I spent some time with some old friends… I decided to revisit The Great Muppet Caper. If The Muppet Movie is a generalized version of how our friends all met and decided to go to Hollywood to get rich and famous, then The Great Muppet Caper is the first film they make after they’ve signed…

The Time Machine (1960)
The 101 Sci-Fi Movies allowed me the chance to revisit this fun George Pal classic, featuring Rod Taylor as H. George Wells, this is just a rip-roaring good fun film. Based on the immortal tale by H.G. Wells, the tale is set at the turn of the 20th Century and the film’s protagonist, George has…
Tim’s Halloween Movies
It’s Halloween! Always a fun time of year, and while I could sit here and give you my favorite scary movies, I thought perhaps I would just list 10 films that I really enjoy, in no particular order, ones that are good for a spooky movie night. These are movies that are fun to watch, or you…
The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Good evening Clarice… The best of the best of the serial killer genre, and a most welcome name to come across on the 101 Horror Movies list, as well as one of The Mind Reels’ co-creator Sue Maynard’s favorite movies. I saw this Best Picture film no less than 5 times in the theater (coincidence…
A Personal History of Me and Mr. Bond, James Bond
As Bond 23, Skyfall, draws closer and closer, and James had his cinematic 50th birthday last week, and I celebrate my birthday today, I thought it would be a little fun to look back on my own history with the world’s most famous secret agent. I’d like to say that I got introduced to 007…
Hellraiser (1987)
I came to the worlds created by Clive Barker in late 89, early 90, when I was in University out east in Nova Scotia. Until that time, I’d spent a lot of time with Stephen King books, which I read voraciously, and there were creepy things in them, but never really freaked me out. Clive Barker’s…
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966)
Clint Eastwood returns as the Man With No Name (though this time his name is Blondie) in Sergio Leone’s The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, a film which may be one of the greatest westerns of all time, not to mention a rip-roaring action-adventure. Building on the style, and pacing he created in the…
Evil Dead II (1987)
Bruce Campbell. It doesn’t get any better than him. He simply is awesome. So imagine my delight when the 101 Horror Movies led me to Evil Dead II! I love these movies, and honestly, anything with Bruce is worth the watch, because it’s Bruce, and watching his reactions, his exaggerated expressions, and some of…
Lethal Weapon (1987)
I decided to revisit an action classic. (Edit: And again for the !01 Action Movies) Lethal Weapon, after 25 years, is still awesome. Directed by Richard Donner (Superman: The Movie) stars Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, and Gary Busey. It also boasts a script penned by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) who is returning to…
The War of The Worlds (1953)
The updated moral of the story may be remember to get your vaccination shots, but this film, a welcome re-discovery on the 101 Sci-Fi Movies list is always an enjoyable watch. Based on the immortal tale by H.G. Wells, the story is updated, and lifted from England, and placed on the Pacific coast of the…
