Project A (1983) - Dir Jackie Chan. Stars Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung and Dick Wei. An old favourite to see out the weekend. This colonial caper has it all. Fights, stunts, laughs and enough back breaking falls to keep chiropractors in employment for years.

Silent Night absolutely would have been ten times better if Kinnaman went on his kill crazy rampage wearing the same fuzzy nose Rudolph sweater and jingle bell from the opening scene.

Jacob Ethington Saw elsewhere how the spines popping out are akin to control rods rising in a reactor, and intentional parallel or not, that made the imagery & mechanics of G:MO’s atomic breath even more compelling

Silent Night (2023) - Woo does a full on Death Wish/Punisher with Kinnaman fighting cartoonish gangbangers. Action is pretty fun, especially a Raid-esque staircase battle and a wildly OTT finale, but when the bullets aren’t flying and we’re stuck with Kinnaman … oy.

Sad to hear of the passing of Frances Sternhagen at the age of 93; a welcome presence when ever she showed up; remember her most as Cliff's mom on CHEERS, and the tough old lady who almost makes it in THE MIST, and why didn't they ever cast her as Aunt May?

Farscape S1E16 - “A Human Reaction” - Crichton thinks he’s gone home but it’s really just an alien illusion designed to test humanity. Again, super Star Trekky. More sexy times with Crichton and Aeryn though, which I am for as they are very good looking. C+

Ok, I need to crowdsource a book ID that my friends and I read when we were kids but can’t remember the title:

Sci-fi about two people who basically quantum leap around in time, one of them ends up becoming Napoleon and chooses to stay and live out life as Napoleon. Pre-1994.

After my recent Godzilla binge, I had to check out more from Takao Okawara, and OROCHI, THE EIGHT-HEADED DRAGON (1994) was glorious. Fantasy tokusatsu spectacle relentlessly eager to please with a whirlwind of gods, magic, lasers, space crystals, and mystic kaiju

In ASHKAL, a police procedural investigating mysterious immolations becomes entangled in supernatural eeriness and the lingering scars of Tunisia’s dictatorship. Cold, deliberate, and politically charged, like X-Files, True Detective, or Holy Spider by way of K.Kurosawa

Forgot how much I loved this Piero Piccioni track from Smoke Over London - it’s been years since I’ve heard it.

Farscape S1E15 - “Durka Returns” - Hey, an actual new regular cast/crew member, erratic bratty thief Chiana (Gigi Edgley), and her annoying captors. The plot is so-so, buncha Rygel PTSD and ship-napping, but Chiana seems pretty fun, cool makeup. B-
