Had some time yesterday, to return to the exploration of 101 Horror Movies, and settled in to watch Cat People, which in the end is a story of sexual repression, with terrible repercussions for those involved. Simone Simon stars as Irena a Serbian-born fashion sketch artist, who has come to America to work. Against her…

Bomb Girls: Episode 4 – Bringing Up Bombshell
Episode 4, puts us past the halfway mark, and leads us racing towards the end of the first season (which implies there will be a second season, and personally that’s the way I like to see it). Ali Liebert, in our interview with her earlier in the week said this episode pushes her character…
Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
Bride of Frankenstein picks up right where the first one ended with the angry townspeople and trying to burn out the monster. After most of the townsfolk amble away in a post-mob funk we learn that both the monster and Henry Frankenstein (Henry?? Really?? I know I harped on that last time, but wow,…
The Black Cat (1934)
Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, together for the first time!! Stealing it’s title from an Edgar Allen Poe tale, the film actually has nothing to do with the story, despite saying it’s based on it. Two honeymooners visiting Hungary get caught up in a a life and death struggle between the two horror icons. Lugosi…
Bomb Girls: Episode 3 – How You Trust
Now that we know the characters we’ve been introduced to, and the world they live in, they can stat to introduce change, and this episode does that full-out for five of the show’s characters in big ways. And let’s not forget Billie Holiday. Her music, depending on your mood can be heard as happy, thoughtful,…
The Hewletts (Kate & David) in Assassidate Episode 1
Yes, we got to sit down and chat with Kate Hewlett the other night, and she is just as awesome and hilarious in person as you would expect. In fact I can confidently say that our interview slid right off the rails, and ended up with us simply chatting and laughing, and laughing and…
King Kong (1933)
Some films stand the tests of time, eternally appealing. King Kong is one of those films. This is yet another of the titles listed in 101 Horror Movies, but honestly, I was simply just looking for an excuse to pull it out of my collection and give it another watch. While Peter Jackson remade it…
Sherlock S02E03 – The Reichenbach Fall
What would you do to save the most important people in your life? Would you commit suicide? Looks like Sherlock may find out… Somehow it’s already here… the season (not series!) finale of Sherlock. This one is a helluva romp! The episode sees the return of Jim Moriarty, cunningly played by Andrew Scott, who in…
Degrassi Junior High Season 2
Season 2 of Degrassi Junior High sees the second half of our kids first year in Grades 7 & 8 respectively. The stories and the characters are still resonate, and it’s so amazing to watch all these young people grow up before your eyes. Long before we were enchanted with Hogwarts Academy, we were…
The Island of Lost Souls (1932)
Charles Laughton takes on the role of Dr. Moreau in this version of the classic H.G. Wells tale. It is also, for me, probably the best adaptation of the subject matter that I have seen on the big screen. Laughton’s performance is gleeful, and he’s a lot of fun to watch. You can see the…
