The Mind Reels Tackle the Canadian Screen Awards 2014
Sue and I were elated to be able to take part in the Canadian Screen Awards festivities this week, including two galas and the broadcast event this past Sunday night at the Sony Centre. We wanted to tweet and post all night, and even had a plan to do all kinds of #legoselfies, but…
Murdoch Mysteries S07E10 – Murdoch In Ragtime
After it’s mid-winter break, Murdoch Mysteries returned this week with a script by Carol Hay, and direction by Harvey Crossland.

There have long been rumors of monsters inhabiting not only Canadian lakes, but lakes around the world, the most famous…
