Synopsis -
When the Davison family comes under attack during their wedding anniversary getaway, the gang of mysterious killers soon learns that one of the victims harbors a secret talent for fighting back.
Review -
A home invasion movie that does not disappoint. It does a great job of delivering and ramping up the tension and suspense associated with this genre of horror. Where the film truly shines, is that it adds some clever elements of crime and comedy to the mix, with a healthy dose of survivalist humour. The masks worn by the bad guys are creepy, the killings are brutal, and some of them very unique. If you like a slasher this is for you. Reviewed by Julia

Five diverse, infamous private eyes, including Sam Diamond (Peter Falk), Sidney Wang (Peter Sellers) and Jessica Marbles (Elsa Lanchester), are invited to the mysterious Lionel Twain's castle for a dinner party. There, they are told that Twain plans an unsolvable murder in the house at midnight and he will pay $1 million to the one who determines the killer. But when Twain's blind butler, Bensonmum (Alec Guinness), dies long before the deadline, the stakes go up for the trapped sleuths.
AN OLD MOVIE THAT WE LOVE
Review -
This is a silly, crazy, zany, hilarious parody, spoofing detective stories and sending up some beloved characters. Much of the humour is verbal, but there are elements of the slapstick to it as well. Much of it relies on stereotypes and plots related (mainly) to the crime story genre. Some of the humour is a tad dirty, and a bit of it is quite dark. The PC brigade would hate this, and it may end up banned one day. But, for it’s time and it’s great actors, this is will always be a classic bit of nutty movie fun. Watch and enjoy.

Keeper
About the Author
ANDREA GILLIES is a writer and journalist. Keeper won the 2009 Wellcome Trust Book Prize, the United Kingdom's pre-eminent popular science writing award, and the 2010 Orwell Prize. She lives with her family in St. Andrews, Scotland, and has just completed her first novel.
Synopsis
-
Andrea Gillies made the decision to care for her mother-in-law, Nancy, an Alzheimer sufferer, full time. With her husband and three children, they moved to a large house on a remote peninsula in Northern Scotland - one large enough to house Nancy and her elderly husband Maurice. Keeper is the result of this timea frank, moving and utterly gripping account of Alzheimer's and its impact on one family, and explores the trials and dilemmas faced by the carer, when patience and obligations are pushed to the limits . But more than this, Keeper becomes a meditation on the nature of consciousness and indeed the self, as Gillies grapples with an increasingly unknown and unknowable character.
Review -
A hard read at times. This is an insightful and ‘laughing through the tears’ account of someone looking after a relative who has Alzheimer's Disease. It navigates the pitfalls and the high points, it is open and honest. It gives hope but also a true representation of the toll this can take on a carer. A must read for anyone looking after an Alzheimer patient, as it is incredibly comforting to know you are not alone. All this is done in a well-written and never condescending narrative. Even if you have not experienced this in your life, it is well worth reading. Your heart will ache but your spirit will soar.

Review -
A book full of fantasy, action and humour. This dark, romantic, world building novel has a fast-paced narrative. A thrilling ride, filled with high energy action and sultry, delicious relationships. The story is refreshingly original, it has many twists and turns to keep you reading. Great characters and excellent banter that endears you to them all. This will excite and entertain you till the very last page.
INTERVIEW WITH AN INDIE AUTHOR
This issue we chat to Juan Venegas author and self proclaimed Geek - We talk about Truth or Dare, Emma Stone’s dance moves and The Tango.
What do you like to read and why?
First, I love reading the classics. It’s such a nice feeling when you’re reading a book with very high expectations and you suddenly go, “Damn! I get it now. This is really good.” Second, I read a lot of sci-fi and magical realism to check what other authors have done in the genres I write. That kept me going while I was putting together Broken Horizons. Finally, I read science and tech books, not only because I’m a geek, or so I tell myself. I just love gathering inspiration from mathematical and physical principles. Yeah, this doesn’t sound geeky at all.
