Cabin In The Woods
Sue and I got to take in a sneak peek of Drew Goddard’s new film Cabin In The Woods last night, with the director in attendance for a post-show Q&A. And the film entertained! It takes the genre we know so well, and gives it a whole new life… The tagline on the poster to…
The Lost Girl Pre Show Taping
So Sue and I got some great news today! We were selected to join the small audience chosen to attend to the taping of the Lost Girl Finale Pre-Show! We actually had a huge geek out at work, much to everyone’s amusement. We got a quiet little email from Showcase notifying us we had…
Game of Thrones Exhibit at the Lightbox
Yup, sometimes being here in Toronto is pretty cool. It also helps to have some awesome friends who offered me a free ticket to take in the Game of Thrones Exhibit being put on at the Lightbox, the home of the Toronto International Film Festival. I have to say that I like the Lightbox, and I keep…
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
“They’re coming to get you, Barbara…” It’s a classic, oft-quoted line, but one that gets me right in the mood for it’s source material. And the Z word is never used, they are in fact referred to as ghouls. This film can be seen as the transition point for zombies… from living dead servants…
My Week With Marilyn: A Non-Review
I really have no desire to review this film – there’s nothing I could say that hasn’t been said already a thousand times over. I feel the need, instead, to convey my personal experience while watching the movie, and what it meant to me. My love affair with Marilyn Monroe began years and years ago,…
The Devil Rides Out (1968)
Released as The Devil’s Bride in North America, this 1968 Hammer film is one of sheer delight. Not the least of which is Christopher Lee in a heroic role for a change, and Charles Gray (who I enjoyed in both his appearances in the Bond series, as well as The Rocky Horror Picture Show) as…
Guidestones
One of the very cool things that Sue and I discovered yesterday is a webseries called Guidestones. We spent some time chatting with their street team at their table as well as attending their presentation. We were very lucky to be able to find time to chat with series writer/director Jay Ferguson, and stars Supinder…
Rosemary’s Baby (1968)
Roman Polanski reappears on the list of 101 Horror Movies with the classic Rosemary’s Baby. Mia Farrow plays Rosemary Woodhouse, who with her husband, tv commercial actor Guy (John Cassavetes) moves into a new place, an old, charming looking apartment building. However, a number of odd occurrences and an unexpected and mysterious pregnancy, send Rosemary…
Hour of the Wolf (1968)
I’m not sure where I come down on this film. There were moments that actually made me anxious, though there is nothing graphically disturbing happening. In what was Ingmar Bergman’s only horror film, the wonderful Max Von Sydow takes center stage as an artist plagued by the ghosts and demons of his past, though whether…
