Brian DePalma returns to the 101 Horror Movies list, but I have to say, this one isn’t so much of a horror as it is an erotic thriller. Emphasis on erotic. In the opening scene, Angie Dickinson, as Kate Miller, completely changed the world’s perception of her as the straitlaced character she played in Police Woman…

The Bourne Legacy (2012)
So I took in the latest in the Bourne series yesterday, The Bourne Legacy, with Jeremy Renner taking the lead as a new character to be introduced into the expanded film universe originally created by Robert Ludlum, and brought to life on the big screen with Matt Damon as Jason Bourne. Renner plays Aaron Cross, another…
Jesse Stone: Innocents Lost (2011)
Yup, back to Paradise Massachusetts (still lovely Nova Scotia) again. Robert B Parker’s Jesse Stone (Tom Selleck) is back for more in the 7th telefilm based on the book series. This installment picks up three weeks after No Remorse. The town council has granted Stone early retirement, and because of the way they handled the…
ParaNorman (2012)
I don’t think I’m cynical or jaded when it comes to viewing a movie. I can still lose myself in characters and stories and worlds, it just seems that lately a lot of the films I’ve seen in theaters hold no real surprises for me, nor do they engage me as much as I wish…
The Shining (1980)
Stanley Kubrick and Stephen King. If there was ever a movie to give me nightmares, it would be this one, though it’s never happened. I love every chance I get to revisit this film, and seeing it on the list of 101 Horror Movies just gave me my most recent excuse to watch it again….
The Newsroom S01 E07 – 5/1
This week Aaron Sorkin’s brilliant drama takes us to the evening of May 1, 2011. Will (Jeff Daniels) is hosting a party at his apartment (something he’s not completely comfortable doing, and tells people that he won’t feel bad if people leave early) and even plays guitar and sings with Jim (John Gallagher Jr) Charlie…
Continuum S01 E10 – End Times
Somehow we’ve come to the end of the first season of Showcase’s enjoyable sci-fi series Continuum, and it ends explosively! It also ties up a number of story threads for the season while setting up ideas for season 2. We see things happening in our 2077 opener, that tie directly back to the first…
Friday The 13th (1980) – Revisited
I’m revisiting this one, though I wrote a post about it some time ago. Apprently it made the list of 101 Horror Movies, so I thought I would reexamine it in the context of all that had gone before it. Much like Halloween before it, it full on embraces the stalker/slasher films that permeated the…
Aelita (1924)
So Mother Russia, what do you have in store for me with this offering from 1924 as presented in 101 Sci-Fi Movies… There’s love, murder, jealousy, conspiracy, inter-planetary travel, the red-tape of bureaucracy, revolution and socialist propaganda. Sadly, I just made the film sound more exciting than I actually found it. The story follows Los…
Le Voyage Dans La Lune (1902)
That special certain someone who picked me up the 101 Horror Movies to See Before You Die has done it again. This time she gave me 101 Sci-Fi movies to see before you die. Now, while I haven’t finished the horror movies yet, I thought it would be fun to mix it up a bit,…
