So Paramount and associated companies laid out quite the event the other night for Valentine’s Day by giving a select few audiences a sneak peek at the re-release of Titanic in April, newly upgraded to 3D. Now before you heave that sigh, and say 3D, really?? Titanic?? The one thing one needs to remember about…

The Woman In Black
Sue and I finally got to the theater this week to see The Woman In Black… Hammer films have begun to make a resurgence. A staple of the mid-50s through to the 70s, they brought some classic horror films to light, including the Curse of Frankenstein which I recently watched, as well as The Horror…
A Saturday’s Paranormal Activity
Earlier this week at the screening of the new tv series The River, I won a prize pack which included autographed copies of all of three (to-date) Paranormal Activity films. So Saturday morning, while I settled in to do laundry and groceries, I worked my way through all three films. The first is still my…
The Bad Seed (1956)
Before there was Damien, there was Rhoda. The Bad Seed, based on the stage play of the same name, made its way onto the big screen in 1956, and garnered itself 4 Oscar nominations, 3 for acting, and 1 for cinematography. The story focuses on a mother’s descent into madness, spurred on by the love…
Bomb Girls: Episode 6 – Element of Surprise
Knowing that this episode was only the end of Season 1 and not the series certainly made it easier to get through. If this had been the last time I was to find myself in the company of Betty, Gladys, Kate, Lorna, Vera, Bob and Edith then I’m not sure I would’ve watched the episode…
Kiefer Sutherland Double Feature at The Digital Film Festival
As we know, I don’t have television at home. I put the internet to good use and watch my shows that way. That is why I could go out last night and not have guilt about not watching the Bomb Girls season finale (something I plan to do as soon as I get in the…
The River – Episodes 1 & 2
The River is the concerted effort of Oren Peli, of Paranormal Activity fame, and Steven Spielberg (amongst others of course), who made his own foray into spooky territory with Poltergeist. A film which Peli later paid homage to with James Wan with Insidious, which I have to admit, had some interesting moments, ideas, and a…
Red Dog – Review
I love when people introduce me to films I may not have seen from other parts of the world. Tonight I was lucky enough to watch one that I could sum up in one word, but it wouldn’t be a very long review… That word is fantastic. The movie comes from Australia. It’s based on…
Moon Point
A lot of indie Canadian films seem to get lost when doing battle against the bigger-budgeted films that populate the box office. That’s why when a smaller film comes along that really catches our attention, like the Untitled Work of Paul Shepard (hoping for a DVD release date soon!!), we like to talk it up…
Bomb Girls: Episode 5 – Armistice
In watching this episode of Bomb Girls, I was thinking perhaps a sub-title was needed under this week’s title – this is the price we pay. I’m not talking in terms of comeuppance or karma, I’m referring simply to what we pay in lives and emotions, in response to war. And this week, they pull…
