So now we’ve entered the world of camp with the 101 Horror Movies, and if you’re going to watch anyone gleefully chew the scenery wouldn’t you want it to be Vincent Price? Price stars as the titular Phibes, and from the opening scene, you know this isn’t going to be your ordinary horror film, but…

Star Trek: The Bantam Books
I finished navigating my way through the original Bantam novels this weekend. As stated in my previous post there were 15 of them altogether in addition the episode adaptations (some of which I still own). I will say this, I may not be suffering from Trek overdose, but it’s never been easier to see all…
Valerie And Her Week of Wonders (1970)
We’ve come across the first movie that left me thinking “huh.” I can say I didn’t hate it, and visually it’s gorgeous to look at, but it’s just a little… well… huh. This Czechoslovakian film is haunting, and disturbing. The story follows young Valerie who very early in the film, has her very first menstruation….
Back To The Zoo
It was another gorgeous Sunday, and the weather was perfect for the zoo, and obviously the animals thought so to because they were up and about, more so when they’ll be in August when the sweltering heat and crowds flock will descend upon them. We got to see the new baby penguin, as well as…
Quantum Leap
“Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished… He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey…

Cabin In The Woods
Sue and I got to take in a sneak peek of Drew Goddard’s new film Cabin In The Woods last night, with the director in attendance for a post-show Q&A. And the film entertained! It takes the genre we know so well, and gives it a whole new life… The tagline on the poster to…
Remembering When… Raiders of the Lost Ark
Star Wars and Indiana Jones were an inextricable part of my youth. As mentioned in my Star Wars post, prior to ’77 there was nothing that stood out amongst the pop culture landscape, there were fun and cool things, but nothing like the mountain that was the experience of Star Wars, and then, a number…
The Lost Girl Pre Show Taping
So Sue and I got some great news today! We were selected to join the small audience chosen to attend to the taping of the Lost Girl Finale Pre-Show! We actually had a huge geek out at work, much to everyone’s amusement. We got a quiet little email from Showcase notifying us we had…
Game of Thrones Exhibit at the Lightbox
Yup, sometimes being here in Toronto is pretty cool. It also helps to have some awesome friends who offered me a free ticket to take in the Game of Thrones Exhibit being put on at the Lightbox, the home of the Toronto International Film Festival. I have to say that I like the Lightbox, and I keep…
