I’ve been here a long time, happy to be Senior Editor. My kids are ok with me being a nerd (at least I think so, but they’ve left home, so, like, who knows). Hubby rolls his eyes. Covering Outlander and a variety of other current shows, movies and books.
I love waking up to good news! This morning, Starz announced that Men In Kilts will return – but this time they’ll explore the Scottish heritage all over New Zealand! This is Graham McTavish’s home, and he has so much to show Sam – let’s hope they both survive the high-octane activities and the country’s […]
Rating: 5 Stars In the summer of 1969, violence came to the streets of Belfast. It wasn’t the first time, and surely wouldn’t be the last. But it became the backdrop to the lives of working people, people for whom these streets were home. One of those was a very young Kenneth Branagh, who recently […]
Do you have friends/sisters/wife/YOURSELF who loves Outlander, and who needs a gift for the holidays? Tired of giving the same old, same old? Of course, we have some new books coming out later this month – Diana’s ninth book in the series, Go Tell The Bees That I Have Gone, and a new book from […]
If you’ve hesitated watching AppleTV’s production of Foundation because you haven’t read the 60-year-old Isaac Asimov stories it’s based on, I strongly suggest you not let that hold you back. In fact, it may be an advantage to not have read the source material – like many other huge TV shows and movies based on […]
Today, Outlander took over New York City ComicCon! The show hosted a panel with Diana Gabaldon, Maril Davis, and Sam Heughan appearing in person, and John Bell, Lauren Lyle, Cesar Domboy, and Caitriona Balfe appearing remotely. They offered some insight into the upcoming Season 6 (still with no definite air date). This is a summary […]
Postponed a few times, highly anticipated, much discussed – No Time to Die, the latest James Bond outing, and final Bond for Daniel Craig, was released in the US this weekend. This completes Craig’s 5-film Bond arc – one that Craig himself originally wanted to end at four, after Spectre. Perhaps he should have, despite […]
Last week’s Star Trek Day brought a new trailer for one of my favorite ST series, Picard, and news that season 3 has been approved well before season 2 airs. Terrific news! But the first season left me with all kinds of questions, many of which were answered in part one of a newer trilogy […]
Yesterday, Sam Heughan’s most recent film made its second streaming platform debut. Formerly titled SAS: Red Notice when it ran on Amazon Prime earlier this year, the film was retitled SAS: Rise of the Black Swan when it arrived on Netflix (due to a conflict with an upcoming Dwayne Johnson film). The movie was based […]
There are some stories that just seem to stick and expand, some ideas that spawn huge numbers of new ideas. Blade Runner, the 1982 film adapted from a Philip K Dick short story (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep) is one of those stories. In 2017, a new – not remake – film, Blade Runner […]
