Bomb Girls S02E05 – The Harder We Fight

  It’s hard to believe we’re almost halfway through the second season of Bomb Girls! Of course this time last year, we only had one episode left to go, so I take solace in the fact that we currently have about half a dozen episodes left to go this time around. If last week was…

The Mind Reels Chat With Kiowa Gordon and Chloe Rose

  Hey All! Here’s the second ever interview we recorded in the TV Smithee studios (the same day as Anna and Seth, that’s why we’re in the same clothes) with Twilight’s Kiowa Gordon, and Degrassi’s Chloe Rose, talking about their film Lesser Blessed which screened at TIFF in 2012. These two are a lot of…

American Ninja 2: The Confrontation (1987) – Sam Firstenberg

I know you’d believe that they made a number of sequels (4 of them all told), but would you believe I watched the second one?! Oh man. Talk about cheesy fun… Golan and Globus have done it again. Our heroes from the first film, Armstrong (Michael Dudikoff) and Jackson (Steve James) are back, and have…

Safety Last (1923) – Fred C. Newmeyer & Sam Taylor

This silent film classic ends up being more of a comedy than an action film but the physicality of the gags and stunts make it a worthy addition to the 101 Action Movies list. Everyone, whether they have seen the film or not, is familiar with the image of Harold Lloyd hanging form a clock face…

The Mind Reels Chats With Anna Silk & Seth Cooperman!

  Now we’re going back a short ways (and I can try and remember what’s with the look on my face in the picture), and bringing you thr first chat Sue and I did in the Smithee.TV studios, with the gracious, charming, and yes, incredibly lovely, Anna Silk from TV’s Lost Girl, and her equally…

The Mind Reels Chats With Lauren Lee Smith!

  Hey all! In case you haven’t got Smithee.TV bookmarked, we thought we’d just leave this awesome little chat we had with Lauren Lee Smith right here for your enjoyment! She’s so much fun, hopefully we can convince her to come back!

Lost Girl S03E04 – Fae-de to Black

  First off… Poor Kenzi (Ksenia Solo). She gets the worst of it this episode, as she keeps trying to tell people about the infection/wound on her arm, but no one seems to have time for her. And then the episode’s ending! I thought it was especially cold when Trick (Rick Howland) says that everyone…

Iron Sky (2012) – Timo Vuorensola

I remember first hearing about this film when it was just a fun little trailer on YouTube. It just looked so terribly goofy, and yet the computer generated effects looked pretty damned good. And how does this not sound like B-movie goodness… Nazis on the moon with flying saucers?!?! It practically writes itself! This would…

The Perils of Pauline (1914) – Louis J. Gasnier & Donald MacKenzie

The serial. Without it, we wouldn’t have films like Star Wars or Raiders of the Lost Ark, which are filled with call backs to the serials of yesteryear. The 101 Action Movies brought me one of the first, The Perils of Pauline. Unfortunately, the entire serial no longer exists. It was apparently composed of 20…

Catching up with Ali Liebert

  Back when Sue and I were so lucky to visit the Bomb Girls set (man that was a fantastic day!), we were also lucky enough to be able to chat with some of the cast who were around that day. We were introduced to the amazing Ali Liebert, who we had only spoken with…
