Corridor of Mirrors
- Title: Corridor of Mirrors
- IMDb: link
The film debut of both director Terrence Young (From Russia with Love, Thunderball) and actor Christopher Lee (albeit in a minor role), 1948’s Corridor of Mirrors is an atmospheric thriller involving an eccentric bachelor (Eric Portman) who falls in love with a young woman (Edana Romney) who eerily resembles a Renaissance painting he keeps in his home. Their relationship mostly involves Mangin (Portman) dressing Mifanwy (Romney) in a variety of dresses and jewelry that fit her perfectly. As she struggles against his control, and the warnings of an older woman (Barbara Mullen) in the house suggesting dangerous ulterior motives in Mangin’s actions, their relationship ends disastrously, and, years later, tragically.
Although it may feel a bit dated in places, the tone and tension of the story hold up well as does Young’s direction and the cinematography of André Thomas. Re-released on Blu-ray and DVD as part of the Cohen Film Collection, Corridor of Mirrors is worth visiting for fans of the era or the genre. …

NCIS: Hawai’i – Gaijin
- Title: NCIS: Hawai’i – Gaijin
- wiki: link
The death of a Japanese sailor on Hawaii calls the attention of NCIS to a related murder from years before in Okinawa. Madeline Zima guest-stars as the prime suspect in both crimes, as psychopath who was the original victim’s roommate and met with the second victim on the day of his death. The other guest-appearance of note is Toshiji Takeshima as the officer who was unable to solve the original murder. It’s not often you see s procedural introduce a psychopath as a suspect only to use them as a red herring, but “Gaijin” takes some interesting turns as NCIS is able to solve two murders with the help of the woman originally suspected of both.

Red Sonja: Black, White, Red #4
- Title: Red Sonja: Black, White, Red #4
- Comic Vine: link
- Writers: Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Sanya Anwar, Chuck Brown
- Artists: Steve Beach, Sanya Anwar, Drew Moss
Three more black and white tales of Red Sonja are collected in Red Sonja: Black, White, Red #4. The bandit hordes of Turan invade in “The Iron Queen” only to be turned back by an old queen who takes up the sword for the first time in years remembering the warrior she once was. Sonja travels through a cold wasteland in “Cold Monger” where a king’s magic steals the warmth and fire from his subjects.
The best of the three tales, “The Iron Maiden,” features some great humor (almost all of it at Sonja’s expense) and some of my favorite art of the series so far. A wounded Red Sonja is found and tended to in the woods by a local woman, although the wounded She-Devil with a Sword struggles to return the favor when Onelia attempts to save her village from traders get her into trouble.

Set two years after her death, “The Skinner” focuses on Harold Cooper (Harry Lennix) putting the band back together after after Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq), now working for the FBI, is injured while attempting to stop the theft with global repercussions.
