The 101 Action Movies brought me this Gary Cooper classic that is not only lots f fun, but has a lot of heart. It’s a tale of honor, duty, bravery and loyalty that has not dimmed at all with age. Gary Cooper plays Scotch-Canadian Lt. McGregor. I quite like the fact that he’s a Canadian…

Lost Girl S03E06 – The Kenzi Scale
Aha!! Now we get to it! This week’s Lost Girl not only helped us sort out what the hell was happening with Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) last week, though we still don’t know what the final outcome of her Fae induced rash will be. We learn that Kenzi was grabbed by a fox Fae that night…
Ju-On:The Grudge (2003) – Takashi Shimizu
I remember watching both the original Ringu and Ju-On, so it was fun to revisit them on the 101 Horror Movies list. And I still stand by my belief that little kids that make cat noises are creepy, and women should not let their hair hang down in front of their faces and crawl around…
5-25-77 – Patrick Read Johnson
Every now and then a movie comes along that speaks to you, that defines you. A movie, that as you watch you can not only relate to the characters of the film, you recognize yourself upon the screen. On this site I’ve told the tales of my first experiences that helped define the movie geek…
The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976) – Nicholas Roeg
This entry on the 101 Sci-Fi Movies list is a surreal, dream-like film based on the novel by Walter Tevis, that was interesting, and may require a re-watch at some point in the future, but for now, I’m just going to sit back and just try to soak in what I’ve seen. I didn’t hate…
Dark Star (1974) – John Carpenter
The 101 Sci-Fi Movies brings us some John Carpenter (and my fave ones are coming up a little later in the list as well!). Dark Star is an odd little film, featuring discussions of philosophy with self-aware bombs, attacks by an alien that is literally a beach ball with feet, and some really goofy effects….
Westworld (1973) – Michael Crichton
20 years before we were welcomed to Jurassic Park, and things went sideways, Michael Crichton created another park, where you could see and do amazing things, it was called Delos, and there were three destination worlds held within it, yours for the enjoyment for $1000 a day. You can visit Roman World, Medieval World, or…
Captain Blood (1935) – Michael Curtiz
The 101 Action movies moves into the age of the talkies with this high-seas adventure starring Errol Flynn and Olivia De Havilland. Flynn plays Peter Blood, an Irish doctor who is wrongly convicted of treason against King James, and in lieu of hanging is shipped off to Port Royal in the Caribbean as a slave…
Lost Girl S03E05 – Faes Wide Shut
This week’s episode of Lost Girl begins to give us more questions about what’s going on with our heroes than answers. Bo (Anna Silk) and Lauren (Zoie Palmer) are trying to find a balance between their relationship, and Bo’s need to feed. While they agree that it’s best that Bo has some extracurricular activities…
Mimesis (2011) – Douglas Schulze
Hitting blu-ray and DVD shelves this week is this interesting little release from Anchor Bay Films, Mimesis, which loosely translated means imitation or mimicry. Directed by Douglas Schulze the film posits the idea why watch a horror movie when you can live one? And this is what happens to the poor folk who are fool…
