Remembering The Classics

Guest Post by Jeanine Lebsack Lately I have been doing a lot of reminiscing about all the things I did as a child. My mother suffered from insomnia after years of my father’s night shifts, and as a baby I didn’t sleep very often. It took its toll, and on those late nights when she would just stay awake I would keep her company while everyone else was sleeping. I

Oscars 2014 – That’s a Wrap

By Mieke Trudeau As I have done over the last three years, I recently attended the AMC Theaters Best Picture Showcase. This annual marathon of the movies nominated for a Best Picture Oscar is held in select AMC movie theaters. Even though a few locations show all nine movies in one sitting, I prefer the screening that divides the list over two consecutive Saturdays. Twelve hours of movie watching is

Fandom: A Con-Goer's Perspective

By Stacey Gillard Four years ago, fuelled by an illness and a desire to have something to look forward to, I made a decision that took me on a new and surprisingly life-altering path: I booked tickets to go to one day of the Supernatural fan convention in my home town of Vancouver. The idea of attending such an event had never appealed to me. Because of a possibly unfair

One of the things I always look forward to at “Supernatural” conventions is speaking with Matt Cohen. He was great on “Supernatural” as Young John Winchester but beyond that; he is a really great guy. Matt always seems to be the one who takes a moment to say “hi” to a fan who looks shy. During karaoke, he’s always quick to jump in and help if someone looks a little

The Dark Knight Rises - When You're a Jet, You're a Jet

This article contains mild character spoilers, and a few vague story spoilers. LOVED IT. I haven’t really been into superhero movies, until The Dark Knight came out. Then along came Iron Man, and I was hooked. I mean, I liked The Hulk – the Ed Norton Hulk (sorry, Lou Ferrigno & Eric Bana), but capital-H hated The Watchmen. So it turns out I may be a bit of a superhero

The Rum Diary, Based on the Novel by Hunter S. Thompson

Based on the novel The Rum Diary (1961), this movie starring Johnny Depp (Paul Kemp), Aaron Eckhart (Sanderson), & Amber Heard (Chenault), is the story of Paul Kemp’s journey to San Juan to work for a newspaper that is barely solvent, and teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. For those who know my love for everything Thompson, you know how painful this is for me to write. I just came from seeing
