With a name like Detective Dee and The Mystery of The Phantom Flame, you just knew I’d get around to watching this… It sounds like pure pulp and a lot of fun. Which is pretty much exactly what it was. Directed by Hark Tsui, the film is set in 690 B.C.E. Andy Lau, plays the…

Continuum S01 E03 – Wasting Time
We join Kiera in 2077 in this week’s opener, as she is kitted out in full assault gear to chase down an ex-soldier who has become a Liber8 revolutionary. Finding their target behind a holographic wall, they capture Sonya (Lexa Doig), code-named The Queen of Hearts. This transitions us back to 2012 where Kiera Cameron…
The Killing – Day 25 – Donnie or Marie
This show is KILLING me!!! So so good – every episode has been amazing, and there was so much going on this week that I had a hard time falling asleep after! Let’s just jump right in, shall we? The key card Linden found on the 10th floor belongs to someone in Richmond’s camp. …
Prometheus (2012) – Some Thoughts and Questions…
Prometheus is a film with some big ideas. This is a film I’ve been looking forward to since I learned Sir Ridley was returning to the universe that he helped create and establish. Is Prometheus a perfect movie? Far from, many of the secondary characters and even some of the leads are interchangeable. But it’s…
Killer Elite (2011)
This is a good movie, but by no means a great movie. Adversely none of the characters in the film are good at all, barring of course Yvonne Strahovski, who plays the innocent love interest for Jason Statham’s character Danny. The film is based, loosely, on the non-fiction The Feather Men by Ranulph Fiennes, which…
Black Hawk Down (2001)
So as Prometheus draws one day closer, I wanted to watch another of my Ridley Scott faves – so I settled in for Black Hawk Down. This movie is fantastic! But I only own it on DVD, as I refuse to upgrade my copy to blu-ray until Sony releases the deluxe edition as opposed to…
The Secret of NIMH (1982)
Don Bluth came up through the ranks of the Disney Company, and in the late 70s and early 80s when the studio seemed to be no longer producing films on par with what they had in the past, he left. Forming his own animation production he went on to make some of the best films…
Game of Thrones S02 E10 – Valar Morghulis
There it is, the season finale, and we’re done for another year, it’s gonna be a long wait for a return to Westeros, but maybe I’ll read Dance of Dragons between now and then to fill up some of the time. This week, we saw the fallout of the Battle of Breakwater, as well as…
Romancing The Stone (1984)
“Romantic novelist my ass!” “The Joan Wilder?!?” I love this movie, it’s just so much fun, and has so many wonderful lines that tend to fall from my lips on a regular basis. In the early 80s, everyone was kind of keen to cash in on the big adventure stories ever since they saw what…
Continuum S01 E02 – Fast Times
Continuum throws us right back into it this week, putting us right back in the year 2077 with Kiera (Rachel Nichols) getting outfitted as a CPS Protector for the first time, we learn some info about her, her CPS ID – 116914 and see her getting her tech issued, including her wicked pistol, her…
