So Dario Argento finds his way onto the 101 Horror Movies list again with what is called his masterpiece, Suspiria. The story is fairly simple and the murders are just as bloody as they were in Profondo Rosso. A young American, Suzy Bannion (Jessica Harper) arrives at the Freiburg academy, which specializes in dance. However…
Worldwide Short Film Festival 2012
Sue and I have lots on the go next week, and one of the things we are looking forward to is the 2012 Worldwide Short Film Festival here in Toronto. Running from June 5th to June 10th, there are a number of films and venues we are both hoping to see and post about. There’s Laughter Without…
Carrie (1976)
Brian DePalma’s classic from 1976 finds its way onto the 101 Horror Movies and I was more than happy to revisit it. I watched it a long time ago when I was a teenager going through my Stephen King phase, which every teen seems to go through (Salem’s Lot is still my favorite King book)….
Prometheus – The Embargo
Here we are, just over a week away from the Canadian release date for Ridley Scott’s return to science fiction – Promethues. To say I’m excited is a understatment. I am very eagerly awaiting the arrival of next Friday night, amidst all the other things both Sue and I have on the go, interviews, covering…
The Omen (1976)
Another classic film brought to me by the 101 Horror Movies book. Once again, we are referring to the original of course, not the remake from 2006. All I can remember about that one is that it had Liev Schreiber, and I remembered I didn’t care for it. The original however, still gets the job…
Sue’s Series Squawk – Once Upon A Time (Season One)
What a wonderfully delightful surprise THIS charming series ended up being! In my mind, I’d signed up for it and Grimm as soon as I heard about them, but I was vaguely certain that I would prefer Grimm’s darkness to OUAT’s charm in the end. How wrong I was! I think I was in…
Jaws (1975)
I love this movie so much, thank you for making it Mr. Spielberg! The music, the dialogue, the moments, the sheer fun! But if you’ve been to the blog before, you know that, it’s my all time favorite movie, and the first one I ever saw. So obviously when it came along on the list…
Game of Thrones S02 E09 – Blackwater
From the moment I reached this point in Clash of Kings, I have been waiting to see the adaptation of it in the television series on HBO’s Game of Thrones. I was further delighted to see that George R.R. Martin, the author of the series, the man who can kill your favorite characters indiscriminately, wrote…
The Killing – Day 23 – 72 Hours
Wow. This episode, I was literally sitting on the edge of my seat for parts of it, and by the time the familiar tension-building, end-coming theme music came on, I was cursing how very wired and awake I was! So great! Some spoilers below, so don’t read if you haven’t seen it yet and…
Profondo Rosso (1975)
Translated as Deep Red, Profondo Rosso sees famed Italian director Dario Argento join the list of required viewing for the 101 Horror Movies. Before getting into the film itself, let me just say, I loved the score by Giorgio Gaslini and the group Goblin. It’s been a long time since I watched an Argento movie,…
