Night Film (2013) – Marisha Pessl
This week’s book shelf brought me a book that was dark, troubling, steeped in film, murder, the occult, interactive elements, and evil. I loved it! It came to me via my sister at Christmas, and reading the inside of the jacket, I was duly interested. Who doesn’t like a good mystery, especially when it’s…
Helix S01E01 – Pilot
From Executive Producer Ron Moore, who oversaw the re-imaginging of the highly succesful Battlestar Galactica series, as well as creative forces involved with The X-Files and Lost, Helix, from its beginning has promised to be fun, smart and downright scary. Tonight at 10pm on Showcase, you can find out if it lives up to its pedigree….
Toronto After Dark 2013: Odd Thomas – Stephen Sommers
Before I get into last night’s early feature at Toronto After Dark, I want to say a quick blurb about the short film that screened before it. Every year, a Canadian short will screen before each feature film of the festival, and last night’s film was paired with a wicked little short by Adam…
Murdoch Mysteries S07E01 – Murdoch Ahoy
The CBC is proud to see the return of celebrated Canadian detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) in the season 7 opener this evening. In typical Murdoch style we see a wonderful blending of elements forming a highly enjoyable season opener, as Murdoch, Brackenreid (Thomas Craig), and Dr. Julia Ogden (Helene Joy) board the S.S….
Ringu (1998) – Hideo Nakata
The late 90s saw a huge inflow of Japanese horror into the North American market, spreading and replicating itself, much like the curse in this wicked and delightful ghost story. Remade, successfully, three years later as The Ring with Naomi Watts and directed by Gore Verbinski, the original film was one of the first Japanese…
Haven: Season 3, Episode 1 – 301
Well, if the Season 2 finale ended with a bang, then the Season 3 premiere can be said to have blown things wide open! This episode was an incredible rush from start to finish, and if the rest of the season is at all like its opener, then we are in for a dark…
Stone Cold (2005)
For those who know me, they know that Tom Selleck is probably one of my favorite actors. Thomas Sullivan, my new stalwart companion, is named for one of my favorite Selleck characters, Thomas Sullivan Magnum. So for all of that, why did it take me so long to watch this film? That I can’t tell…
Saving Hope
I just watched this week’s episode of the new medical drama with a supernatural twist, Saving Hope, last night, and I’m feeling the need to say just how much I am enjoying this show so far! We’ve only just had 2 episodes to savour, but I find that I am already emotionally invested in…
The Killing – Day 18 – Ghosts Of The Past
Gah! This show! It just keeps getting better and better every week! I’m finding that there is so much going on now – with everyone – that it’s really no longer about who killed Rosie Larsen anymore. Yes, I want to find out, and my brain is still spinning on all the new information…
