I don’t think I’d even seen the original Terminator film when I headed to the theatre with a group of friends to see the sequel. I knew the basic plot, but otherwise settled in rather blind for this one the first time. The movie picks up years after the first one ended, with Sarah…

Trailer Tracks: Nightmare On Elm Street – Wes Craven
As a teenager, my brother, our friend and I, suddenly got into horror movies, and we began renting them on VHS and watching them together pretty much every week. Some were gross, many were cheesy, several were scary as hell, and all of them were good fun. While it was the 3rd film in…
Trailer Tracks: Teen Wolf – Rod Daniel
While Tim is away, Sue will play! I thought I’d start out my trailer tracks with a throw way, way back to a film that’s as good cheesy fun today as it was when it came out, Teen Wolf. One of several Michael J Fox vehicles to hit our screens throughout the mid-80’s, this one…
The Rockford Files (1974) – The Kirkoff Case & The Dark and Bloody Ground
In this installment of Bellisario & Cannell we talk about the first two episodes of Season 1 of James Garner’s The Rockford Files. First off we have The Kirkoff Case, penned by series creators Cannell and Roy Huggins which aired September 13, 1974 and features James Woods. The answering machine gag this week is…
The Hypnotist (2009) – Lars Kepler
It’s been a while since I talked about something I’ve read, and i really want to start making that a regular habit, no matter what I read, and I read a lot! This novel, The Hypnotist, did something a book hasn’t done for me in a long time, filled me with dread and I…
Bomb Girls – The Final Episode…
I’ve written about Bomb Girls since it started. Sue and I have interviewed Meg Tilly, Jodi Balfour, Charlotte Hegele, Ali Liebert, Michael Seater, Janis Lundman, Adrienne Mitchell, and Michael MacLennan. I’ve let these people and their creations into my life, and if I’m completely honest, into my heart. We’ve only spoken to them briefly,…
Warm Bodies – Jonathan Levine
This movie didn’t really catch my eye until my friend started talking about how much she was looking forward to seeing it. I found myself kind of intrigued by the storyline she described, and then once I really watched the trailer, I knew I was in. Counting down silently in my head to the…
Toronto After Dark Film Festival 2012 – Sue’s Must-See List!!!
Well folks, as the kids say these days, shit just got real! The Toronto After Dark Film Festival has VERY GENEROUSLY offered the Mind Reels passes to cover the fest this year, and we could not be more thrilled! Adam Lopez (TAF’s hard-working, fearless leader – and hopefully future Mind Reels guest) has put together…
Sue’s Flick Picks For TIFF 2012
This time of year is my favourite. In some ways, I think it always has been. I was usually eager to get back to school as a kid – partly for the Back To School shopping, and partly just so I could see my friends again. As an adult, it’s still my birthday, and…
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…
