Jason and Shawn versus Chilling Visions: 5 Senses of Fear

Chilling Visions: 5 Senses of Fear

Jason: This is a great horror anthology that starts out somewhat light and ends with a bang. And everything in between is enjoyable too. What works in 5 Senses of Fear's favour is no matter how dark it gets -- and some of the material gets pretty dark -- it's still a lot of fun. The stories remind me of the old EC Vault of Horror and Tales from the Darkside comics. Gruesome yet not too heavy. This is horror the way horror is supposed to be – entertaining! My favourite story is Touch but, unlike most anthologies, there's no weak entry in the mix. All you Basementites who have access to the Chiller network need to tune in tonight or catch 5 Senses of Fear on rerun. You won't be disappointed. A Good from me.

Shawn: I've probably never said this before, I REALLY despise "mini-story" movies. Really. When I discovered that this was comprised of five of them, I lost interest. Until I watched it. I would have never gone out of my way to watch this if it wasn't something I had to watch for our show. Thank Jebus for our show. There are so many diamonds in the rough. This one is no exception. Every story was fantastically told in a super short amount of time, and the gore goods where delivered when needed. Zero cheese. Really. I liked every aspect of every flick. Really would watch this again. And shark chick -- hot! A Good.

#CocktailHour: Slushtail

  Summer approaches, inspiring thoughts of sunshine, backyard parties, and having a tip and sip with friends.  With that in mind, I bring you this week sunny beverage. To make a slushtail, mix a can of frozen orange juice, a can of frozen lemonade (or limeade), a can of pineapple juice, a couple cups of black tea (or English Breakfast), and two cups of bourbon- such as Southern Comfort, in a pitcher.  When it's all nicely mixed, put it in the freezer until it's a nice slushy consistency. Scoop the slush into a cocktail glass, and pour in some Sprite or 7-Up.  Add a little umbrella for some frivolous fun, and a straw. Voila!  Ready to enjoy. This is a very refreshing drink.  The fruit juices, Sprite, and bourbon- when chilled makes for a great punch-like drink.  The bourbon doesn't overwhelm juices.   In fact, they are all nicely balanced in terms of flavors.  The sourness of the citrus fruits contrasts well with the slightly sweeter Southern Comfort.  It was refreshing enou

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ".  I know I remember them.  This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present.  With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good.  It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters.  This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's.  In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking.  I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e
