It’s time to wrap up the Ori storyline for Stargate SG-1. But saying it and doing it are two different things, as Mitchell (Ben Browder), Carter (Amanda Tapping), Teal’c (Christopher Judge), Vala (Claudia Black) and Jackson (Micheal Shanks) are going to have their hands full. They have found the weapon that could stop the Ori,…

Vala (Claudia Black) is back. Kind of. As we dive into the penultimate episode of season nine. Crusade was written by Robert C. Cooper (he also directed it) and it first aired on 3 March, 2006.

Stargate SG-1 (2006) – The Scourge, and Arthur’s Mantle
SG-1 is given a babysitting detail when the International Oversight Advisory committee wants to visit the Gamma Site.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) – Matthew Vaughn
I greatly enjoyed the Kingsman when I first saw it. It was this perfect blend of Bond films with comic book level violence and lots of swearing. It wasn’t afraid to have fun with its concept, and remind the world that these style of movies are just supposed to be fun. The sequel, Kingsman: The…
Excalibur (1981) – John Boorman
Like a series of pre-Raphaelite paintings brought to life, director John Boorman infuses the screen with magic and beauty as he delves into the myth of King Arthur and delivers what would become the gold standard for cinematic interpretations of the English legend. Each frame is a work of art as the story follows the…
Indiana Jones and the Dance of the Giants (1991) – Rob MacGregor
Scotland 1925 I jump back into adventure with the man with the hat, as my travels with Indiana Jones continue in the officially licensed (and therefore canon until films prove them otherwise) series of novels that fill in the time between Hollywood Follies (The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones) to The Temple of Doom. Tying…
