Stargate SG-1 (2005) – Moebius: Part 1, and Part 2
The season eight finale for Stargate SG-1 is an enjoyable two part romp. Seeing as the Replicators have been taken care of, and the Goa’uld system lords are nicely crippled, however will the season end? Part 1 of Moebius first aired on 18 March, 2005. The episode features a teleplay by Joseph Mallozzi and Paul…
Farscape (2001) – … Different Destinations, and Eat Me
In a series that has characters, moments and stories I love, …Different Destinations may be one of my favorites. First airing on 13 April, 2001 it was written by Steve Worland. While Moya is doing some cleaning that requires some downtime, Aeryn (Claudia Black), Crichton (Ben Browder), D’Argo (Anthony Simcoe), Stark (Paul Goddard) and Jool…
Timeline (2003) – Richard Donner
I love Richard Donner films, I love Michael Crichton books, seems like a solid match, but the big-screen adaptation of Crichton’s Timeline feels a little lackluster. It boasts a solid cast, Paul Walker, Gerard Butler, Frances O’Connor, Billy Connolly, Anna Friel, Neal McDonough, and Michael Sheen. There’s an archaeology study and dig going on at…
Forever and a Day (2018) – Anthony Horowitz
Anthony Horowitz delivers another fast-paced 007 spy thriller with some material written by the series creator Ian Fleming. Set just before the events of the novel, Casino Royale, the story follows James Bond as he gets his two assigned kills to get his Double-O number, and throws him into a case that helps shape the…
Trigger Mortis (2015) – Anthony Horowitz
Anthony Horowitz takes over the 007 mantle with his novel Trigger Mortis. Using some material written by Ian Fleming, Horowitz sets his novel two weeks after the events of Goldfinger, the book not the film, in 1957. James Bond has returned to the UK, accompanied by Pussy Galore, though that’s not going to turn out…
Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) – Dean Parisot
Bill & Ted came along at just the right time in my life. In 1989, I was a senior in high school, and the characters, their speech, and their general attitudes resonated with me. I joined them on their Excellent Adventure a couple of times in theaters, and in 1991 when they went on a…
The Mummy’s Curse (1944) – Leslie Goodwins
The Mummy’s Curse feels like a wasted opportunity. Once again Lon Chaney Jr. seems to get short shrift without much to do in this installment of the Universal Monsters series. I have a couple of problems with this one. My first issue, this entry barely runs an hour and a good quarter of it is…
Devil May Care (2008) – Sebastian Faulks
Sebastian Faulks brings us the first post-Raymond Benson 007 novel. Picking up shortly after the final Ian Fleming novel, not short story collection, The Man with The Golden Gun finds James Bond on sabbatical in 1967. He’s not resting for long, as M calls him in to have him investigate Julius Gorner, who not only…
