This week Aaron Sorkin’s brilliant drama takes us to the evening of May 1, 2011. Will (Jeff Daniels) is hosting a party at his apartment (something he’s not completely comfortable doing, and tells people that he won’t feel bad if people leave early) and even plays guitar and sings with Jim (John Gallagher Jr) Charlie…
Continuum S01 E10 – End Times
Somehow we’ve come to the end of the first season of Showcase’s enjoyable sci-fi series Continuum, and it ends explosively! It also ties up a number of story threads for the season while setting up ideas for season 2. We see things happening in our 2077 opener, that tie directly back to the first…
Friday The 13th (1980) – Revisited
I’m revisiting this one, though I wrote a post about it some time ago. Apprently it made the list of 101 Horror Movies, so I thought I would reexamine it in the context of all that had gone before it. Much like Halloween before it, it full on embraces the stalker/slasher films that permeated the…
Aelita (1924)
So Mother Russia, what do you have in store for me with this offering from 1924 as presented in 101 Sci-Fi Movies… There’s love, murder, jealousy, conspiracy, inter-planetary travel, the red-tape of bureaucracy, revolution and socialist propaganda. Sadly, I just made the film sound more exciting than I actually found it. The story follows Los…
Victor Webster
This week Sue and I were lucky enough to have a quick phone chat with Continuum star Victor Webster, who plays cop Carlos Fonnegra to Rachel Nichols’ Kiera Cameron. We have a brief talk about his fave films, his other work, including appearances on Sex & The City and Charmed, working with some of Tim’s biggest crushes, and…
Le Voyage Dans La Lune (1902)
That special certain someone who picked me up the 101 Horror Movies to See Before You Die has done it again. This time she gave me 101 Sci-Fi movies to see before you die. Now, while I haven’t finished the horror movies yet, I thought it would be fun to mix it up a bit,…
Jesse Stone: No Remorse (2010)
It’s time to head back to Paradise Massachusetts (read as Nova Scotia) again. Picking up shortly after the last film ended, Robert B Parker’s creation Jesse Stone (Tom Selleck) is still on the outs with the town council, and suspended from his position as Chief. In fact, the force is down to two members for…
The Newsroom S01 E06 – Bullies
This week, Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) and company face the very real threat of a death threat against Will’s life on Aaron Sorkin’s brilliant drama The Newsroom. This week’s episode takes place in a 48-hour period from April 11 to the 12 of 2011. After reading some of their website’s comments online, Will is infuriated,…
Continuum S01 E09 – Family Time
This week the story hits home for young Alec (Eric Knudsen) as a hostage situation erupts on his farm with his family, Kiera (Rachel Nichols) and Carlos (Victor Webster) smack dab in the middle of it. And before I go any further, let me just get this out of the way… Kiera looks so hot…
Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
Hailed as the film banned in the most countries, Cannibal Holocaust is not for the meek. It usually takes a lot to offend or bother me, and this one did. So be warned, if you decide to settle in for this one – you shouldn’t watch this during dinner, and it’s very visual in it’s…
