Yup, I went back to Crystal Lake again. But you know what? I enjoyed this one! I got into the camp of it (pun intended) and found lots to laugh at. When this Friday featured a jump from 1:85 to 2:35 aspect ratio, I figured there must be a bump up in the budget. Not…

The Untitled Work of Paul Shepard *UPDATED*
A Canadian comedy gem. I think that is a good way to define The Untitled Work of Paul Shepard. We here at The Mind Reels were lucky enough to attend the premiere last night at the Carlton Cinemas in Toronto, and were duly delighted. The film is a mock-umentary that follows documetarian Paul Shepard (deftly…
Caught In The Net(flix) – Friday The 13th Part 2 (1981)
Alright, I regret going back to Crystal Lake. This evening I settled down to watch Friday The 13th – Part 2. I should have known better. I still don’t understand the cult appeal of this series, course I am only 2 films in. It could conceivably get better, but I’m not sure its going to….
Caught In The Net(flix) – Friday The 13th (1980)

Ringer Marks Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Return To The Small Screen
Let me preface this whole thing with a confession: I was never a fan of Sarah Michelle Gellar. I believe that I used to actually feel that I hated her as a performer, but looking back, that wasn’t really the case. I’d deliberately never watched anything that she was in, is all. It all started…
Not Sidekicks…
Ok Lost Girl. You’ve got me hooked. I’m involved in the story and the characters, I’ll watch you every week. How about something back in return? I love all the characters of the show (even when they seem to be acting like douches… no names Wolfy McWolfson), but now that you’ve established yourself (and we…
Visit Scenic Haven…
Stephen King. Like so many others, his books were a rite of passage in my teen years. I still remember the first one I read… Salem’s Lot (loved the way he interpreted vampires). It was the third longest book I had read at that time (following Lord of the Rings, and Shogun) and I flew through…
