Mark Gatiss reintroduces the ice warriors of Mars to the world of Doctor Who as The Doctor (Matt Smith) and Clara (Jenna-Louise Coleman) find themselves aboard a Soviet Sub in 1983. This is probably the strongest of the stories since Clara became The Doctor’s companion, although David Warner seems completely wasted in his ole…

Bermuda International Film Festival – The Act of Killing – Joshua Oppenheime
The second film to be screened at BIFF was a documentary that proved to be a tough watch. To clarify, it’s not a bad film at all, its just the subject matter is particularly harsh. It was also the first film I’d seen in the Liberty Theater since I left in 89, and I took…
Orphan Black S01E03 – Variation Under Nature
Tonight on Space, things continue to spin more out of control for Sarah (Tatiana Maslany) as more is revealed about who and what she is, but not the whys. The episode picks up exactly where the previous episode left off, with Sarah conversing with Allison and Kasima. Minor SPOILERS abound. Sarah continuing to pose…
Bermuda and Back: A Happy Hobbit’s Return Home and a Film Festival Part 3
Goslings Wine cellar was the location yesterday evening for a meet and greet of the people and sponsors behind the Bermuda International Film Festival before the opening night presentation of Ginger & Rosa. Festival VIPs meet and mingle, there is laughter and shop being talked about equally. Bermuda has, in its time, perfected the art…
Bermuda and Back Again: A Happy Hobbit’s Return Home and a Film Festival Part 2
The first night back, and it was amazing. I wandered around St. Georges reacquainting myself with the lay of the land, and a couple things struck me right away… I forgot the smell, the salt water of the ocean mixing with hibiscus and fern, and I forgot the quiet. It settles right down at night,…
Bermuda International Film Festival – Ginger & Rosa (Sally Potter)
The Bermuda International Film Festival kicks off this evening with the powerful film, Ginger & Rosa, which Sue got to take a look at during the Toronto International Film Festival. I’m very excited to be able to cover this festival, and am looking forward to stepping inside the Liberty Theater. I haven’t been in there…
Bermuda and Back Again: A Happy Hobbit’s Return Home and a Film Festival Part 1
It’s been a long time since I’ve had the time or the luxury to travel, but when the Bermuda Film Festival was announced this year, I knew I had found the perfect reason to don my fedora, fill a kit bag and hop a jet plane. Being an air force brat, I’ve had the luxury…
Thunderball (1965) – Terence Young
007 is back in his biggest adventure yet and the 101 Action Movies brings me one of my favorite Sean Connery Bond films. For me, this one has it all, exotic locations, scuba diving (something I haven’t done for years, but still love), Connery being suave and cool, banter with Q (Desmond Llewelyn) and…
Bomb Girls S02E09 – Something Fierce
Strong women pushing the barriers society constrains them with, both then and now, is the theme for this week’s episode of Bomb Girls. Lorna (Meg Tilly) finds herself unwitting thrust into the limelight and controversy when Dottie Shannon (Rosie O’Donnell) a reporter who used to make a living writing about recipes and knitting, is…
Lost Girl S03E12 – Hail, Hale!
Ahh, now this is what I’m talking about for a race to the finish line! Steve Cochrane pens this week’s penultimate episode of the season and it’s definitely getting ready to pull out all the stops for the finale next week (unfortunately I’ll be away and won’t be able to see it until I get…
