Orphan Black continues to wow, as episode 3 roared across screens last night on Space. The series continues to be filled with amazing character beats, that continue to layer them, expand them, and plunge them into new directions.

Delivery: The Beast Within (2013) – Brian Netto
Releasing today on DVD from Anchor Bay is a nice take on the found footage film, combining reality television with a hint of Rosemary’s Baby, and a touch of Paranormal Activity. 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…
Orphan Black S02E07 – Knowledge of Causes, and Secret Motion of Things
I so love this show! And this week it just kept getting better and better. I’ve never come across a show that can balance drama, thrills, comedy and wrap it all up in one big conspiratorial bow, but Orphan Black consistently does that week to week. From the introduction to someone a little higher up…

In an interesting, and highly enjoyable episode, we get to spend more time with Helena (Tatiana Maslany) this week, as the clones react to the pressure that Rachel is starting to exert on Cosima, to bring Sarah to heel, and of course, turn over little Kira (Skyler Wexler). Speaking of Kira, in her moments with…

Blade Runner (1982) – Ridley Scott
Between Alien and Blade Runner, Ridley Scott has created to genre defining classics, both of which close in on the holy grail of cinematic perfection for me. The 101 Sci-Fi Movies brings me a chance to revisit this wonderfully dark sci-fi thriller. I read the book by Philip K. Dick, I bought the Marvel comics…
Canadian FilmFest – Mr. Viral (2012) – Alex Boothby
This evening, the Canadian FilmFest presents a screening of the highly enjoyable, Mr. Viral at the Royal Theatre. The film follows the antics of a group of folks in an ad agency… whose exterior is right where we work! At the center of the story is Simon (Jefferson Brown), a rather disillusioned ad man, now ad…
Bachelor Chatter
Well, here we are…a new season is upon us as bachelor Ben Flajnik takes centre stage on his quest to find true love. Last night saw a parade of – let’s say interesting and memorable – women, pass by Ben between the limos (and one horse) and the Bachelor mansion. The field was whittled down…
