It’s time for my annual look back at last year’s columns. Why do I have a picture of Stephen King here? Why not? He’s a distinguished-looking guy, and I really like the way he writes, even though I can’t remember one word of The Institute (for example), which I read pretty much the day it came out. But to continue: in 2021 I wrote 28 columns, which is a bit over one every two weeks average. I can’t promise to do better this year, but maybe I can boost my average a bit. In spite of the COVID restrictions, a number of TV movies, mini-series, and series managed to get made, as well as a few full-on movies. I hope to bring you my impressions of some of the new and newer movies and TV shows, like John Cena’s The Peacemaker, which is a parody (some people haven’t caught on yet) that I’m enjoying.
So let’s take a look at what I did in 2021.

By the way, a couple of tags were wrong when posted; both columns 320 and 321 claimed to be column 320. Sorry if that confused the issue when searching. (Otherwise, you probably wouldn’t notice.)
Comments? Anyone? Bueller? You can comment here or on Facebook, or even by email (stevefah at hotmail dot com). All comments are welcome! (Just be polite, please.) My opinion is, as always, my own, and doesn’t necessarily reflect the views of Amazing Stories or its owner, editor, publisher or other columnists. See you next time!
