Godzilla Vs. Kong (2021)

The fourth film in the Monsterverse finds Godzilla setting off against King Kong to see who will be the King of the Monsters. Godzilla seems to be on some sort of rampage that the scientists can’t explain. Meanwhile, Apex has asked Monarch scientists to help them find a source of power in the Hollow Earth. They use Kong to find the entrance to the Hollow earth. Meanwhile Madison from the previous movie is trying to find out why Godzilla is attacking. It doesn’t have much plot. But the monsters destroy cities and at the end of the day that’s all I want…

 

Fire and Flood by SerenLyall

 

Essentially this is an episode of Stargate that the creators never made. And a good one too. They go to a planet. Jack is not having a good day. Spilling his coffee. Rain. Sam getting attacked by a lion creature. A very good story. Unfortunately it is unfinished so if that is going to bug you, you might not want to start this one.

But somehow the strange planet has brought Spock back to life…

The Shadow by James Patterson and Brian Sitts

 

This novel is based off the classic serial of the same name. In the 1930’s Lamont Cranston aka the Shadow and his girlfriend, Margo Lane are ambushed and left for dead by Cranston’s archnemesis Shiwan Khan. Dying Lane and Cranston enter into a cryochamber to await a day where they might be saved. Flash forward to over a century later and teenager Maddy Gomes inherits something very strange, Cranston’s and Lane’s cyrochambers. And in this dystopian future where Khan’s legacy can still be felt, only the Shadow can possibly hope to defeat him. One thing I appreciate about Patterson is that he always gives his ghost writers credit for their work. Yes, his name might be front and center, but their names are still there. 

Farscape (1999-2003)

 

American astronaut John Crichton flies into a wormhole and ends up in a distant part of the universe. He is picked up by fugitives from a corrupt military organization called the Peacekeepers. They all live on their sentient ship Moya. There are several plot points such as Crichton’s search for a way home and outrunning the Peacekeepers. The creatures were all created by Jim Henson. Overall an enjoyable scifi adventure.   

The Lost World by Michael Crichton

Very different from the movie, Ian Malcolm and a group of fellow scientists go to Site B to research the dinosaurs that are left on the island. Dino mayhem ensues. It is a great book. 
 

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

 

A long time ago, a Prime violated the rules and built a star harvester on Earth. He became “the Fallen” the first Decepticon. Back in the present day, Sam Witwicky is going a little crazy because he held an All Spark shard. Both the Decipticons and the Autobots believe that the symbols that Sam has been seeing could lead to a new source of Energon source. Then of course they have to fight the Fallen that has been revived by Megatron. It is a fun romp.
