Movie Discussion – “Hide and Seek”
I have seen surprisingly little promotion for this,
considering the cast
includes Robert DeNiro, Dakota Fanning, Famke
Janssen, and Elisabeth Shue.

In a stunning move, the fiendish droid leader, General Grievous, has swept into the Republic capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate.

Enterprise Review – “Observer Effect”
You like to watch, don’t you?
Not Wanted on the Voyage
The late Timothy Findley wrote a wide range of novels. The Wars tells the tale of a Canadian soldier who loses his mind during World War I.

Nexus writes, Trek Today is reporting
the rumour that Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis may
be reprising their roles as William Riker and Deanna
Troi in the season finale of Enterprise. Considering
the finale is being written by B&B, and not Manny
Coto, I wouldn’t be suprised to see them pull a stunt

Oscar and Razzie nominees
The Academy Award nominations are out,
with very little genre representation. The Razzie

also picked up the new animated Batman and
Superman sets.) Expect reviews some time
this year.
New Smallville starts this week
Smallville is back from hiatus this week.
Work commitments will prevent me from writing the
review before Friday, but the review will come.
Don’t miss it if you don’t want to!
Weekly Comics Discussion
Yes, this is a night early. I’ll be away at a

also means the “Smallville” review won’t be up until
Friday. In the meantime, enjoy your copies of
Fantastic Four #522 and Ultimate
Fantastic Four #15 this week, along with any of
a number of interesting trade paperbacks that you can
find listed here.
