Continuing my recommendations from the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book for my screening of Snow White, I happily dove into this canine tale, which, much like the other recommendations so far, I hadn’t seen in years. Set in London, with a fantastic score by George Bruns, and based on the book…

Bitten Season 2
Get ready to howl wolfpack! Bitten returns to Space tonight with all new episodes as season 2, based on Kelley Armstrong’s bestselling novels, gets underway. And this show, has not been resting on its haunches. The season wastes no time, delving into lycanthrope politics, sexiness and Elena’s (Laura Vandervoort) vengeance. Right from the off,…
Fatal Attraction (1987) – Adrian Lyne
The final film in the recommendations from my screening of Les Enfants du Paradis for the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book, is this dramatic thriller from the late 80s, that saw Michael Douglas mucking up his marriage to Anne Archer, and Glenn Close boiling a pet bunny. Douglas plays Dan Gallagher,…
Delivery: The Beast Within (2013) – Brian Netto

Rachel (Laurel Vail) and Kyle (Danny Barclay) after years of trying, are finally expecting. And they’re also the subject of a new reality show…
Jamon, Jamon (1992) – Bigas Luna

Legs of ham, underwear models and naked bullfighting all play a part in this enjoyable and erotic film…
Children of Men (2006) – Alfonso Cuaron
The 101 Sci-Fi Movies list comes to an end with Children of Men, and I honestly couldn’t think of a better film to end it on. Director Alfonso Cuaron brings an adaptation of P.D. James novel to life in a vivid way, combining all that is the best of humanity, our callousness, our greed,…
Bomb Girls S02E01 – The Quickening
Bomb Girls is back, and seeing it after having spent time on the set just makes me smile all the more, and despite the fact that I know that they were sets, the series somehow seems increasingly real to me now, perhaps because I have walked through those places we see in this episode….
Continuum S01 E05 – A Test of Time
This week, series creator Simon Barry, and writer Jeff King bring us my favorite episode of Continuum so far, by introducing a lot of things to think about in terms of timelines in paradoxes. Because this week, Kagame (Tony Amendola) and Liber8 spring into full Terminator-mode, going after CPS Protector Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols) through…
