Today I was gonna do a nostalgic post about another movie, maybe seeing The Empire Strikes Back or Raiders of The Lost Ark for the first time. Both of them stand out in my memory like lighthouses. But, as I ruminated on Raiders, I realized I didn’t get to see it when it first came…
Degrassi Junior High – Season 1
Ahhh, junior high. I really don’t remember it looking that much fun. Course I was a pretty geeky looking kid trying his best to fit in, while living in a country that was not my own, though I did grow to love it as if it were. Still, the stories and cast of Degrassi Junior…
The Wolf Man (1941)
1941. A long time ago, with the world on the cusp of another global conflict… But meanwhile at Universal Studios… They were busy bringing us the last of the Big Three Monsters to round out their house of horror. Lon Chaney, Jr plays the titular lycanthrope in this imagining of the werewolf legend. Larry…
Is It Sunday Yet? Sherlock S02 E02
This coming Sunday, Sherlock takes on an updated version of The Hounds of The Baskerville! If it’s anything like the episodes that have come before it, then it should prove to be a lot of fun. I can’t get enough of Freeman’s Watson, nor Cumberbatch’s Holmes (I love the expressions on his face in the…
T5 or Tim’s Top Ten Temporal Tales
My thoughts spun off their axis for a while last night, and circled back around to the idea of top ten lists. We tend to love lists for some reason, and as my eyes raked my collection of films, I decided to throw together my list of favorite time travel films, or if not necessarily…
Bachelor Chatter
Well, here we are…a new season is upon us as bachelor Ben Flajnik takes centre stage on his quest to find true love. Last night saw a parade of – let’s say interesting and memorable – women, pass by Ben between the limos (and one horse) and the Bachelor mansion. The field was whittled down…
The Meta World and Works of Castle
Castle, the TV show, is a guilty pleasure. I followed Nathan Fillion from the skies and ‘Verse of Firefly and Serenity to the mean streets of L.A. masquerading as New York in Castle. And Stana Katic, well, who wouldn’t follow her anywhere? Tough, vulnerable, smart, sexy and a cop? I only know one other person like…
M (1931)
Fritz Lang did it again. Of all the films I’ve watched so far, using 101 Horror Movies as my guide, this and Nosferatu are probably my favorites so far. The story is good, and its also very disturbing. Peter Lorre plays Hans Beckert, and he is a child killer, first appearing as a malignant shadow talking…
Sherlock S02 E01 – A Scandal In Belgravia
Oh Sherlock, how I missed you sir. I had no doubt that you would return, but the wait was too long! But know what? Totally worth it. Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss the series creators who brought this updated version of the classic consulting detective and his associate Dr. John Watson into the modern age…
Tim’s Tops of 2011
I’m gonna take a page from my creative partner, Sue, and give a run down of my favorite films of the year; though it appears that we do have a lot of the same films on our list. 1) The Muppets – This movie is sheer joy, and by far the best time at the…
