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.

A classic investigation board appears in Caught By Love (dir. Kevin Fair, 2026).

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 […]

Directors Daniel Roher and Charlie Tyrell's documentary, The AI Doc: or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, benefits from a personal twist. Already in progress, the movie’s urgency amps up when Roher, who does the movie's interviewing, learns that he and his wife are about to become parents.   Given the many dire forecasts about AI Roher has already heard, he's understandably apprehensive about the life that awaits the child he'll be raising.  At first, Roher's questions seem motivated by a fear...

To appreciate the animated biopic, A Magnificent Life, a bit of background helps.    The name Marcel Pagnol (1895-1974) may not have the same kind of resonance with American audiences as French directors such as Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard. Even when it comes to movies of the 1930s, cineastes are probably more familiar with the work of Jean Renoir and Rene Clair, both of whom were Pagnol's contemporaries.    I'm being sketchy, of course, but I begin this way because Pagnol may...

Will Eisner (editor, script, pencils, inks) Joe Kubert (colors) Sam Rosen (letters) Spirit’s been overdue for a nice, wholesome story, so when Thomas Hawkins starts the strip getting out of prison and the guard says, “Once a killer, always a killer,” it’s concerning. The strip turns around immediately, however, as Spirit drops in to see … Continue reading The Spirit (May 25, 1941) “Thomas Hawkins”

Two friends to enemies meet in a hotel bar in the early hours. The years have passed since something happened to shatter their relationship, but emotions haven’t necessarily mellowed. Mark Bastin’s play The Dawn of Reckoning is a two-hander which unravels the broken friendship between Ruth (Jilly Bond), a children’s book illustrator, and Helena (Bryonie […]

Super sleuth Davrie Caro sent me this film showing customers leaving the Claremont Theater in New York City after the showing of the film On the Stroke of Twelve in 1915.  The weather is transitional, since some patrons are bundled … Continue reading →

A classic investigation/recap board appears in Troll 2 (dir. Roar Uthaug, 2025).

Blitzing through season one of Garrow’s Law (2009-11), I had a number of revelatory thoughts about it.

Theatre Centre’s Resident Writer, Debris Stevenson (co-adaptor of the RSC’s celebrated Cyrano de Bergerac) is on a mission to make…

Do actors who appeared on HBO's legendary Jersey-gangster drama have a higher rate of criminal-justice contact? Or is it just click-baiting by news desks? SDB looked into it.
