E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) – William Kotzwinkle
So, I’ve been jonesing to re-read the 1985 paperback, E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet. I’ve had it since it came out, and have only read it once. I remember one scene in it, but that’s all I can recall. Since it and the original adaptation of the Melissa Matheson screenplay were written by…
Undertone (2025) – Ian Tuason
Undertone is a smart and engaging horror film. With its slow and ominous camera movements, there’s a constant sense of tension created by the knowledge that there may be something lurking just off camera that you are about to catch a glimpse of. It’s also confined to one location, a home (right here in Toronto)….

Get Smart (1968) – Snoopy Smart vs. The Red Baron, Closely Watched Planes, and The Secret of Sam Vittorio
I’m huge fan of the Snoopy vs. The Red Baron song, and this episode of Get Smart riffs on that. Written by Mike Marmer this episode debuted on 28 September, 1968. Maxwell Smart (Don Adams), 99 (Barbara Feldon) and the Chief (Edward Platt) end up in potato country to investigate KAOS new plan to sabotage…
