With a name like Detective Dee and The Mystery of The Phantom Flame, you just knew I’d get around to watching this… It sounds like pure pulp and a lot of fun. Which is pretty much exactly what it was. Directed by Hark Tsui, the film is set in 690 B.C.E. Andy Lau, plays the…
Continuum S01 E03 – Wasting Time
We join Kiera in 2077 in this week’s opener, as she is kitted out in full assault gear to chase down an ex-soldier who has become a Liber8 revolutionary. Finding their target behind a holographic wall, they capture Sonya (Lexa Doig), code-named The Queen of Hearts. This transitions us back to 2012 where Kiera Cameron…
The Killing – Day 25 – Donnie or Marie
This show is KILLING me!!! So so good – every episode has been amazing, and there was so much going on this week that I had a hard time falling asleep after! Let’s just jump right in, shall we? The key card Linden found on the 10th floor belongs to someone in Richmond’s camp. …
Niagara Falls Comic Con!!
Yesterday was a brilliant day! (Even getting up at 4am to get it underway.) Sue and I headed to Niagara Falls for their comic con in their brand new Scotiabank Convention Center. Chris Dabrowski Co-Owner of the show, who handles the celebrity bookings, as well as the PR & Marketing for the event kindly set us up with…
Prometheus (2012) – Some Thoughts and Questions…
Prometheus is a film with some big ideas. This is a film I’ve been looking forward to since I learned Sir Ridley was returning to the universe that he helped create and establish. Is Prometheus a perfect movie? Far from, many of the secondary characters and even some of the leads are interchangeable. But it’s…
Niagara Falls Comic Con
Sue and I are on our way to the Niagara Falls Comic Con this morning. We both stayed up way too late last night to see Prometheus (more on that soon), and had to rouse ourselves at 4 in the morning. Did you know it’s still dark then? We met up at the local bus…
WSFF – Celebrity Shorts
Last night was a treat for both Sue and I at the Worldwide Short Film Festival featured was a program called Celebrity Shorts and every one of them was a delight. We started with a heart-warming and joyous tail featuring Dame Judi Dench, and a cameo by Tom Hiddleston in a short from the United…
Killer Elite (2011)
This is a good movie, but by no means a great movie. Adversely none of the characters in the film are good at all, barring of course Yvonne Strahovski, who plays the innocent love interest for Jason Statham’s character Danny. The film is based, loosely, on the non-fiction The Feather Men by Ranulph Fiennes, which…
WSFF – Creative Control
Last night’s screening of a series of shorts called Creative Control was a much quieter affair than the opening gala, but brought us 7 more short films that entertained, made you think, and gave you pause as you wondered about the concepts of life, love, loss, and death. Heady stuff right? The first film up…
Black Hawk Down (2001)
So as Prometheus draws one day closer, I wanted to watch another of my Ridley Scott faves – so I settled in for Black Hawk Down. This movie is fantastic! But I only own it on DVD, as I refuse to upgrade my copy to blu-ray until Sony releases the deluxe edition as opposed to…
