  • Title: Scream (1996)
  • IMDb: link

The brainchild of Kevin Williamson, 1996’s Scream enjoyed playing with the concepts of a classic slasher flick often satirizing them when still  using them to tell the story of Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and her friends dealing with a serial killer in a Halloween costume murdering their way through their small California town. Director Wes Craven hits the right notes to stage and sell the concept for maximum effect while the characters often remark on the various aspects of horror movies culminating in the movie-obsessed Randy (Jamie Kennedy) summarizing rules which the franchise would live by for decades to come.

The Day The Earth Blew Up

  • Title: The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie
  • IMDb: link

Your nostalgia for classic Looney Tunes cartoons may influence your enjoyment in The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie. Warner Bros., who has owned the various properties since the 1940s, hasn’t had the best luck in adapting characters from the animated shorts into full features over the years. The latest, and first (not counting the Space Jam sequel) in over 20 years, casts Daffy Duck and Porky Pig (both voiced by Eric Bauza) as brothers out to save their home from threats such as the H.O.A. and aliens. Honestly, the H.O.A. is the scarier of the two antagonists (although the aliens allow for things to get quite wacky over the second-half of the film).

Darkwing Duck #1

/ / Comics

A new Darkwing Duck comic kicks off here with part one of a twelve-part storyline involving Darkwing Duck, shortly after his adoption of Gosalyn, searching for an arch-nemesis… and also fighting crime. In Darkwing Duck #1 we get Darkwing taking on Megavolt who has stolen a super-battery and heads to the carnival to charge it leading to a run-in with Launchpad and Gosalyn (who should be in bed). Despite the “Year One” moniker, the comic is taking place after Darkwing, Launchpad, and Gosalyn are brought together and after he’s had multiple run-ins with super-villains (even if he still has to remind them of his name). Still, it’s a fun early adventure for the character.

Watson – The Man with the Glowing Chest

  • Title: Watson – The Man with the Glowing Chest
  • IMDb: link

While the title of the episode refers to a geneticist friend of Watson (Morris Chestnut), the patient (Brittany Adebumola) in the episode suffering from multiples issues stemming for sickle cell anemia allows Watson to play with the concept of what doctors should and shouldn’t do to save their patient. Putting his career on the line, while attempting to hide what he’s doing from the team, Watson performs an unapproved medical procedure which saves his patient’s life leaving the team, and his ex-wife, to face the ramifications.

Doctor Odyssey – Shark Attack!

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Doctor Odyssey – Shark Attack!
  • IMDb: link

Doctor Odyssey returns from its mid-season break with “Shark Attack!” featuring the cruise ship’s first mate (Marcus Emanuel Mitchell) getting attacked by sharks and, while racing to get him to port, rescuing another small group of survivors also the victims of a shark attack. There’s plenty of emergency surgery here and out-of-the-box thinking in terms of the limited resources aboard the ship keeping their patients alive. Things only get worse at the end of the episode when the ship is attacked leaving it stranded and surrounded by a group of Orca whales. I would expect more ingenuity from the crew to make it through next week’s episode.
