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…

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…

The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)

I’ve jumped into a whole new decade in 101 Horror Movies, and I’ve come across the first Hammer film on the list. Hammer is an iconic studio name for horror fans, churning out some classics, some not so classics, and always colorful posters that highlighted the terror of the monster, and the curves of the…

Late To The Party – Downton Abbey

  I’ll be the first to admit that I came to this show late. I’ll also admit that currently I am only two episodes into the first series. I do know that I’m going to fly through it pretty quick! As we know, or maybe we don’t, I love my British television. I had heard…

Lost Girl – Flirting with the Dark Side

Lost Girl Season 2 resumed last Sunday, and again has launched us back into the world of the Fae. Sadly, Lauren and Nadia are still *ahem* reconnecting, I’m eager for Lauren’s return, especially now that things are changing in Bo and Kenzi’s world. The gentleman caller who showed up at Bo’s birthday to present her…

I Walked With A Zombie (1943)

A Canadian nurse moves to the West Indies to look after a sick woman, but finds a world filled with voodoo and zombies! Frances Dee plays Betsy, the nurse brought to the West Indies to look after the wife of Paul Holland. After suffering a terrible fever, she seems to have dropped into a zombie-like…
