For those who know me, they know that Tom Selleck is probably one of my favorite actors. Thomas Sullivan, my new stalwart companion, is named for one of my favorite Selleck characters, Thomas Sullivan Magnum. So for all of that, why did it take me so long to watch this film? That I can’t tell…
Eraserhead (1977)
After a quick break, we’re back into the 101 Horror Movies, and today, I’m revisiting David Lynch’s first film… Eraserhead (which was shot over 5 years!!) I’ve seen this film 4 or 5 times now, and like everyone else, I couldn’t tell you what to make of it. It’s surrealist, and I think everyone…

Great news!!! The Mind Reels has been granted media accreditation for Polaris 26! Polaris is Canada’s longest running media fan-run event, and is one that we have both partaken in almost regularly over the past several years.

Saving Hope
I just watched this week’s episode of the new medical drama with a supernatural twist, Saving Hope, last night, and I’m feeling the need to say just how much I am enjoying this show so far! We’ve only just had 2 episodes to savour, but I find that I am already emotionally invested in…
NFCC – Batmobile & Tim and April
Last weekend Sue and I got to go to Niagara Falls to cover the wonderful Comic Con that was put on there. We had a great time, and if you haven’t seen all the pics, take a look at our Facebook page, or check out our Comic Con post from earlier in the week….
The Black Hole (1979)
I remember having the V.I.N.C.E.N.T. and Maximilian pencil holders when I was a kid, as well as some of the action figures, the soundtrack album, as well as the storybook album, the comics and finally I had a giant puzzle from the CNE one year. And I remember watching this film in the theater, Perkins’…
IDW Star Trek (Ongoing) – Issue 1 & 2 – Where No Man Has Gone Before
I dabble in comics occasionally, Superman, Batman, Justice League, Buffy, Iron Man. For the longest time, I had fallen out of them, but am slowly finding my way back in. So it’s no surprise that my love of Trek, turned me to the new ongoing series. IDW took a chance when they launched their new ongoing…
The Killing – Final Theories On Rosie’s Killer
Alright, I’ve been going through theories like a madwoman pretty much since episode one, back when I went with the old X-Files mainstay – TRUST NO ONE. That mantra could actually be applied in this case, as well. While not everyone is involved in Rosie Larsen’s murder, I’m pretty sure everyone has some dirty…
Planet of the Vampires (1965)
14 years before the Nostromo took flight to terror in Alien in 1979, the Argos and it’s sister ship the Galliot were heading to a mysterious planet they call Aura, investigating a signal that has been transmitting for two years (I don’t know if that means they have FTL travel but I guess for…
Z*CON – The Movie!!!
Z*Con is a new indie film being produced by the same shiny folk who brought us the Big Damn Fan Film Browncoats: Redemption. Based on the ‘Verse created by Joss Whedon in the (wrongly) cancelled Firefly series, and its follow-up film, Serenity, Redemption introduced us to a new crew with new problems faced in the months…
