Orphan Black, and its engaging lead, Tatiana Maslany continues to wow as this week we tumble deeper into the conspiracy, where threads are connected, and trouble is brewing. Sarah (Maslany) meets back up with a slightly recovered Helena, released by her minder to continue hunting down the clones. Paul (Dylan Bruce) deals with Olivier (David…
Doctor Who S07E13 – Nightmare In Silver
If I had known last week during the teaser ad that Neil Gaiman was penning this week’s episode then all my worries would have been allayed. I just saw kids in the TARDIS and I was a little worried. I shouldn’t have. Everything in this episode seems to work on full thrusters, and so…
Orphan Black S01E06 – Variations Under Domestication
Yup, almost caught up! I’m ready for tonight’s episode and should have that ready to go at some point tomorrow! I highly enjoyed this episode, it’s not easy so early in the run of a series to do not quite a flat-out comedy, but really play up the humorous side of a story while still…
Tron (1982) – Steven Lisberger
I remember the first time I saw this, it was in the Hyland Theater in Kingston, which is now known as Stages Nightclub (sigh). My father took us to see it, but he obviously didn’t get it, cause he fell asleep during the film’s run time. But I loved it. I was intrigued by video games, the…
The Thing (1982) – John Carpenter
The amazing science fiction year that was 1982 continues! As much as I love Escape From New York and Big Trouble In Little China, I think this is probably my favorite John Carpenter film, and I was so glad it’s on the 101 Sci_Fi Movies list. Based on the 1951 classic The Thing From Another…
The Anderson Tapes (1971) – Sidney Lumet
Mr. Sean Connery appears on the 101 Action Movies list again, this time on the other side of the law, as the likable Duke Anderson, sans hairpiece, a safe-cracker, fresh from a ten-year stint in prison, who is about to dive back into the only world he’s known, only to find it’s changed in this film from…
Bomb Girls – The Final Episode…
I’ve written about Bomb Girls since it started. Sue and I have interviewed Meg Tilly, Jodi Balfour, Charlotte Hegele, Ali Liebert, Michael Seater, Janis Lundman, Adrienne Mitchell, and Michael MacLennan. I’ve let these people and their creations into my life, and if I’m completely honest, into my heart. We’ve only spoken to them briefly,…
Defiance S01E04 – A Well Respected Man
I am loving this show, and I now know why Showcase didn’t send me the entire series in one go… because I would have watched them all in one sitting, and then a couple of days later, done it again and again. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows, I love the…
V: The Original Miniseries – 30 Years And Counting
I’m a little late for this 30th anniversary post I wanted to write to partner with Tim’s piece celebrating the amazing and much-loved Kenneth Johnson series, V – but I figure it’s rather fitting, since I was a little late getting on board back when the miniseries originally aired, too. My father and brother…
Iron Man 3 (2013) – Shane Black
Robert Downey Jr returns to the big screen as Tony Stark, a man haunted and troubled by the events that befell the Avengers… Taking over directing duties from Jon Favreau, Shane Black, who seems to have a fascination for setting movies during the Christmas season (Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) also wrote the script alongside…
