For the past couple of weeks, in between fangirling over the madness of Orphan Black, procrastinating over everything (probably could’ve written this a week ago), and consistently shoving Ben & Jerry’s Milk & Cookies down my throat, I have been reading Dust in the Wind by William Hutchison. Hutchison has spent over 35 years working…
BEWARE: I SPOIL. Season two is spectacular. It’s mind-blowing. Intense. Edgy. Everything. If Orphan Black was a single man, we’d be married by now on our fifteenth child because they are pulling out all of the stops to get me completely infatuated. At the beginning of this episode, Sarah and Felix reminded me a…
BEWARE: I spoil. With the upcoming premiere of Orphan Black’s second season growing nearer and nearer, what better time to give a crash course on the who’s who in the Clone Club? I’ll give you the rundown on all our important clones, but remember, the first rule of the Clone Club is never tell anyone…

Directed by Alfonso Cuaron Written by Alfonso Cuaron and Carlos Cuaron Starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney PG-13, 90 minutes Darkness.

The movie V For Vendetta came out in 2005. It follows a mysterious man as he attempts to bring freedom to the oppressed people of Britain, London specifically. Without giving away the plot, the movie focuses on the revolution that the man, known only as V, starts. He fights for freedom, doing whatever he needs…
The term “mind-blowing” has been used so pervasively when it comes to describing a movie that it seems somewhat disingenuous to label a movie as such these days. How can so many movies be mind-blowing when the marketing campaigns for each try to pass it off as a game changing adventure the likes of which…
When director Alfonso Cuaron last presented his work to the world, the year was 2006 and the result was Children of Men. An unconventional post-apocalyptic tale where the human race is on its way out due to an epidemic of infertility, the movie was toasted with great reviews but underwhelmed at the box office. I…
Director Paul Verhoeven had quite an eccentric filmography after breaking out with American audiences in the late 1980’s, perhaps more so than any other working at the time. Following his success with the classic satirical science fiction actioner Robocop in 1987, the Dutch born filmmaker went on to direct Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1990 blockbuster…
Directed by Danny Boyle Written by Joe Ahearne and John Hodge Starring James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson, Vincent Cassel, Danny Sapani, Wahab Sheikh, Matt Cross and Tuppence Middleton R, 102 minutes Trance is a “whodunit” made with scintillating visual style and a mind-bending narrative that pulsates every scene. Actually, “whodunit” isn’t the correct term for what…
What if you combined the free roaming stealth and action of Assassin’s Creed with a mind altering story in the same vein as Inception? The result would be Remember Me, a new game from developer Dontnod and Capcom. Set in Neo Paris in the year 2084, players will take on the role of Nilin, a…
