Game of Thrones S02 E07 & E08

As we know, things went sideways for me last week, so I didn’t have a chance to watch Game of Thrones until this evening, and watched both eps back to back again. To be honest, I almost prefer it this way, getting two hours of solid entertainment. Theon Greyjoy, having installed himself into Winterfell, wakes…

The Killing – Day 22 – Sayonara, Hiawatha

  Before I begin gushing about how much Holder ROCKED this episode, let me attempt to talk about some of the other characters and moments I also loved!  In no particular order, of course. Darren Richmond – he is really back on his political horse now, and so far looks to be somehow more able…

Hanging with Axel Foley

I revisited my old friend Axel Foley this weekend. In the 80s the first two were simply awesome, it’s just too bad that they made such a misstep with the 3rd film. The first film directed by Martin Brest, is Eddie Murphy at the height of his hilarity, but for all that, the film isn’t…

Deathdream (1974)

This is one of those small low budget horror movies that kind of gets lost in the shuffle, added to the fact that it has suffered a number of name changes as well, including Dead of Night, The Night Walk, and The Night Andy Came Home, it was really no wonder that I hadn’t even…

Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959)

I’m not quite sure how this film was missed in my upbringing, but I never saw it, though I do love Jules Verne. The man had a brilliant imagination and even today, his stories can fire us up, instill in us that sense of wonder and exploration that for me is the height of adventure….

The Wicker Man (1973)

Please forget the unnecessary abomination from 2006, this is the one and only version of this film as far as I’m concerned. The Wicker Man is a film that shows the sacrifice of the belief in the new god to appease the old gods. That’s something that really wouldn’t get made today! And if it…

The Exorcist (1973)

  The tubular bells musical piece, the dizzying staircase, the silhouette image of Father Merrin standing outside the house looking at his destiny, the insets of the demon Pazuzu, the pea soup, the head turn, the crucifix scene, the exorcism… so many things make this film stand out. As I work my way through the…

Continuum – Meet Carlos Fonnegra

When Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols), CPS Protector, ends up back in the year 2012 in pursuit of the escaped group of terrorists calling themselves Liber8, she realizes she may need help. She has the young techno-wiz Alec helping her out with info and coms, but she needs someone to physically cover her back as well. Posing…

Good Morning, Mr. Hunt

  Good morning, Mr. Hunt… You’re mission should you choose to accept it… I settled down to watch my copies of the Mission: Impossible films this weekend, and I will say this, this is a film series that undeniably gets better as they go along. Though if I was chosen to rank them, I think…

The Killing – Day 21 – Off The Reservation

  I don’t know about you guys, but I found this to be one of the most heart-wrenching episodes of the season so far.  Between watching Linden search for Holder with the same fervor she’s used in her quest to find Rosie’s killer, to watching Stan Larsen’s face as he interviewed that last witness…so many…
