Well, if the Season 2 finale ended with a bang, then the Season 3 premiere can be said to have blown things wide open! This episode was an incredible rush from start to finish, and if the rest of the season is at all like its opener, then we are in for a dark…

Joining Clilnt in Spain for this shoot was fellow American Lee Van Cleef as Colonel Douglas Mortimer. The two men are competing…
Lethal Weapon (1987)
I decided to revisit an action classic. (Edit: And again for the !01 Action Movies) Lethal Weapon, after 25 years, is still awesome. Directed by Richard Donner (Superman: The Movie) stars Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, and Gary Busey. It also boasts a script penned by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) who is returning to…
Them! (1954)
Ok, well they can’t all be winners. This time, the 101 Sci-Fi Movies list brought me one that just barely held my interest. I just couldn’t get into it. It was about giant ants, so created because they came from the White Sands nuclear testing grounds, and the story was a thinly veiled film against…
Re-Animator (1985)
The 101 Horror Movies strikes again, with this cult classic, featuring genre favoourite Jeffrey Combs. Based loosely on the original tale by the always chilling work of H.P. Lovecraft, the film, directed by Stuart Gordon, is a wonderful over-the-top gorefest. We follow Herbert West (Combs) from an interesting experiment in Sweden back to the States…
The War of The Worlds (1953)
The updated moral of the story may be remember to get your vaccination shots, but this film, a welcome re-discovery on the 101 Sci-Fi Movies list is always an enjoyable watch. Based on the immortal tale by H.G. Wells, the story is updated, and lifted from England, and placed on the Pacific coast of the…
Doctor Who S07E04 – The Power of Three
This isn’t your typical Doctor Who story, and I think that’s why I like it as much as I do. Penned by Chris Chibnall this gentle, character focussed episode takes the Ponds out of the Doctor’s life, and puts him into theirs. It’s no secret that this is the penultimate episode for the Ponds,…
Haven 101:
A Fairly Spoiler-Free Guide To The First Two Seasons Of One Of TV’s Finest Shows Haven is a supernatural series based on a short story by Stephen King called The Colorado Kid. It all takes place in the small fictional coast town of Haven, Maine, where mysterious things happen sometimes, and no one has been able to…
A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)
The 101 Horror Movies list has brought yet another one of my favourites to me for a revisit. 1984’s classic, A Nightmare On Elm Street, and it may sound like a sell out, but this is my favorite Wes Craven film, It seems to perfectly balance the horror films of the 1980s – the supernatural and…
The Hunger (1983)
Tony Scott, the brother of Ridley, makes the 101 Horror Movies list with his very first film, The Hunger. This is a movie that is sexy and sensual, but also introduces the lonely, sympathetic version of the vampire to the big screen. I’m sure this creature had lurked around awhile before finding its way to…
