Wizard World Comic Con Toronto
It was a pretty sweet weekend for Sue, and I. We had our first fan table at the Wizard World Comic Con here in T.O, and we had so much fun with it. Our mornings started with a quick chat and beverage with our fellow con -goers and exhibitors. That is an awesome and eclectic…
The Last Starfighter
“Greetings, Starfighter. You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Xur and the Ko-dan Armada.” Those words make me smile, and give me excited chills at the same time. Now, for Sue and I, it’s taken on a whole new level of awesome. Believe me, this film was already at…
The Moment
My friend from The Matinee, Ryan McNeil and I, were talking today about films that impacted us, made us realize there was more to them than we’d realized. He was talking about The Moment. It happens to every cinephile. There’s a moment when you realize that there’s more to movies than what s up there…
What Are You Doing This Weekend?

Snow Is Not So Cool.
Snake Plissken could kick Snow’s ass, and sure as hell look cooler doing it.

When I first saw the trailer, the only thing I could think was that it looked like a John Carpenter/Kurt Russell film without either of them (though some of the dialogue looks even cheesier) and more importantly, it looked like a…
Game of Thrones S02E02 – The Night Lands
The Song of Fire & Ice continued this week, with the incomparable fantasy series Game of Thrones. And you know you’re addicted, and a geek, when you notice and pick out new locations that you’ve read about and imagined appear in what may well be my favorite opening credits for a television series ever. This…
Tim’s Guest Shot On The Matinee Podcast

Ridley Scott – My Top 10
I am so pumped for Prometheus, but we know that. So, while I wait very impatiently for June 8 to return to The Company, Lv-426 and learn the secrets of The Engineers I thought it would be very interesting to run down my list of favorite films by Sir Ridley. While some people may not…
