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…
Doctor Who S07E08 – The Rings of Akhaten
Neil Cross pens this week’s episode which sees Clara the impossible girl (Jenna-Louise Coleman) leaving the planet for the first time, having decided to go with the Doctor (Matt Smith). It’s a story of lullabies, memories, stories and the lives of those we miss and lost. While still not the strongest episode of this…
Orphan Black S01E02 – Instinct
Tonight on Space, things get even crazier for Sarah (Tatiana Maslany) as she learns the threads of her own and Beth’s life are more complicated than she thought, both personally and professionally.

Bomb Girls S02E08 – Fifth Column
What a beautiful episode. Kate’s (Charlotte Hegele) stirring voice and a single tear running down a wounded soldier’s cheek.

James Bond returns in the installment that created the mold.

A field that is a mass grave of light and dark Fae that someone is hunting down and watching said field via camera… Cool! We learn from this that Bo did not kill the woman, who’s…
John Dies At The End (2012) – Don Coscarelli
Phantasm, Bubba Ho-Tep, yup, even Beastmaster… Don Coscarelli has always been a cult fave director, and he’s had my attention since 1982, when I saw Beastmaster on First Choice (on one of the free weekends). I remember as a kid sitting in my bedroom in CFB Borden, reading comics on my rug, and seeing an…
Mad Max 2 aka The Road Warrior (1981) – George Miller
Back when no one knew Mel Gibson’s name, he made a little film with George Miller called Mad Max, that became a bit of a cult sensation, a few years after that, they paired for the sequel and gave us one of my favorite action movies of all time, and a welcome addition to the…
Doctor Who S07E07 – The Bells of Saint John
What if there was something in the wi-fi? Something living, something reaping the human consciousness and uploading it into cyberspace to build its own intelligence? Doctor Who finally returned last night with a few changes, most of them fairly welcome. I like the new desktop theme for the console room, I like The Doctor’s (Matt Smith)…
