Reimagined as Vanilla Sky in North America, the original film is a wonderfully crafted imagining and a welcome addition to the 101 Sci-Fi Movies list.

City Lights (1931) – Charlie Chaplin
Great Movies – 100 Years of Film has already proven itself a rather joyous addition to my collection, as I had an opportunity to watch another film listed as a recommendation after The Gold Rush. This time around Charlie Chaplin’s Tramp, one of the most iconic characters in cinema wanders the streets of the…
FANomenon (2013) – Lynne Carter
Premiering this evening on Global as part of a new series called Obsessions, is this fascinating documentary about fandom, and the revelation of one of the largest driving forces behind it, women.

Marvel: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S01E03 – The Asset
Ok, this one was stronger than last week’s ep, and we’re still seeing the team coalesce. I’m hoping we’re almost at the point where that happens and storylines can get big and epic, our characters can grow and change, and we’ll get to explore a little bit more of the Marvel Universe, as opposed to…

Modern Times (1936) – Charlie Chaplin
The Great Movies – 100 Years of Film continues to entertain as I continue to make my way through the 5 associated titles with The Gold Rush. This effort also directed and starring Chaplin features a rudimentary soundtrack, and is delightful fun. Even in the 30s the continuing, striving pace of technology and progress…
Nothing Left To Fear (2013) – Anthony Leonardi III
Anchor Bay sent a long Nothing To Fear for me to take a look at this week, it’s getting a lot of chatter because it is being produced by legendary rocker Slash and his production company. In the film’s special features Slash voices an opinion of horror movies that I quite agree with, the…
