Looks like we’re introducing another familiar DC character to the Smallville-verse, Cyborg! First airing on 16 February, 2006, this episode was written by Caroline Dries. Victor Stone (Lee Thompson Young) is the victim of experiments by LuthorCorp, turning him into a cybernetic being, and Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) wants him back. But Victor has a new…

Star Trek: #20 – Giri (1985)
For issue 20 of DC Comics ongoing Star Trek series, which was on stands until November 1985, Wenonah Woods pens a Sulu story that saw Tom Sutton on pencils and Ricardo Villagran on inks. This will be the third issue exploring supporting character stories, which is good, I just hope it’s a solid tale. Let’s…
Smallville (2006) – Vengeance, and Tomb
Clark (Tom Welling) and Martha (Annette O’Toole) are still coming to terms with the death of Jonathan (John Schneider), but the world, sadly, doesn’t stop while we grieve, and there is trouble afoot in Metropolis as a new female vigilante is on the streets. She arrives just in time to save Martha from some thugs,…
Six Days Seven Nights (1998) – Ivan Reitman
I’ve always been a Harrison Ford fan, and I remember seeing this in the theatre when it came out and not quite loving it. There was a lot of stuff overshadowing it at the time, if I recall. Consequently, I haven’t watched it since it came on. But I felt now was the time. And…
Red Sonja (1985) – Richard Fleischer
It’s too bad this one wasn’t better. It could have been a lot of fun. Insttead, it’s releegated to cult status and is a delightful, but flawed romp. Arnold Schwarzenegger is obviously playing Conan, but they can’t call him Conan in this sword and sorcery adventure that introduced the world to Brigitte Nielsen, the towering,…
Stargate: Atlantis (2008) – Remnants, and Brain Storm
Remnants puts Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) into some serious trouble on the mainland. He’s gone along on a biological expedition because he found one of the scientists attractive. It’s too bad he finds the subject boring. But things escalate when he finds himself confronting… Kolya (Robert Davi)?! Aren’t you dead? On Atlantis, Woolsey (Robert Picardo) is…
The Secret of Secrets (2025) – Dan Brown
Dan Brown sends his hero Robert Langdon off on another adventure with his latest novel, The Secret of Secrets. And I’m divided. I like the research and the information Brown is putting forth, it opens up a number of avenues for questions and research, but, the story doesn’t have the same punch and push as…
Superman: Dawnbreaker (2019) – Matt de la Pena
I’m going to restart Smallville this week. I never finished it when it was airing and writing about them guarantees that I have to watch them all and explore the whole series. And since Superman has always been a hero of mine, I’ve also been scouring for a good Superman novel. Dawnbreaker is that. Giving…
Get Smart (1965) – Mr. Big, Diplomat’s Daughter, and School Days
In the 1960s, spies were everywhere! They were in novels, comics, on the big screen, and had spread to television. Created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, Get Smart debuted on 18 September, 1965 and introduced us to CONTROL’s agent 86, Maxwell Smart (Don Adams). Filled with goofy gadgets, like the shoe phone, Smart is…
Sherlock Holmes Faces Death (1943) – Roy William Neill
Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and Watson (Nigel Bruce) are back, and this time out, their story takes its inspiration from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual.’ They left behind some of the World War II storylines, though it still has an influence. Watson is voluneering at a convalescence home housed on the…