What movies do you like to watch and
why?
I’m a sucker for coming-of-age films, maybe because I haven’t grown up fully yet and I’m still figuring out life in many ways. There’s something mysterious and poignant about young people finding their path in life. Also, I love watching films at the cinema and coming back with crazy stories. Like that time I went to watch Black Swan, and they had to postpone our screening because someone in the audience had broken a leg. I never knew if it was because they were inspired by the film to try ballet on the spot.
Do you have a Favourite Game?
Truth or Dare during a good party. It’s simple, but if you play it with like-minded people, it can be hilarious and beautiful.
What are your hobbies?
I love dancing Argentine tango. Whenever I feel miserable, I think, “Why should I keep my misery to myself when I could go and share it with other people?” Tango is a passionate articulation of grief and heartbreak, and it’s so cathartic that it regulates my emotions and keeps me connected to others. Science and writing take care of my thoughts, working out takes care of my body, but tango really takes care of my feelings.
What are you working on at the moment?
My first project is coincidentally a novel about Argentine tango. It’s a coming-of-age story of people in their 20s battling their hormones and clashing with the quirks of a very exacting and traditional dance. The second is a sci-fi novel titled Second-Hand Bodies. It’s the story of a data scientist who tries to restore order after everyone in the world has swapped bodies with someone else. when nobody knows who they really are. Continues
Interview
If you could have a chat with a character from a book or a film, who would you choose, what would you say, and why?
That’d be Guido from Life Is Beautiful. I’d love to feel his enthusiasm, joy, love for life, and imagination. Just having a walk with him would turn into a great adventure. And I’d love to learn from him how to stay strong and positive in such difficult circumstances.
“
I’d invite Emma Stone because she has some sick dance moves.”
If you had a dinner party who would you invite from the world of authors, actors, and those involved with books and films?
My first guest would be Christopher Nolan. Some of our stories come from the same physical concepts, and it’d be awesome to take a piece of paper and start brainstorming time-travel movie plots, which is still perfectly non-geeky. I’d invite Emma Stone because she has some sick dancing moves. And then I’ll have Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Ricky Gervais to laugh throughout the evening.
Which actor would you like to play the lead in a movie adaptation of your book?
Sir Daniel Day-Lewis, just for the pleasure of seeing him in a new film. But I also think his devotion to acting would elevate my characters to a whole new level and make new themes emerge in the stories.
What would you eat for your last meal?
First, if I’m allowed to, I’ll go for a swim just before the meal. Everything tastes so much better after a swim. For the menu, I’d choose something simple. I’d start with a homemade Mediterranean salad. It’s what I’ve eaten almost every day for years and it just agrees with my body. Then, I’d love to have Spanish chickpea and meat stew made by my mum. It’s a meal that makes me feel at home and what I ask her to cook every time I visit her. Also, if I could make my last meal go on for a couple of decades, I think that’d be quite handy.
What was the last thing you saw at the cinema?
Inside Out 2. It’s riveting and emotional, and you learn a lot about the human brain. What’s not to like?
“I got all my jobs from Tango friends.”
Tell us something surprising about yourself.
I got all my jobs from tango friends, apart from the last one, which I took to stay with my previous partner, whom I met through a tango friend. When I was a teenager, my parents told me to study hard and finish my education to find work, but I ended up getting jobs through people I met going out and partying. Don’t get me wrong. I think all the studying and preparation was key to being ready for those opportunities, but I definitely wouldn’t have found them without my tango friends.
” by H. Beam Piper
“I’m working on the first page of the first article, listed there. Wait till I see; yes, here’s all I found, together, here.” She told him where she had gotten it. “I just gathered it up, at the time, and gave it to Geoffrey and Rosita to photostat; this is the first I’ve really examined it.”
The old man got to his feet, brushing tobacco ashes from the front of his jacket, and came to where she was sitting, laying the title page on the table and leafing quickly through the stack of photostats.
