Well, here we are…a new season is upon us as bachelor Ben Flajnik takes centre stage on his quest to find true love. Last night saw a parade of – let’s say interesting and memorable – women, pass by Ben between the limos (and one horse) and the Bachelor mansion. The field was whittled down…

The Meta World and Works of Castle
Castle, the TV show, is a guilty pleasure. I followed Nathan Fillion from the skies and ‘Verse of Firefly and Serenity to the mean streets of L.A. masquerading as New York in Castle. And Stana Katic, well, who wouldn’t follow her anywhere? Tough, vulnerable, smart, sexy and a cop? I only know one other person like…
M (1931)
Fritz Lang did it again. Of all the films I’ve watched so far, using 101 Horror Movies as my guide, this and Nosferatu are probably my favorites so far. The story is good, and its also very disturbing. Peter Lorre plays Hans Beckert, and he is a child killer, first appearing as a malignant shadow talking…
Sherlock S02 E01 – A Scandal In Belgravia
Oh Sherlock, how I missed you sir. I had no doubt that you would return, but the wait was too long! But know what? Totally worth it. Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss the series creators who brought this updated version of the classic consulting detective and his associate Dr. John Watson into the modern age…
Tim’s Tops of 2011
I’m gonna take a page from my creative partner, Sue, and give a run down of my favorite films of the year; though it appears that we do have a lot of the same films on our list. 1) The Muppets – This movie is sheer joy, and by far the best time at the…
The Phantom of The Opera (1925)
It’s hard to imagine a time before the 80s when there wasn’t a musical associated with this title, but the story is the same, and the film stands up as one of the great silent films as well as a great performance by Lon Chaney as Erik, also known as The Phantom. Based on the…
Sue’s Top Flick Picks of 2011
Now that 2011 is done and gone, and 2012 is finally upon us, I thought I’d take a bit of time to go through the plethora of flicks I saw in theatres throughout the course of the year. I dug out as many ticket stubs as I could find – yes, I keep them…I am…
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
The last film I saw of 2011, and the first movie I’m reviewing of 2012 is the American remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. As stated in my rave about The Snowman, I flew through all three books in the trilogy in 2010, and bought the blu-rays for the Swedish sight unseen, and…
The Golem (1920) & Frankenstein (1931)
Last night’s fare featured slightly similar themed films, man creating life, playing god as it were. The first film up was from 1920, and one of the last silent films recommended in 101 Horror Movies, the German film The Golem. The second film up came from Hollywood, and the year 1931, and featured Boris Karloff…
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919)
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is the oldest film listed in the little book I got for Christmas (101 Horror Movies) and so far has been my least favorite. The story is fairly simplistic, a fair arrives in town, and two friends, in love with the same woman go to see a sideshow put on…
