I like Robert Carlyle, I like Guy Pearce, and there’s some really horrific stuff in this film, but I have to be honest, the musical score kept ejecting me from the film. Beyond that it’s a tightly crafted film about cannibals, using the story of the Donner Party as a loose launching point. Guy Pearce…

The Full Monty (1997) – Peter Cattaneo
I remember the first time I saw The Full Monty and how much I laughed and got emotionally involved with the film. I haven’t watched it in the better part of two decades so I was quite happy to sit down and watch it again. Robert Carlyle stars alongside Mark Addy, Tom Wilkinson, Steve Huison,…
The World is Not Enough (1999) – Michael Apted
Pierce Brosnan’s third outing as Ian Fleming’s James Bond is the next 007 film for me to view following my reading of For Your Eyes Only, having previously reviewed all the preceding 007 films to that point. This one is a mixed bag as it has perhaps the worst female lead casting for a Bond…
28 Weeks Later (2007) – Juan Carlos Fresnadillo
The zombie madness continues as I work my way through the chapter on this vicious version of the undead in DK Canada’s Monsters in the Movies. Much like the first film, 28 Days Later, this film is violent, kinetic, and features some solid star power. The rage virus has swept across the UK, but a…
28 Weeks Later (2007) – Juan Carlos Fresnadillo
Seems I can’t really get away from the zombie genre lately, and the Sci-Fi Chronicles let me catch up on the sequel to Boyle’s classic 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, which obviously, picks up 6 months after the events of the first film. This one is packed with recognizable faces and names, Jeremy…
Sue’s Week in TV – Hits & Highlights
Once Upon A Time – Season Three, Episode One: Heart of the Truest Believer This week saw the return of magic once again to our TV screens, and while I wasn’t as geared up in anticipation as I’ve been for some other shows, OUAT is always a solid happy hour for me, and this…
Current TV Shows I Most Enjoy – Part II
Teen Wolf – I know, I know – how do I go from a period show (Bomb Girls) to a modern series based on a reimagining of a belovedly ridiculous teen flick from the 80’s? Well, I’ll tell you this much: the shows in this list have more in common with one another than they…
Once Upon A Time – Season 2 – Episode 1 – Broken
My excitement level for the return of OUAT has been pretty extreme as of late, and I geared up even more for the season 2 premiere last night by watching the hour-long recap episode that aired right before it, as well! Two hours’ worth of magic, mystery and mayhem – could a Sunday night…
Sue’s Series Squawk – Once Upon A Time (Season One)
What a wonderfully delightful surprise THIS charming series ended up being! In my mind, I’d signed up for it and Grimm as soon as I heard about them, but I was vaguely certain that I would prefer Grimm’s darkness to OUAT’s charm in the end. How wrong I was! I think I was in…
Rumpelstiltskin Revelations!
Once Upon A Time was back last night, looking to pick up where it left off before the holidays. Taking place about 2 weeks after the death of our favourite Sheriff, Storybrooke finds itself in the hunt for a newone, and the audience finally gets a look into the past FairyTale life of the very mysterious Mr….
