The Bermuda International Film Festival kicks off this evening with the powerful film, Ginger & Rosa, which Sue got to take a look at during the Toronto International Film Festival. I’m very excited to be able to cover this festival, and am looking forward to stepping inside the Liberty Theater. I haven’t been in there…

Bermuda and Back Again: A Happy Hobbit’s Return Home and a Film Festival Part 1
It’s been a long time since I’ve had the time or the luxury to travel, but when the Bermuda Film Festival was announced this year, I knew I had found the perfect reason to don my fedora, fill a kit bag and hop a jet plane. Being an air force brat, I’ve had the luxury…
Got It, Need It, Got It…
I can remember the waxy feel of the paper as you opened up a fresh package of trading cards, and shoved the cardboard-like stick of gum in your mouth, it would be good for a couple of chews and then it would just lose all taste and just take up space, but I still love that smell….
Happy Birthday Doctor!

Star Trek: The Next Generation S1 – Blu-Ray
One word and one word only to describe the blu-ray release of Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1… Wow. I’ve been with Next Gen since the beginning, I was a huge Trek fan before it, and I was clamoring for more and more and more. I ate up every little bit of the new…
The Last Starfighter
“Greetings, Starfighter. You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Xur and the Ko-dan Armada.” Those words make me smile, and give me excited chills at the same time. Now, for Sue and I, it’s taken on a whole new level of awesome. Believe me, this film was already at…
