Welcome back! Sue and I decided to take a week off of podcasting this week, because, honestly, there wasn’t a lot to talk about, we figured you’d already seen our Muppets review, and if we talked about it we’d end up unintentionally spoiling moments of the film, that are best left unspoilt. And for those…
The Muppets – Review
First and foremost, I’m a movie snob. I have people who can testify to this under oath. I can tell stories about someone very dear to me who wouldn’t tell me some of the films they had watched because they thought I would judge them harshly for it. I’m a snob, I’m opinionated, and I…
Guardian Cats & The Lost Books of Alexandria Author Interview
Adopt An Indie month continues, and I had the opportunity to submit some questions to the author of the book I adopted, The Guardian Cats & The Lost Books of Alexandria. The author Rahma Krambo was kind enough to take the time to answer them, have a look… The Mind Reels: What brought you to…

Pixar’s Brave
Pixar doesn’t need me to defend them from the trolls and bullies of cyberspace, I’ll let their work speak for itself, and it is a very impressive body of work, only two real missteps in twelve films (I was willing to forgive the original Cars, which was fun, and gorgeous to look at, but Cars…
Adopt An Indie Book Review – Guardian Cats & The Lost Books of Alexandria
November is Adopt An Indie month! An event created by Donna Brown to highlight independent authors who self-publish their works. A great idea, that seems to have taken right off, so much so that there may very well be a second one coming in February. I browsed through the hundred plus authors and their submitted…
The Hunger Games Trailer
Is it March yet? In the words of Sue Maynard, the site’s co-creator and fellow writer, “I haven’t been this excited about a movie, or book series in a very long time.” And you know what? I agree with her. Yes, there are films I’m looking forward to, The Muppets on the 23rd, Brad Bird’s live…
What Did I Watch This Week? Vol.2
So that’s another week down, and boy does one’s week fill up fast. Last week, I had time for all kinds of things to watch, not so much this time around. I guess that’s what happens when life happens. Still I did make time to watch a few films, and a little bit more telly…

The Immortals… isn’t.
One of the kindest things I can say about The Immortals is that I didn’t hate it. I went into the the theater with zero expectations, and in fact had discussed with fellow blogger Ryan McNeil from http://www.thematinee.ca/ how we both expected to hate it. Not that either of us went in with an intent…
