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…
A Chinese Ghost Story (1987)
I do like when the 101 Horror Movies list brings me a film that I had never heard of before, and this time around, they definitely did. From Hong Kong comes A Chinese Ghost Story, a film that jumps from horror to comedy to martial arts to romance, bundled all up into one slick little…
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…
Meanwhile in the Smithee.TV Studios…
Hey Folks! To share in some of the excitment of everything that is going on with Sue and I right now, and the fact that it’s the 1 year anniversary of The Mind Reels today… We thought we’d share some pics from our episode shoots in the Smithee.TV studios, watch for our faces on the…
Happy 1st Birthday for The Mind Reels!
When I was younger, physically and chronologically, not mentally, I often thought about talking and working with people in the entertainment industry. I also thought about being a starship captain like James T. Kirk or walking with dinosaurs, but hey, one dream at a time. Growing up, I was not necessarily an outsider, but I…
V/H/S (2012)
I finally got around to seeing V/H/S – I knew I wouldn’t get through it in the theater, for the Toronto After Dark Summer Screenings. I don’t deal so well with shakey cam on the big screen. And now, having seen it, I’m also glad I didn’t stay for it, I would’ve walked out of…
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…
Gojira (1954)
Pop culture, and the films that followed in the series have been less than kind to Gojira (or Godzilla as he is known to most North American audiences), so I was glad to actuually settle in and watch this film when it showed up on my 101 Sci-Fi Movies list. It’s played straight, and coming…
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)
We’re well into the 1980s with the 101 Horror Movies list, and Michael Rooker takes center stage as a psychopathic killer named Henry, based on murderer Henry Lucas Lee. I found this one fairly easy to get through in all honesty, I find the human monsters in horror movies somewhat easier to deal with than…
Once Upon A Time – Season 2 – Episode 1 – Broken
My excitement level for the return of OUAT has been pretty extreme as of late, and I geared up even more for the season 2 premiere last night by watching the hour-long recap episode that aired right before it, as well! Two hours’ worth of magic, mystery and mayhem – could a Sunday night…
