The Doctor (Tennant) and Rose (Billie Piper) begin their adventures together, as they travel to New Earth. Written by Russell T. Davies, Rose started her travels with Ten on 15 April, 2006. Tennant owns the role right from the off. He’s fun, excitable, and clever. To show that the Doctor was still the same character,…

Batman: The Animated Series (1992) – I Am The Night, Almost Got ‘Im and Moon of the Wolf
Batman (Kevin Conroy) makes Gotham’s streets a little safer this week, with three more episodes from the classic series. First up is I Am The Night, which aired 9 November, 1992, Batman examines his role in the city, and if he is good enough for it, when Commissioner Gordon (Bob Hastings) is critically injured….
WolfCop (2014) – Lowell Dean
Get ready to howl, as the B-movie flick that caught everyone’s attention last year hits DVD today thanks to Anchor Bay! With its tongue planted so firmly in its cheek, it’s a wonder that the wolf can howl at all, this film heartily embraces and savages it Canadian and B-movie origins, while showcasing some fantastic…
Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) – Charles Barton
The Frankenstein cycle in the Sci-Fi Chronicles books takes a quirky turn (and not for the last time) into comedy as the Monster tests out his comedy feet in this Universal classic that was my introduction to the original monsters. Costello’s brain is up for grabs as Wilbur (Costello) is watched over by Sandra…
Trailer Tracks: Teen Wolf – Rod Daniel
While Tim is away, Sue will play! I thought I’d start out my trailer tracks with a throw way, way back to a film that’s as good cheesy fun today as it was when it came out, Teen Wolf. One of several Michael J Fox vehicles to hit our screens throughout the mid-80’s, this one…
Bitten S01E02 – Prodigal
Tonight on Space, the second episode of the sexy new werewolf series, Bitten, based on Kelley Armstrong’s novels howls on the small screen. Much like the first episode, it become readily apparent that the series is more interested in developing their characters than rushing into storytelling. Yes, there is a story at play here,…
Bitten S01E01 – Summons
Tonight on Space, Kelley Armstrong’s books come to live with Daegan Fryklind’s adaptation of The Women of the Otherworld series title Bitten. Filmed here in the Toronto area, the series itself is set in Toronto and upstate New York, specifically Bear Valley and the Danvers home, Stone Haven. It follows the story of Elena Micheals (Laura Vandervoort), a woman who…
Toronto After Dark – Game of Werewolves – Juan Martinez Moreno
Somehow we’ve reached the end of this year’s Toronto After Dark Film Festival, it went QUICK! The film that closed out the event, and who’s trailer did not do it any justice at all was Game of Werewolves, a delightful little horror-comedy, though placing it after a Simon Pegg comedy may not have been the way to…
An American Werewolf In London (1981) – John Landis
I love this movie! It’s one of my all time favorite horror films, and I was so happy to revisit it on the 101 Horror Movies list. There’s nothing I don’t love about it, the source music – all the songs have the word moon in the title; Jenny Agutter – so amazingly hot in…
The Howling (1981)
Joe Dante appears on the 101 Horror Movies, not with Gremlins, not with Piranha, but with his werewolf tale, The Howling. This is just a fun film, as most of Dante’s films tend to be. It’s also filled with inside jokes and cameos. If you watch the background, and book titles, and pictures on the…
