Fairy Tale, Stephen King’s latest, available now from Simon & Schuster Canada feels unique in his bibliography. It takes the concept of those long beloved tales of Grimm and Andersen and gives them his unique twist. At its heart, the book seems to be an amalgam of things King loves. It is a story of…

The Company of Wolves (1984) – Neil Jordan
The next werewolf film to be featured in DK Canada’s highly enjoyable Monsters in the Movies is this Neil Jordan film from the 80s. I remember seeing the VHS case for it when I was beginning my movie education as a young teen. I didn’t recognize any of the names, and the VHS cover had…
What Sue’s Watching – Playing PVR Catch-Up
Okay! I spent two full days trying to watch all the programs I’d accumulated on my PVR over the last bit, and almost got all caught up! I’ve picked up some new shows since last I wrote, and have been behind a lot lately as I don’t have much time to watch anything until…
What Sue Is Watching
Since I have fallen so far behind on my PVR-watching, I’ve decided to just write about the shows I’ve been most enjoying the past few weeks, even though I may still have catching-up to do on a few of them. Sometimes there’s just a lot of good stuff on, and not enough time to write…

Sue’s Series Squawk – Grimm (Season 1)
I’ve decided that – since I can’t possibly write everything I want to about every TV series that I want to – I will try to at least talk about each one randomly throughout their seasons. Or, in many cases for now, over their summer hiatuses. Haiti? Hait-eye? Summer breaks. This little post is…
What’s in a Fairytale: An Introduction to TV’s Grimm and Once Upon A Time
In the spate of new shows that began this fall, two in particular caught my eye, simply because they both seemed to revolve around the world of fairytales. Having just written my very first of the genre, I was mildly interested to see what sort of new things would be brought to the old standbys…
