Invaders From Mars (1986) – Tobe Hooper
I remember when Invaders From Mars came out in 1986. I knew it was a remake, having read about it in Starlog magazine, and while I didn’t recognize the names of those involved as I grew they would become very familiar to me. What I remember most is reading the novelization when I grabbed it…
If It Bleeds (2020)- Stephen King
Stephen King knows how to tell a story and his short story/novella collections are always guaranteed to entertain. This one took me a while to get this one, but once I heard that the novella, If It Bleeds was a Holly Gibney story set after the events of The Outsider it raced up my to-be-read…
Pontypool (2008) – Bruce McDonald
Bruce McDonald directs this unique take on the zombie film which was written by Tony Burgess, which he adapted from his own novel. The film is set predominantly in one location, the sound booth of a radio station, and features strong performances from Stephen McHattie, Lisa Houle, and Georgina Reilly. McHattie, who is always a…
World War Z (2013) – Marc Forster
I was reticent to watch World War Z when it was first released. Not because it was Brad Pitt, but because I knew there was no way to faithfully adapt and honor Max Brooks novel on which the film is based. So now, ten years later, I was finally ready for it. And while it…
Sharksploitation (2023) – Stephen Scarlata
Sharks. Since Peter Benchley’s iconic 1974 novel, Jaws, they have been a ready-to-use monster for Hollywood moviemakers. With Steven Spielberg’s big-screen adaptation of the novel, sharks became the ‘it thing’ for films. However, they were arguably already on their way to being cast as the baddie thanks to some casting in the 60s Bond films….
Logan’s Run (1967) – William F. Nolan, and George Clayton Johnson
I loved the movie when I first saw Logan’s Run, I was too young to really understand what was going on, and while everyone my age was very excited over Farah Fawcett, this was my first introduction to Jenny Agutter, and I had one of my first crushes. I’ve seen the film a number of…

Sean Connery, Michelle Pfeiffer, Roy Scheider, James Fox, John Mahoney, and J.T. Walsh star in the cinematic adaptation of John Le Carre’s novel, The Russia House. Written for the screen by Tom Stoppard, the film was the first, big Western film to be shot on location in the Soviet Union. Featuring a gorgeous score by…
Patriot Games (1992) – Phillip Noyce
I remember when I was first introduced to the world of Tom Clancy. I was always the biggest reader in my class, I always had a book on the go. In Grade 9, my friend Michael Hay came into class (for some reason I believe it was our French class, and he had the book…
All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) – Edward Berger
I missed All Quiet on the Western Front when it screened at TIFF. I just couldn’t make it work with my schedule, so when it dropped on Netflix, you can be assured it went to the front of my viewing queue. Berger’s film, based on the iconic novel by Erich Maria Remarque, is a stunning…
