It’s been awhile since I had time to settle in and keep working through the 101 Horror Movies but I finally had time to settle back into the early 70s and watched the next one on my list – the blaxploitation film Blacula. My first reaction when the opening credits started rolling was… Gordon Pinsent?…

Comic Con: Episode IV A Fan’s Hope
I wanted to see this movie since I first heard about it but misses the chance when it premiered last August at the Toronto International Film Festival. A lot of people I know saw it and liked it, and I love a good con, so would it live up to the hype? I like Morgan…

Game of Thrones S02 E05 & E06
I missed out on doing a post last week for Game of Thrones Episode 5 because Sue and I were hip deep in the awesomeness that is Hot Docs. So this evening, I sat down and worked my way through two episodes back to back to catch up on all the scheming, betrayal and murder……
The Avengers
There’s not much I can say for The Avengers that hasn’t already been said over the weekend. For me it has already entered the pantheon of greatest comic book movies of all time. It’s fun, loud, funny, exciting, and for me, it actively conveyed everything that not only a comic book movie, but a comic…

That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want…
Getting into Continuum – Meet Kiera Cameron
Showcase, continuing to prove that Canadian television rocks, is about to premiere a new series, Continuum, on May 27th.

Clay Peterson & Michael Harmon
So one of the films that both Sue and I enjoyed immensely this year at Hot Docs was the documentary Finding Truelove. Sue, moments after having seen it, messaged Sam the director and asked if we could meet with them while they were here in town. Finally, the fates aligned as much as they…

Indie Game takes us behind the scenes of three independent game designers and their games – the flushed with success designer, Jonathan Blow, of the hit game Braid; the anxious, verging on…
The Revisionaries – Scott Thurman, USA
No matter how I broach this subject, it’s going to be a hot button topic. But at its heart lays one essential and undeniable fact… there must be separation of church and state. If it’s a public school it must respect all spiritual beliefs, races, creeds and sexual orientation, honoring none above the others….
