It had to happen sooner or later. I would have to watch a Woody Allen movie. I’ve never been a fan, I just don’t find him that funny, and this entry on the 101 Sci-Fi Movies list seems to support that belief, with one of the first films I’ve been truly disappointed with on the…

High Tension (2003) – Alexandre Aja
The 101 Horror Movies, as it draws closer to the end of the list (there’s only 4 left!), brings us this updated take on the traditional slasher movie with a twist. It’s a graphic and bloody romp, most of it making me just go Ahhh! And shaking my head saying “That’s awesome.” That lasted until…
The Fantastic Planet (1973) – Rene Laloux
The 101 Sci-Fi Movies has brought me an animated film! And an odd little film it is. Based on a novel by Stefan Wul, the story is a tale of two races, the giant blue-skinned, red-eyed Draags and the tiny Oms – Humans, who are seen as nothing more than an infestation on the planet,…
The Following – S0E01&E02 – Thoughts So Far
Serial killers have always fascinated the darker parts of our psyches, what makes people such monsters? We’ve learned that most serial killers hunt alone, but what if one was so charming, so intelligent that he cultivates other souls like him, so adept at making his murders art, that he developed a following? Creepy right? That’s the launching…
Mama – Andres Muschietti
Usually, early in the new year, the films that come out are…well…fairly crappy. There are, of course, exceptions to every rule. Silence of the Lambs, for example, is one of my top ten favourite movies of all time, and it was so good it held on all year to be showered with accolades during…
Chronicle (2012) – Josh Trank
I’m tired of hand-held, found footage type films. That being said, I rather liked this film, though I personally would have preferred it was shot without the hand held stuff, though some of it does work really well! It’s a nice updated take on the basic superhero/super-villain story, and the final battle put me in…
Bomb Girls S02E05 – The Harder We Fight
It’s hard to believe we’re almost halfway through the second season of Bomb Girls! Of course this time last year, we only had one episode left to go, so I take solace in the fact that we currently have about half a dozen episodes left to go this time around. If last week was…
American Ninja 2: The Confrontation (1987) – Sam Firstenberg
I know you’d believe that they made a number of sequels (4 of them all told), but would you believe I watched the second one?! Oh man. Talk about cheesy fun… Golan and Globus have done it again. Our heroes from the first film, Armstrong (Michael Dudikoff) and Jackson (Steve James) are back, and have…
Safety Last (1923) – Fred C. Newmeyer & Sam Taylor
This silent film classic ends up being more of a comedy than an action film but the physicality of the gags and stunts make it a worthy addition to the 101 Action Movies list. Everyone, whether they have seen the film or not, is familiar with the image of Harold Lloyd hanging form a clock face…
Lost Girl S03E04 – Fae-de to Black
First off… Poor Kenzi (Ksenia Solo). She gets the worst of it this episode, as she keeps trying to tell people about the infection/wound on her arm, but no one seems to have time for her. And then the episode’s ending! I thought it was especially cold when Trick (Rick Howland) says that everyone…
