So I’ve tackled one of the first films in my book of 101 Horror Movies You Must See Before You Die. While I wouldn’t describe Freaks as a horror movie in any real sense, they are some unsettling moments. The movie made the circuits as an exploitation film, something to ogle and stare at, like…
101 Horror Movies
One of the things I received this year for Christmas was this little book. And I thought, I would work my way through the titles I haven’t seen, watch them, and perhaps rewatch the ones I have seen, and work my way through the entire book, and blog about them as I went. I’m looking…

Happy Holidays from Tim and Sue
Sue and I just wanted to take this moment, before the holidays ride rough shod all over us, and we’re too stuffed, inebriated, or unable to find access to the internet to wish you and yours the Happiest of Holidays. We’d also like to thank each and everyone of you for your support in our…
What A Good Day!!
We here at the Mind Reels had a pretty good day… We got to see the new official trailer for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, I’ve watched it half a dozen times already… and cannot wait for it! This looks fantastic!! And then, this evening, Sue and I got to interview K.C. Collins, known to Lost Girl…
Trailers for the Holidays.
Movies, Books and tv shows… or toys related to them. If that’s what people get me for Christmas, they tend never to go wrong, and the Industry certainly delivered some fun stuff for me today… Starting with a return to the Shire… I got chills seeing Sir Ian as Gandalf again!! The Hobbit! Of course,…
Lost Girl Fall Finale 2×13 Barometz. Trick. Pressure.
Lost Girl had it’s mid-season finale this Sunday, and what a way to leave us hanging! They’ve ratcheted things up a notch, and there is now a palatable threat hanging over our band of heroes. SPOILERS!!!! I did notice that whether by design or not, the important humans in their lives have been moved out…
Stephen King’s Cell
The Stephen King kick brought on by re-watching Stand By Me and reading 11/22/63 continued as I put paid to another King book. Cell. Cell returns King to spooky ground. Or rather returns me to spooky King ground as it was written before his Kennedy time travel story. The book opens casually but ominously enough,…
Fright Night (Remake & Original)
So this weekend, I finally sat down to watch the remake of Fright Night. I should point out that until Let The Right One In came along, the original Fright Night, from way back in 1985 and the one and only The Lost Boys, from 1987, were my all time favorite vampire movies, but…
Mission: Impossible 4 – Ghost Protocol (The IMAX Experience)
Brad Bird’s first live action film is a success. The Pixar director who was behind The Incredibles, and Ratatouille, and Warner’s The Iron Giant, brought his storytelling and action style to the big screen with the latest in the Mission: Impossible franchise. Tom Cruise returns as IMF agent Ethan Hunt in what may be the…
