The announcement of this little flick’s arrival at TIFF this year caused quite a stir amongst many people I know. Even I was curious as to what Whedon would have in store for us with this one, since I knew it was something he’d wanted to do for a long time, and that he’d…

Teen Wolf – One of the Best Shows You’re Not Watching
I remember watching Teen Wolf with Michael J. Fox back in 1985 and I remember totally crushing on the female lead in the film Boof (Susan Ursitti). So when Sue told me that MTV was making a new series based on the same material my immediate reaction with raised eyebrows and cynical expression on my…

This weekend Polaris is underway here in Toronto, and Sue and I were kindly afforded Media Passes for the event. So On Saturday, which Sue sadly had to miss out on, I got to sit down along with Kevin Wang from Box Office Buzz to chat to the lovely, and awesome Miracle Laurie, best…

It’s fun, loud, funny, exciting, and for me, it actively conveyed everything that not only a comic book movie, but a comic…
Cabin In The Woods
Sue and I got to take in a sneak peek of Drew Goddard’s new film Cabin In The Woods last night, with the director in attendance for a post-show Q&A. And the film entertained! It takes the genre we know so well, and gives it a whole new life… The tagline on the poster to…

Ringer Marks Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Return To The Small Screen
Let me preface this whole thing with a confession: I was never a fan of Sarah Michelle Gellar. I believe that I used to actually feel that I hated her as a performer, but looking back, that wasn’t really the case. I’d deliberately never watched anything that she was in, is all. It all started…
