The X-Files is returning to FOX for another 10-episode run that will premiere during the 2017-2018 season. Stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, along with series creator Chris Carter, are back for the second revival of the long-running show which originally went off the air in 2002.
The 2016 revival was spotty, to say the least. One could only hope that this go-around produces better results.
13 years after signing off the air for the last time, and 7 years after their last big screen outing, The X-Files will be returning to FOX for a 6 episode run. Series creator Chris Carter and original stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are on board for the “event series”, which has yet to be scheduled but is due to shoot this summer. No other details were made available at this time.
In a perfect world, the event series would be used as a springboard to reboot the show without Duchovny and Anderson, bringing in a new team of agents to explore the unexplainable. Who knows if FOX, or Carter, is interested in that.
A likely part of the reason I only made it through 8 books last year was the 119 movies I saw, making it the 5th most prolific year of my life.
Amy Adams, Mila Kunis, and Nicolas Cage each starred in 4 films I saw, tying for the yearly lead. Bruce Willis starred in 2, giving him the all time lead with 27.
For fun, here’s a quick review of the films and what recollection, if any, I have of them. They are listed in the order I saw them.
District 9 (2009)
Aliens invade South Africa. One of the surpise hits of ’09.
Extract (2009)
Mila Kunis works with Jason Bateman at a spice factory.
Moving McAllister (2007)
Mila Kunis is some muckety-mucks daughter and some dude helps her move to get in good with the dad.
Welcome (2007)
Streak (2008)
Spleenectomy, The (2008)
Three shorts I downloaded from iTunes. Anna Faris pretended to be a doctor in the last one.
