Let me start off by saying – I loved this episode! It quickly became a smoldering return of just about everyone we encountered in season one – the first two weeks of the investigation. And those still smoking ashes – now with a few new coals thrown in – feel like they are bringing the…
Wizard World Comic Con Toronto
It was a pretty sweet weekend for Sue, and I. We had our first fan table at the Wizard World Comic Con here in T.O, and we had so much fun with it. Our mornings started with a quick chat and beverage with our fellow con -goers and exhibitors. That is an awesome and eclectic…
The Last Starfighter
“Greetings, Starfighter. You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Xur and the Ko-dan Armada.” Those words make me smile, and give me excited chills at the same time. Now, for Sue and I, it’s taken on a whole new level of awesome. Believe me, this film was already at…
The Moment
My friend from The Matinee, Ryan McNeil and I, were talking today about films that impacted us, made us realize there was more to them than we’d realized. He was talking about The Moment. It happens to every cinephile. There’s a moment when you realize that there’s more to movies than what s up there…
What Are You Doing This Weekend?
What are you up to this weekend? Sue and I will be manning our table at the Wizard World Comic Con here in Toronto this weekend!! If you’re there swing by the table and say hi! Sue and I would love to meet you. We’re planning to say hi to a couple of the folks…
Snow Is Not So Cool.
Snake Plissken could kick Snow’s ass, and sure as hell look cooler doing it. Lockout is a wannabe, there are hints of cool and bad-assery, but it just comes across as too smug in it’s perceived hipness. Now, there were a couple things right at the beginning that I really liked, including the opening interrogation…
Call Me Snake…
I’m off to a sneak preview of the new sci-fi actioner Lockout this evening. When I first saw the trailer, the only thing I could think was that it looked like a John Carpenter/Kurt Russell film without either of them (though some of the dialogue looks even cheesier) and more importantly, it looked like a…
The Killing – Some Quick Thoughts on Rosie’s Backpack
Okay, so season two opened with a 2-hour episode to get us all caught back up in the web of mystery surrounding the killing of Rosie Larsen. In one very creepy moment, Stan Larsen and his sons literally stumble across a pink backpack covered in blood, with the initials RL bedazzled on the front. …
Game of Thrones S02E02 – The Night Lands
The Song of Fire & Ice continued this week, with the incomparable fantasy series Game of Thrones. And you know you’re addicted, and a geek, when you notice and pick out new locations that you’ve read about and imagined appear in what may well be my favorite opening credits for a television series ever. This…
The Killing: Day 16 – Numb
You know, I have really missed this show. As each new episode unfurls before me, I am vaguely aware of how truly caught up I am in each character’s life. My mind is constantly spinning, trying to recognize new clues as they appear, and amend my theories as I go. mostly, though, I am…
