To my recollection, I’d only seen the first instalment of the Universal Soldier franchise when I walked into this latest version last night, but I remember loving it when I was younger – and what’s not to love, really? Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren kicking ass, taking names and, occasionally, blowing stuff up? …

Toronto After Dark – [Rec] 3: Genesis – Paco Plaza
So, let’s get this out of the way first: I am one of the sorry souls who hasn’t seen either of the first two Rec movies. I know, I know. I remember missing the first one, somehow, and then decided not to see the second one until I’d seen the first one…and there you go. …
Toronto After Dark – Crave – Charles de Lauzirika
I was looking forward to this one in large part because it was described as a crime thriller with Ron Perlman. Or, something like that. Ron Perlman is really the only descriptive term I paid attention to because, as we say, “Who doesn’t love Ron Perlman?” I also adore me some Eddie Furlong whenever…
Toronto After Dark – Grabbers – Jon Wright
The opening film selected for Toronto After Dark this year was the Irish Sundance hit, Grabbers! Directed by Jon Wright, this little comedic gem had its Toronto premiere at the festival last night, and seemed to be the perfect film to set the tone for a festival that’s now known to boast “blood, beasts,…
Can’t Stop The Serenity 2013 Logo Art Contest – Please vote!!!
I’ve been meaning to write a big post about what Firefly/Serenity means to me, but it’s going to take more time than I have right now, and I want to do it right. So this is not that post! What it is, however, is a brief look into my first attempts at logo creation…

Haven – Season 3, Episode 3 – The Farmer
Have I mentioned yet how much I love the darker path that Haven is taking so far this season? The stakes have never been higher for our heroes in so many ways, and the fact that the Troubles are getting creepier and more…far-reaching…this season, just goes to show how much more everyone has to lose…
Haven – Season 3, Episode 2: Stay
As an animal lover, it’s possible I am a bit biased, but I loved this week’s episode of Haven! This is really not my best write-up, however, so please don’t let my lack of skills deter you from checking it out. The ep and the show are just better than my ability to translate, is…
Once Upon A Time – Season 2 – Episode 1 – Broken
My excitement level for the return of OUAT has been pretty extreme as of late, and I geared up even more for the season 2 premiere last night by watching the hour-long recap episode that aired right before it, as well! Two hours’ worth of magic, mystery and mayhem – could a Sunday night…
Haven: Season 3, Episode 1 – 301
Well, if the Season 2 finale ended with a bang, then the Season 3 premiere can be said to have blown things wide open! This episode was an incredible rush from start to finish, and if the rest of the season is at all like its opener, then we are in for a dark…
