Toronto After Dark Film Festival – Tim’s Tops

So The Mind Reels’ first year covering The Toronto After Dark Film Festival has come to an end, and it was FANTASTIC! Now that it’s over I thought it would be nice to compile my top 5 films of the festival. I want to be clear, I could have happily included A Fantastic Fear of…

The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Good evening Clarice… The best of the best of the serial killer genre, and a most welcome name to come across on the 101 Horror Movies list, as well as one of The Mind Reels’ co-creator Sue Maynard’s favorite movies. I saw this Best Picture film no less than 5 times in the theater (coincidence…

Lisa Wegner and Carl Elster

Sue and I headed to a west end Starbucks the other night, almost in my neck of the woods, to sit down and chat with artists and filmmakers Lisa Anita Wegner and Carl Elster. They’re getting ready for Nuit Blanche here in T.O. a huge night of free art that keeps the city awake until sunrise. Their…

Fan Expo Day 4

Somehow, Day 4 of Fan Expo has come and gone – and it’s all over for another year. Wow. It’s been an amazing weekend, and each day just seemed to hold the bar or raise it in terms of awesomeness. This morning should have been a sign! Sue and I checked in at the Media…

Fan Expo Day 3

Saturdays can be tough at Fan Expo if you aren’t ready and prepared. Sue and I find that the real key to Saturdays is try to stay out of everyone’s way – stay off the floor as much as you can and enjoy the Q&As and photo ops. Pick one thing you need and want to…

NFCC – Batmobile & Tim and April

  Last weekend Sue and I got to go to Niagara Falls to cover the wonderful Comic Con that was put on there. We had a great time, and if you haven’t seen all the pics, take a look at our Facebook page, or check out our Comic Con post from earlier in the week….
