The electrifying first Broadway revival of Chess thrills with its starry cast and a new book that brings real stakes and much needed humour to its gloriously melodious score.  Infamously tricky to […]

It's one of those weird post-blockbuster weeks with a bunch of docs and a lot of random-ish stuff at Boston Common! Hey, the guy who made Why Don't You Just Die?, Kirill Sokolov, has his first English language feature, They Will Kill You. It stars Zazie Beetz as a young woman who gets a job as a housekeeper in an exclusive building, room and board included. What she doesn't know is that she's

This is Not a Murder Mystery (2025) has been out for a while in the

🍿 Project Hail Mary (2026) was the perfect family movie that pushed all the right buttons. Message: good things are good, bad things are bad, knowledge is power. Tone: earnest friendship and collaboration over cynicism and bickering. Visuals: Dune-level cinematography with many practical effects and no CGI-generated characters in sight. Sound: I don’t know which I enjoyed more, the soundtrack or the score. Yes, you should go see it, even if you haven’t read the book. And do bring the kids.

I do not have all of it – there should be 9 hours of love (what I do have seems to be in the sequence below, in four parts – with Eng subs, but with a large section, that I think is the start of part 2, which includes an interview with Soterdijk [possibly this]... Continue Reading →

“Tonight I want to welcome you to a showing of a naughty little number I made with my own money – $800,000 of it.” – Gloria Swanson introducing Queen Kelly in 1967 Silent cinema icon Gloria Swanson was born on this day in 1899. Today, 127 years later, is the publication day for my new … Continue reading Publication day: The Curse of Queen Kelly →

On the splash page, we discover this higher purpose: to prepare Earth’s heroes to stop the … Continue reading All-Star Comics (1976) #74

I have written more words about film in 2026 than I have about technology and business. This has not escaped your attention — so much so that real-life and internet friends alike have requested that I create an RSS feed excluding my film reviews. (By the way, I did that.) I don't think I've actually written anywhere about why I've gotten so into movies, or why I write about them, and this seems as good a time as any.

The first recording today starts with a trail for Copycats. There’s also a trail for Sorry I’ve Got No Head. Then it’s The Sarah Jane Adventures – The Gift – Part 2. Mr Smith clears all the spores out of the air before they can infect Sarah Jane and Luke any more. Luke is still very ill, and […]

i mentioned a few posts back that i was doing a watch-through of the ghost in the shell: stand alone complex anime series. i made it a few episodes into season 2 before deciding to pause [...]

The late 70s British gangster movie is the kind of movie they don't make anymore, and honestly weren't making back then, either

Yesterday, I got to watch one of the most anticipated films of the year on the big screen.

THE STRANGE AFFAIR (1968), directed by David Greene, is one I’d always been interested in– I like his SEBASTIAN and I START COUNTING a whole bunch. But this one seemed to have vanished. The idea of Michael York as a police constable (Peter Strange) in swinging London is an intriguing one. The film doesn’t ultimately […]

YouTube: After a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street from suburbia and transports their neighborhood to someplace unknown, the Platt family soon discovers that their very survival depends on them sticking together as they navigate their now unrecognizable surroundings. Hits theaters on August 14, 2026, and was previously titled Flowervale Street. Heck of a cast, […]

by Cora Buhlert In my last article, I wrote about the East German science fiction film Signals: A Space Adventure, which in spite of a star-studded cast and impressive special effects ultimately was not nearly as good as I'd hoped. Now I want to introduce you to another work of filmic fantastica from beyond the … Continue reading [March 26, 1971] A Czech Delight: Pan Tau → The post [March 26, 1971] A Czech Delight: <i>Pan Tau</i> appeared first on Galactic Journey.

How did the Chinese adaptation of South Korea's My Mister fare?

I was mostly bored by this film. The antagonist is supposed to be a fearsome void, but I was mostly annoyed with his questions, like the detective. After about halfway through and I realized where things were going, my mind started to wander to other, better, examples of psychological control. Hannibal (the TV series) immediately comes to mind; he's able to believably and chillingly control others because he has sunken deep into their wounds and uses an individual's pressure points against th...

The first recording today starts with the end of Raven. There’s a trailer for Timmy Time. Plus a trail for Deadly 60. Then it’s The Sarah Jane Adventures – The Gift – Part 1. It starts with Sarah Jane and co chasing a fat kid. Seems like bullying to me. Oh wait, it’s a Slitheen, so that’s OK. They […]