Yes, and here is the second article, on page eight, and here’s the next one.” He finished the pile of photostats. “A couple of pages missing at the end of the last article. This is remarkable; surprising that a thing like a magazine would have survived so long.” “Well, this silicone stuff the Martians used for paper is pretty durable,” Hubert Penrose said. “There doesn’t seem to have been any water or any other fluid in it originally, so it wouldn’t dry out with time.”
“Oh, it’s not remarkable that the material would have survived. We’ve found a good many books and papers in excellent condition. But only a really vital culture, an organized culture, will publish magazines, and this civilization had been dying for hundreds of years before the end. It might have been a thousand years before the time they died out completely that such activities as publishing ended.”
“Well, look where I found it; in a closet in a cellar. Tossed in there and forgotten, and then ignored when they were stripping the building. Things like that happen.”
Penrose had picked up the title page and was looking at it.
“I don’t think there’s any doubt about this being a magazine, at all.” He looked again at the title, his lips moving silently. “Mastharnorvod Tadavas Sornhulva. Wonder what it means. But you’re right about the date Doma seems to be the name of a month. Yes, you have a word, Dr. Dane.”
Sid Chamberlain, seeing that something unusual was going on, had come over from the table at which he was working. After examining the title page and some of the inside pages, he began whispering into the stenophone he had taken from his belt.
“Don’t try to blow this up to anything big, Sid,” she cautioned. “All we have is the name of a month, and Lord only knows how long it’ll be till we even find out which month it was.”
“Well, it’s a start, isn’t it?” Penrose argued. “Grotefend only had the word for ‘king’ when he started reading Persian cuneiform.”
“But I don’t have the word for month; just the name of a month. Everybody knew the names of the Persian kings, long before Grotefend.”
“That’s not the story,” Chamberlain said. “What the public back on Terra will be interested in is finding out that the Martians published magazines, just like we do. Something familiar; make the Martians seem more real. More human.”
Three men had come in, and were removing their masks and helmets and oxy-tanks, and peeling out of their quilted coveralls. Two were Space Force lieutenants; the third was a youngish civilian with close-cropped blond hair, in a checked woolen shirt. Tony Lattimer and his helpers.
“Don’t tell me Martha finally got something out of that stuff?” he asked, approaching the table. He might have been commenting on the antics of the village half-wit, from his tone.
“Yes; the name of one of the Martian months.” Hubert Penrose went on to explain, showing the photostat.
Tony Lattimer took it, glanced at it, and dropped it on the table.
“Sounds plausible, of course, but just an assumption. That word may not be the name of a month, at all—could mean ‘published’ or ‘authorized’ or ‘copyrighted’ or anything like that. Fact is, I don’t think it’s more than a wild guess that that thing’s anything like a periodical.”
He dismissed the subject and turned to Penrose. “I picked out the next building to enter; that tall one with the conical thing on top. It ought to be in pretty good shape inside; the conical top wouldn’t allow dust to accumulate, and from the outside nothing seems to be caved in or crushed. Ground level’s higher than the other one, about the seventh floor. I found a good place and drilled for the shots; tomorrow I’ll blast a hole in it, and if you can spare some people to help, we can start exploring it right away.”
“Yes, of course, Dr. Lattimer. I can spare about a dozen, and I suppose you can find a few civilian volunteers,” Penrose told him. “What will you need in the way of equipment?”
MOVIE TRIVIA
In the Movie K9 Jerry Lee was played by Rando, a 3-year-old German Shepherd from West Germany. A year-long search was held to find the right dog for the role. Over 40 dogs were considered but none of the American German Shepherds were deemed suitable.
Emily Lloyd was originally cast as Charlotte in Mermaids, and had already started shooting scenes. Cher complained that the fair-haired Lloyd could play her daughter, and she was replaced by Winona Ryder. Lloyd sued Orion Pictures Corporation and Mermaid Productions.
