Writer: Paul Terry, based on characters created by Jeff Rice and Richard Matheson Price: $7.49 Publisher: Moonstone Books Publication Date: May 24, 2024 There are certain books, films and TV series that are inflection points for their genres, subtly or even overtly changing the way things are seen and done ever after. One of these was THE NIGHT STALKER, which premiered on ABC January 11, 1972. Based on a previously unpublished novel by Jeff Rice and directed by John Llewellyn Moxey from a script by Richard Matheson, the telefilm introduced us to struggling but determined newspaper writer Carl Kolchak, played […]Read On »

Paramount Plus’s CRIMINAL MINDS: EVOLUTION is now in its second season, with new episodes dropping Thursdays on the streaming platform. Essentially, this is Season 17 of CRIMINAL MINDS, which ran from 2005 through 2020 on CBS, then moved in its slightly new iteration to Paramount Plus in 2022. It has recently been announced that CRIMINAL MINDS: EVOLUTION has been picked up for Season 3/Season 18, depending on how one calculates these things. CRIMINAL MINDS: EVOLUTION follows the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, or BAU, as they track down serial killers. Unlike the mostly standalone CBS episodes, both seasons of CRIMINAL MINDS: […]Read On »

Movie Review: LONGLEGS

LONGLEGS movie poster | ©2024 Neon

Rating: R Stars: Maika Monroe, Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, Nicolas Cage, Michelle Choi-Lee, Lauren Acala, Kiernan Shipka, Ava Kelders, Carmel Amit Writer: Osgood Perkins| Director: Osgood Perkins Distributor: Neon Release Date: July 12, 2024 LONGLEGS succeeds at being admirably scary, leavened by some very funny moments. Mixing FBI procedural thriller with supernatural chiller, writer/director Osgood Perkins has made a film that feels something like a hybrid of 1991’s THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and 1982’s HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH. (The latter isn’t a spot-on comparison, but it’s close as far as the magical mechanisms.) We get quite a […]Read On »

While THE INHERITANCE is a 2024 single-story feature (not to be confused with multiple other films with the same […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Rupert Lazarus, Sidney Nicole Rogers, Andrea Tivadar, Ken Lawson, Eleanor Williams, Emily Hall, Eric Roberts Writer: Gino McKoy Director: Gino McKoy Distributor: Goldove Release Date: July 12, 2024 LUMINA has a cool premise. What if your life partner turned out to be a frequent alien abductee? And where on Earth would you go to search for that person if they were taken again during your relationship? The opening seems promising. A vehicle drives past a helmeted skull in the desert. Spaceships are hovering in the air. A reptile that looks like a tiny dinosaur investigates a dropped […]Read On »

Extremely fit tough guy John Cena is the host of Discovery/Discovery+ Channel’s SHARK WEEK, running this year from Sunday, July 7 through Saturday, July 13. We didn’t get to ask him about the premise of the episode 6000 LB. SHARK, which at first glance seems like it might be about shark obesity. However, Tom “the Blowfish” Hird got on Zoom with Assignment X to talk about the episode. Hird, who describes himself as “the world’s only heavy-metal marine biologist,” is originally from Halifax, West Yorkshire, England. A prolific diver, Hird’s writings include the book BLOWFISH’S OCEANOPEDIEA: 291 EXTRAORDINARY THINGS YOU […]Read On »
