Northern Exposure (1993) – Heal Thyself, and A Cup of Joe

Holling (John Cullum) is cracking wise in Shelly’s (Cynthia Geary) LaMaze class and is getting on everyone’s nerves, including Joel’s (Rob Morrow). And Holling has no explanation for it. Or maybe does. Maybe he’s a remnant of an older age, and isn’t used to discussing female bodily functions, and doesn’t think men should be in…

The Hard Way (1991) – John Badham

Micheal J. Fox has always been one of my favourite actors, I grew up watching him on Family Ties, wanted to be hi in Back to the Future, and followed him to Spin City and beyond, so when his buddy-cop movie was coming out in 1991, you know I was there for it. Fox plays…

  Orphan Black is everywhere – they were picked up for their fourth season this week, issue 3 of the comic book from IDW is on the stands (and it is canon after all), the amazing Funko figures (which I still need to pick up) so I was giddy sitting down to watch what happens this…

Brug’s Army: Mingle For A Mission

$21,000!! That’s how much Amanda Brugel’s Brug’s Army raised for their first ever charity event. The monies will go to the Blooview Children’s Hospital, which is just brilliant. But just as important for the fans who gave their money, they had a wonderful evening chatting and laughing with some of Canada’s best and brightest. Sue,…
