So, Sue and I have finally scored our first interview with a Haven cast member. And as much as I like Emily Rose and Eric Balfour, Lucas is the one I wanted to chat with most. I would love to be able to go drinking with this guy, cause he just comes across as…
Rosemary’s Baby (1968)

Mia Farrow plays Rosemary Woodhouse, who with her husband, tv commercial actor Guy (John Cassavetes) moves into a new place, an old, charming looking apartment building.

Tim’s Top 5 Female Characters
It’s International Women’s Day, and to celebrate I thought I would share my favorite female characters, smart, strong, and independent women! 1) Buffy Summers – She may be the Slayer, but at her heart, Buffy is a woman who does what she does because it’s the right thing to do. She has a number of setbacks in…
Toronto Comic Con 2012
This weekend, Sue and I will be spending some time at the Toronto Comic Con. I’m looking forward to the wandering around and checking out the tables, and displays, not to mention the costumes! So you can probably expect lots of pictures from me and Sue. There’s a number of people showing up for this…
Hour of the Wolf (1968)
I’m not sure where I come down on this film. There were moments that actually made me anxious, though there is nothing graphically disturbing happening. In what was Ingmar Bergman’s only horror film, the wonderful Max Von Sydow takes center stage as an artist plagued by the ghosts and demons of his past, though whether…
Animal Webcams
If you’re like Sue and I, then you tend to be a sucker for watching animals. Our membership for the Toronto Zoo has already paid for itself, and will joyfully be renewed when it comes around. A new show is starting on Discovery on March 18 called Frozen Planet. In connection with it, they’ve put…
The New Class of Police Procedurals
Police procedurals have been around since the birth of television. They drew lines of right and wrong, and went after their crooks with the right and might of the law on their side, always steeping their cases in “Just the facts, ma’am.” In recent years, the police procedural has changed. Sure you still have series…
Sex After Kids – New Teaser
So our good friend Jeremy LaLonde is on his way to making his budget (we’re looking forward to posting those chipmunk costume pictures!). He also found some time to chat with three of his stars (Zoie Palmer, Shannon Beckner, and Amanda Brugel) over the weekends and shoot some new footage. Now to be clear, this…
VIY (1967)
Mother Russia makes an appearance in the 101 Horror Movies with the very enjoyable, and well-crafted film VIY, which is apparently based on a folk legend. With a run time of just over an hour, the story flies by, and it’s incredibly entertaining. Khoma is a brash, irresponsible, a bit of a drunk (which all…
Remembering Ralph McQuarrie
Artist Ralph McQuarrie passed away this weekend. I was raised on his work. Well to clarify, I raised myself on it. I would seek it out. His imagery always fired my imagination, and now he’s gone. His gift to my imagination, however, lives on. I never knew the man, so I can’t speak to that,…
