Guillermo del Toro’s other vampire movie is the next title I came across in DK Canada’s Monsters in the Movies book. A stronger entry than the first film, del Toro proves he can handle action beats with ease, and can work within the confines of a franchise. Wesley Snipes returns as Marvel’s day walking vampire…

Da Vinci’s Demons: Season 3
Releasing from Anchor Bay today is the final season of David S. Goyer’s series that follows the times and trials of a young Leonardo Da Vinci. The ten episodes, spanning three discs, bring the series to a satisfying conclusion, though I will be sad to see Tom Riley leave the series behind, I quite…

Da Vinci’s Demons Season 1 – Blu-Ray
Anchor Bay Canada was kind enough to send me a copy of the first season of Da Vinci’s Demons, which was released on September 3. I was a little behind, even with our peripheral coverage of TIFF. But no sooner did I start this series when I was completely hooked. From David S. Goyer,…
Man of Steel (2013) – Zack Snyder
A disappointing mess. That’s what Warner, DC Comics, Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder have served up. I love the character of Superman!
