12 is my lucky number, so I figured that would be the number of films I pick for my favorites of 2012, it kind of works, because then that would be one each month, though, for anyone who reads my blog, you’re well aware that I’ve seen a lot more than 12 movies this year!…

What Firefly Means To Me (or Why I’ll Always Be A Browncoat)
I came to the ‘Verse pretty late in the game. I’d never been a fan of Buffy or Angel (I remember refusing to watch the former because it wasn’t Kristy Swanson in the title role), so I wasn’t an automatic viewer of anything Joss Whedon did just because it was Joss Whedon. I was…
The Last Will & Testament of Rosalind Leigh (2012)
Back in August, Sue and I stumbled across a booth at Fan Expo that was made to look like a corner of an eclectic, yet strangely lovely room. But looking at it you just know that there’s something off about it. There’s a large statue of an angel in the middle of the room, bracketed…
Natasha Eloi Part 3
Welcome to the 3rd and final part of our chat with Natasha Eloi! We had such a good time with Natasha, and we can’t wait to have her come and visit us in the studio, and perhaps bring some of her cool collectables and toys! In this final installment we chat about our favorite…
Happy 1st Birthday for The Mind Reels!
When I was younger, physically and chronologically, not mentally, I often thought about talking and working with people in the entertainment industry. I also thought about being a starship captain like James T. Kirk or walking with dinosaurs, but hey, one dream at a time. Growing up, I was not necessarily an outsider, but I…
Fan Expo Edition!
So Fan Expo is over for another year, sigh. Oh well. Sue and I had a great time, and had some wonderful chats, and there are chats we missed out on that we’re still trying to run down, as well as more still to come, but this week, we have an amalgam of interviews…
Fan Expo – Media Professionalism & Ethics
I am not a professional journalist. I openly admit that, though I’m sure my writing gives me away from time to time. I will admit first and foremost, I’m a fan. That’s why Sue and I started this site. We were fans that felt that a lot of the things we loved weren’t getting the…
Fan Expo Day 4
Somehow, Day 4 of Fan Expo has come and gone – and it’s all over for another year. Wow. It’s been an amazing weekend, and each day just seemed to hold the bar or raise it in terms of awesomeness. This morning should have been a sign! Sue and I checked in at the Media…
Fan Expo Day 3
Saturdays can be tough at Fan Expo if you aren’t ready and prepared. Sue and I find that the real key to Saturdays is try to stay out of everyone’s way – stay off the floor as much as you can and enjoy the Q&As and photo ops. Pick one thing you need and want to…
Fan Expo Day 2
Sue and I checked in bright and early at the Media Desk for Day 2 of Fan Expo 2012. After such an awesome start yesterday we couldn’t wait to see where this day took us… First off, we decided to prowl the floor, and take in the incredible deigns, sets, sketches and armatures of Disney’s Frankenweenie exhibit….
