ozai the Firelord (Mark Hamill), as well as the fate of his mother, Ursa (Jen Cohn). The episode…
Men In Black: International (2019) – F. Gary Gray
The fourth film in the Men In Black franchise is a bit of a letdown. There are no real surprises in the story or reveals, which is too bad, because it opens the world up a touch by introducing us to different branches around the globe, and it’s got a solid cast including Tessa Thompson,…
Insidious: The Red Door (2023) – Patrick Wilson
Patrick Wilson makes his directorial debut with the fifth (and final?) Insidious film that takes us back to the Lambert family, checking in on them nine years after the events of Insidious 2, which was the last time the family was featured as the main characters in the series. There are some fun ideas here,…
The Impossible Fortress (2017) – Jason Rekulak
I loved Rekulak’s Hidden Pictures, so when I checked to see what else he’d written and discovered he’d penned a coming-of-age story in the 80s with characters who were exactly the same age I was in the year 1987, I had to check it out. And I LOVED it. The Impossible Fortress takes us into…
