I know. It’s only April, so what the hell am I doing watching a movie about Santa Claus? Well… the short answer is I’ve wanted to see this Finnish film since I first heard about it. And now I have. I was simply delighted with this film. If you take equal parts Goonies, The Thing,…

What Do You Mean There’s No Podcast This Week?
It’s true folks. There’s no podcast this week, but don’t worry, Sue and I have given ourselves a week off, as I have a guest spot on our friend Ryan’s podacst over on his site, found here. I join him for what is being called The Action Episode podcast, wherein we’ll chat about the film…
The Moth Diaries
It bothers me when I have to write a bad review. There’s potential for potential in The Moth Diaries, but it is sadly left undiscovered.

Guidestones
Sue and I discovered the web-series Guidestones at the Fan Expo Comic Con earlier this month, and have enjoyed every minute of it, from the storytelling to the hunting for clues. It’s a fan, interactive series, and one we wanted to follow-up on the moment we were introduced to it. So we sat down…
Prometheus!!
Summers come and go, and with them of course is a slew of popcorn films that sometimes are easily forgotten, leaving your mind as soon as you toss your empty popcorn bag into the garbage. It is also when some fantastic films get released as well, tentpoles, and the occasional amazing and surprising stand alone…