They Live is based on a short story called “Eight O' Clock in the Morning” by Ray Nelson. The story was published in 1963 and served as the inspiration for the screenplay written by John Carpenter.

TIME TO PLAY ...
Do you know how to play the game called Snog, Marry, Avoid? Where a friend gives you the names of three celebrities and you must decide which one to snog, which one to marry, and which one to avoid?
Well, In the interest of fun, we will review three movies. All the same genre (loosely) and in what order we rate them by this age-old game . We will try to pick movies that are lesser known (because that’s what we do) but we will also acknowledge, at the end, the greater movies in that field and bow to them as examples of what the genre should be, when at its best.
This issue Dinosaurs
Movies with Dinos at their heart have often crossed genres. Action, Comedy, Horror and even Romance spring to mind. Here are three we would SNOG, MARRY and AVOID.
The Valley of Gwangi
Synopsis -
A struggling Wild West stunt show hopes to make its fortune with a miniature horse from a hidden valley, but the discovery of large prehistoric beasts there leads to deadly danger.
What's not to like in this dino flick that surpasses all that came before it Gila Golan, Naismeth and the excellent Harryhausen Allosaurus F/X. Shot in Technicolor by Erwin Hillier and in Dynamation, The Valley Of Gwangi sees Tuck Kirby (James Franciscus) and a gang of cowboys get more than they bargained for when they venture into a hidden valley in Mexico. The setting and plot set it apart from the typical jungle based lost world B-movie. Furthermore, the performances are good and solid. Everyone brings their A game. The stop-motion animation is blended beautifully, so good that it should take top billing. Many other movies like this look so fake and choppy, this project rings every bell and ticks every box. A masterpiece. Pucker up!

Anonymous Rex
Synopsis -
The dinosaurs didn't go completely extinct when the asteroids hit 65 million years ago. Today, every ten thousandth person in the country is a dinosaur, evolved to be human-sized, wearing sophisticated solid-light holographic disguises to maintain the façade. Two dino private investigators, velociraptor Vincent Rubio and triceratops Ernie Watson, are hired by one of Ernie's old girlfriends to find out why her younger brother committed suicide, and discover a dino cult called Voice Of Progress that wants dinokind to come out of the closet and reclaim the planet.
What a find this is for a fun, entertaining sci fi flick! If it is not a Bonafede cult classic yet, it should be. Engaging and slightly hammy acting, really well-written script, a brilliant film noir spoof with dinosaurs in human suits. (Even that sentence makes me smile.) You honestly will not stop chuckling, and enjoying the mad sci fi plot. Really hope it was as much fun to make as it is to watch. We all love the small but effective special effects - no expensive over the top stuff, but the tiny budget did not stop the creative fun. This is a made for TV movie, a failed pilot, but it is a great watch and one you will want to go back to. Entertainment for all ages and although there are no great epiphanies or majestic sweeps across a dinosaur filled plain, it has heart and is great fun to watch. Strike up the band, we are heading down the aisle.

Triassic World
Synopsis -
Dinosaurs are being used to grow human organs for transplants. But the scientists that created them have to fight back when the creatures escape.
If you like bad rip offs with shaky camera work. This is the movie for you. Actually scrap that, even then, you should give this one a miss. There are plenty of bad dino movies out there, but this one offers boredom, bad acting, huge plot holes in an already odd (not in a good way) story and well just lots of gore with the best action happening off camera. The special effects are not even comedy bad. Avoid this drawn out piece of trash, in fact, taking out the trash is more fun. Review by Julia

We are talking old school Sonic. The first and arguably the best. Sonic caused a stir in 1991, it caused a whole generation to dream about speed boosts and golden rings. It was a hit and Sega loved it. We as game players loved it too. Running and speed boosting your way around 6 levels of pure adrenalin based craziness was perfect for kids with a need for flashing lights and crazy graphics. It is a fast paced game that is still fun to play today. Colourful and addictive, this is the start of games getting faster and more edgy. No plodding plumbers here. @Bert
REVIEW
Free with Amazon Prime on Luna and on mobiles. This is a fun and silly game for everyone to play. It has a simple premise and simple graphics but there is something satisfying about collecting those piles of green bills and using them to level up your rooms or pay for a new maid.
