La Brea (2021)
La Brea Pilot Episode
This pilot episode takes me back to another long gone TV Series called Terra Nova which postulated the likelihood of either time travel or travel to alternate realities through a portal.
Coroner (2019)
A Slow Start with some potential
Like all CBC Dramas, this series starts very slow but the characters need fleshing out. But we are given the sense that the lead characters are evolving and growing into their roles. Like all CBC shows, the plots and subplots intertwine. And of course, some subplots go nowhere. It's unique to CBC scriptwriters. They have gone to the same school of thought for the past 40 years. Yes, I have endured CBC Drama since Wojek (1960s CBC Series about a Toronto Coroner).
Reverie (2018)
Dreamscape
This pilot episode takes me back to the movie "Dreamscape" which depicts a near future (1980s era) where psychic individuals from a government funded agency can enter people's dreams. While visiting people's dreams and changing their outcomes (to help their waking lives) they discover a conspiracy. Some other agency is also entering people's dreams.
Bon Voyage (2006)
Suspend all Logic
A middle aged Dad and frustrated Mom head off to France for a camping driving trip in a vintage car. Now one has to ask the question as to why one would go on a long distance trip in a 33 year old car (as of the movie release in 2006). This choice of vehicle is especially true if one is not prepared to repair said vehicle. The Dad must like tinkering with cars. Guess what, the guy collects and restores them. But then they run into an overly friendly couple who first befriends them and then stalks them. Slowly, oh so slowly, the couple realise that the couple are after their kids. Fortunately, the stalkers are not that bright. But then, neither are the camping couple. Watching this min-series movie will lower your IQ.
