One of the things I received this year for Christmas was this little book. And I thought, I would work my way through the titles I haven’t seen, watch them, and perhaps rewatch the ones I have seen, and work my way through the entire book, and blog about them as I went. I’m looking…
Category: Did You See That?!? (Tv & Film)
Trailers for the Holidays.
Movies, Books and tv shows… or toys related to them. If that’s what people get me for Christmas, they tend never to go wrong, and the Industry certainly delivered some fun stuff for me today… Starting with a return to the Shire… I got chills seeing Sir Ian as Gandalf again!! The Hobbit! Of course,…
Lost Girl Fall Finale 2×13 Barometz. Trick. Pressure.
Lost Girl had it’s mid-season finale this Sunday, and what a way to leave us hanging! They’ve ratcheted things up a notch, and there is now a palatable threat hanging over our band of heroes. SPOILERS!!!! I did notice that whether by design or not, the important humans in their lives have been moved out…
Fright Night (Remake & Original)
So this weekend, I finally sat down to watch the remake of Fright Night. I should point out that until Let The Right One In came along, the original Fright Night, from way back in 1985 and the one and only The Lost Boys, from 1987, were my all time favorite vampire movies, but…
Mission: Impossible 4 – Ghost Protocol (The IMAX Experience)
Brad Bird’s first live action film is a success. The Pixar director who was behind The Incredibles, and Ratatouille, and Warner’s The Iron Giant, brought his storytelling and action style to the big screen with the latest in the Mission: Impossible franchise. Tom Cruise returns as IMF agent Ethan Hunt in what may be the…
What’s in a Fairytale: An Introduction to TV’s Grimm and Once Upon A Time
In the spate of new shows that began this fall, two in particular caught my eye, simply because they both seemed to revolve around the world of fairytales. Having just written my very first of the genre, I was mildly interested to see what sort of new things would be brought to the old standbys…
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy – Review
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is an old school, cold-war spy thriller. And sadly, I think it’s not going to find as much of an audience as I would like it to here in North America. There’s not enough flash to hold the attention of the younger movie watchers who make up the large percentage of…
Prometheus Poster
Yes, I know, I know, I just did a post about how the art of the movie poster is dying, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some cool posters out there. Course, added to the fact that I really am getting amped for this movie maybe that’s why I think it looks cool… But I…
The Expendables 2
I’ll admit to having a week spot for big, loud action movies, but they can’t be completely plotless, or moronic, of which there is more than a fair share. Not to mention the big blockbuster rehashes that seem to be standard fare now. Sigh. But every now and then a mindless action movie comes along…
BBC’s Apparitions
I love it when I come across a show that I hav never heard of before, and it completely catches me off guard in how much I enjoy it. Admittedly that happens more with British television than North American television, because whether I’ve seen them or not, I’ve at least heard of most of the…