The only down side is it can get repetitive which is a shame. New things to do would be a bonus. However, for a free game and for a bit of easy game play this is not bad. Enjoy!
L BOOK TO MOVIE ADAPTATION
Women
Little Women is a coming-of-age novel written by Louisa May Alcott, originally published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. The story follows the lives of the four March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—and details their passage from childhood to womanhood. Loosely based on the author and her three sisters, it is classified as an autobiographical or semiautobiographical novel. Adapted for the stage in 1912 and again in 1919. A silent film was released in 1917 and again in 1918. Katherine Hepburn played Jo in the 1933 film to much acclaim. In 1949 the colour adaptation won two academy awards and the 1994 version won three. In 1958 there was a television musical, many times the book has been serialised on the small screen. More films came in 2018 and 2019 and along with them more awards. This heart warming story appeals to many and will surely delight for years to come.

“I am a storyteller and I come from storytellers.”
Listening to stories was the beginning of her education, and gave her a sense of belonging.
When she took on the role herself, she says, she felt her connection with storytellers from the past, present and future. “I am a storyteller and I come from storytellers,” she says.
My Writing. My Work. My Life in Focus
Naming the collection Returning the Feathers is a reference to the Gitxsan expression, Guuxs mak’am mik’aax . It is used by Smith to thank all the Gitxsan storytellers from the past. “It’s not just me talking,” she explains.
“When my grandmother started to tell a story, she would credit her sources and you’d know you were hearing stories from the beginning of time. You would feel honoured to be part of that.”
Smith has been telling stories for many years. She shares their layered drama, humour and lessons in her role as an elementary school teacher, as a Sim’algax language instructor, and at the many social and cultural gatherings where she is invited to speak. to writing.
Already holding a teaching degree from the University of Victoria and a Masters degree from the University of Northern British Columbia, Smith has completed her doctoral work for the University of British Columbia.
She has written:
“You’d know you were hearing stories from the beginning of time.”
'Returning the Feathers (Five Gitxsan Stories)' Breath of our Ancestors, and The First Fry Bread.
M. Jane Smith teaches in an elementary school in the Gitxsan Territories.
I have learned that if you want to write you need a master with words that connect with you. With their teachings my Gitxsan Elders have touched my soul.”
M. Jane Smith happily continues to live and work in the Gitxsan territories.
“I thank God for the opportunity that I had to walk with them, I thank them for their great knowledge and for the privilege of allowing me to glimpse that knowledge. I thank them for their great inspiration that allowed me to create the ‘Breath of our Ancestors.”
Remakes or Sequels that Should Never have seen the Light of Day
Welcome to our new feature. Remakes and sequels that should never have been made.
This issue we look at Highlander 2. Why was it made? What we’re they thinking? Was it just a cash in?
With an awful script and a terrible plot, we can only assume Connery and Lambert returned for this disaster of a film because they were under contract.
This movie completely ignores the events of the first movie and says that the immortals are from another planet called Zeist. Not only that, Zeist is allegedly in another galaxy so how are they able to teleport millions of light years in mere seconds? This movie just makes no sense. As for the renegade recut version, it's even worse because that makes the immortals supposably come from the distant past and they have time travelled into the future for no reason, except the movie says so.
This movie is a headache on film, and is disrespectful to the premise of the original, and best, Highlander movie. A poor attempt at a sequel.
There can be only one and that should be the first Highlander film, with the amazing battle scenes and the Queen soundtrack.
This is an insult to that masterpiece and dragged it down as it sunk without a trace at the box office.
The makers wanted a franchise but they got a disaster.
