Welcome back Pixar! I’ve made it known that I’m not the biggest fan of Cars 2, Pixar’s effort from last year. But over the years they have generated such good will on my part that they always get me to come back for more – I have seen every single Pixar film in the theaters,…
The Killing – Day 26 – What I Know
First of all, I am sorry this has taken so long to write. This past week has been ridiculous with work and, to be honest, I was such an emotional mess after the finale that even now I am having trouble expressing how much I loved it, the whole series, and everyone who had…
Tanis Rideout & Simon Racioppa
Earlier this week, I got to go out and support my sister with the release of her first novel, called Above All Things, you can find it in book stores, and on Amazon even now! Have a look. Or you can check out her site here. Joining in on the conversation with us this…
Jesse Stone: Night Passage (2006)
“I’m the police chief, I know everything.” After discovering the character of Jesse Stone in Stone Cold, portrayed in this series of films by the always awesome Tom Selleck, I knew I would be back for more. So I settled in for the second installment of these TV movies, Night Passage. This film is a prequel…
Monsters University – Teaser Trailer
Yes, I am very excited for Pixar’s Brave, I’m hoping my favorite studio pulls another winner out of their hat, and I can push Cars 2 out of my most recent Pixar memories (sorry folks, not your best work). And although I have no doubt I will love it – we finally get a full-on…
The Hills Have Eyes (1977)
Wes Craven returns to the 101 Horror Movies list with his 1977 classic, The Hills Have Eyes. The film originally received an X-rating, but Craven made a couple of additional cuts to make it a hard R. There was a remake not so long ago, and for the most part, I remember it being fairly…
Above All Things – Book Launch
It has been a long week already, and as I write this it’s only Tuesday. But mark the date, June 19th, because on this date my sister, Tanis Rideout had the official launch of her book Above All Things. Released through McClelland books here in Canada (check your local Amazon or book store) it looks…
Krull (1983)
Apparently I was a goofy kid when I was younger, because this movie does not stand up well to the test of the time. It was one of those ones that I had the Scholastic novel for (by Alan Dean Foster) as well as the big super-size Marvel comic. And I thought the glaive was…
John Carter (2012)
I’m well aware that I am late to the party on this title, but I really wanted to put some distance between myself and all the reviews that came out upon it’s release. I have the Barsoom novels, penned by Edgar Rice Burroughs (Carter first appeared on the scene in 1912!) and enjoyed them. I…
Continuum S01 E04 – Matter of Time
This week’s Continuum has the ‘A’ Story falling solidly into the term – ‘police procedural’ although Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols), still using her cover as working for Section 6, uses some of her tech, specifically her heads up display ocular implant. We start in pre-2077, as Sam is still a baby, and Greg (John Reardon)…
