Pixar’s Brave

Pixar doesn’t need me to defend them from the trolls and bullies of cyberspace, I’ll let their work speak for itself, and it is a very impressive body of work, only two real missteps in twelve films (I was willing to forgive the original Cars, which was fun, and gorgeous to look at, but Cars…

The Hunger Games Trailer

Is it March yet? In the words of Sue Maynard, the site’s co-creator and fellow writer, “I haven’t been this excited about a movie, or book series in a very long time.” And you know what? I agree with her. Yes, there are films I’m looking forward to, The Muppets on the 23rd, Brad Bird’s live…

What Did I Watch This Week? Vol.2

So that’s another week down, and boy does one’s week fill up fast. Last week, I had time for all kinds of things to watch, not so much this time around. I guess that’s what happens when life happens. Still I did make time to watch a few films, and a little bit more telly…

The Immortals… isn’t.

One of the kindest things I can say about The Immortals is that I didn’t hate it. I went into the the theater with zero expectations, and in fact had discussed with fellow blogger Ryan McNeil from http://www.thematinee.ca/ how we both expected to hate it. Not that either of us went in with an intent…

Why I’m Looking Forward To The Muppets

The Muppets are honest souls. And before you point out that they aren’t even real, I argue that point, and say they are, from a certain point of view. The fact that two, to three people can work together to bring the performance of these characters to life actually gives me hope for society in…

What Did I Watch This Week? Vol. 1

Welcome to the weekend! And what a week it’s been, between work, reading, chasing down interviews and blogging how did I find time to watch all the things I talk about below… I really don’t know. I kept a running list of all the things I watched this weekend, and well, it’s a lot! But…

A Second Look – The Untitled Work of Paul Shepard

We returned to the Carlton Cinema last night to enjoy a second performance of The Untitled Work of Paul Shepard. And I have to say, I enjoyed it even more this time around. After our laugh filled, extremely enjoyable interviews with the film’s director, the awesome and seriously funny Jeremy LaLonde, the producer, the ebullient and…

The Vampire Diaries – TV Series

  Okay, I can’t believe I am writing this post, but at the same time, I HAVE to. See, I’ve been a closet TVD fan pretty much from the beginning. I don’t remember the moment I decided to check it out (let alone have my PVR record each and every episode), but I remember watching…

The Untitled Work of Paul Shepard Cast Q&A

This vid has been making the rounds on Facebook, and we wanted to link to it on our site as well. This vid was shot by some Lost Girl fans sitting directly behind Sue and I who seemed to enjoy the movie as much as we did. Enjoy!

Where Have All The Good Scares Gone?

Is it possible that the horror genre has become so spotlit in the mainstream media, that it no longer has any shadows for scary things to hide in? Fear and scares are dependent on the individual, what freaks someone out won’t phase the next. If that’s the case, shouldn’t there be more variety in the…
