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!…

The First Rule of Flying…
“Here’s how it is: The Earth got used up, so we moved out and terraformed a whole new galaxy of Earths, some rich and flush with the new technologies, some not so much. The Central Planets, them was formed the Alliance, waged war to bring everyone under their rule; a few idiots tried to fight…
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…
Can’t Stop The Serenity 2013 Logo Art Contest – Please vote!!!
I’ve been meaning to write a big post about what Firefly/Serenity means to me, but it’s going to take more time than I have right now, and I want to do it right. So this is not that post! What it is, however, is a brief look into my first attempts at logo creation…
TIFF 2012: Much Ado About Nothing – Joss Whedon
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…
Miracle Laurie
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…
Polaris 26 – July 6-8, 2012
Great news!!! The Mind Reels has been granted media accreditation for Polaris 26! Polaris is Canada’s longest running media fan-run event, and is one that we have both partaken in almost regularly over the past several years. Polaris has changed a lot in recent years, as well – it’s seen changes in everything from its…
Z*CON – The Movie!!!
Z*Con is a new indie film being produced by the same shiny folk who brought us the Big Damn Fan Film Browncoats: Redemption. Based on the ‘Verse created by Joss Whedon in the (wrongly) cancelled Firefly series, and its follow-up film, Serenity, Redemption introduced us to a new crew with new problems faced in the months…
The Avengers
There’s not much I can say for The Avengers that hasn’t already been said over the weekend. For me it has already entered the pantheon of greatest comic book movies of all time. It’s fun, loud, funny, exciting, and for me, it actively conveyed everything that not only a comic book movie, but a comic…
