Jesse gets himself into a mess, and this time out, the third film, it follows more of a mystery set-up, letting us puzzle over clues and motives to find out who committed the murder. The always likeable Tom Selleck returns as Police Chief Jesse Stone in Robert B. Parker’s Death In Paradise. Stone is a…

Juan Of The Dead – Alejandro Brugues
I was fortunate enough to catch a screening of Cuba’s first zombie film when it premiered last fall at TIFF, and it easily became an instant favourite. Tonight, Juan of the Dead is screening again in Toronto, this time as part of Toronto After Dark’s Summer Screening Series at the Bloor Cinema. Tim and…
The Newsroom S01 E01- We Just Decided To
Integrity. Honesty. Accountability. Objectivity. Not words that one tends to associate with the news, and journalists who are restricted to presenting the ‘facts’ as their corporate sponsors want nowadays. That’s not to say that there aren’t hardworking investigative journalists out there anymore. I know there are. It’s just too bad, they are being shoved aside…
Continuum S01 E05 – A Test of Time
This week, series creator Simon Barry, and writer Jeff King bring us my favorite episode of Continuum so far, by introducing a lot of things to think about in terms of timelines in paradoxes. Because this week, Kagame (Tony Amendola) and Liber8 spring into full Terminator-mode, going after CPS Protector Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols) through…
Abraham Lincoln ~ Vampire Hunter (2012)
With a title like Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, you kind of know what you’re getting when you walk into the theater – tongue in cheek, revisionist history, filled with vampires. In short, the film is ludicrous fun. Did I need to see it in the theater, probably not, I could’ve patiently waited for it to…
Brave (2012)
Welcome back Pixar! I’ve made it known that I’m not the biggest fan of Cars 2, Pixar’s effort from last year. But over the years they have generated such good will on my part that they always get me to come back for more – I have seen every single Pixar film in the theaters,…
The Killing – Day 26 – What I Know
First of all, I am sorry this has taken so long to write. This past week has been ridiculous with work and, to be honest, I was such an emotional mess after the finale that even now I am having trouble expressing how much I loved it, the whole series, and everyone who had…
Jesse Stone: Night Passage (2006)
“I’m the police chief, I know everything.” After discovering the character of Jesse Stone in Stone Cold, portrayed in this series of films by the always awesome Tom Selleck, I knew I would be back for more. So I settled in for the second installment of these TV movies, Night Passage. This film is a prequel…
The Hills Have Eyes (1977)
Wes Craven returns to the 101 Horror Movies list with his 1977 classic, The Hills Have Eyes. The film originally received an X-rating, but Craven made a couple of additional cuts to make it a hard R. There was a remake not so long ago, and for the most part, I remember it being fairly…
Krull (1983)
Apparently I was a goofy kid when I was younger, because this movie does not stand up well to the test of the time. It was one of those ones that I had the Scholastic novel for (by Alan Dean Foster) as well as the big super-size Marvel comic. And I thought the glaive was…
