Cupid (1998)
An under-appreciated gem....
"It is a slam-dunk. A home run. A sports cliché of your choice" - Cupid/Trevor ep8.
A quote from the show that surmises the show itself quite well. Years have passed since this show was canceled and I still get angry when I think that this show got passed over for all the other crap that seemed to make it through. It only goes to prove how narrow-minded, humor- and passion-less the average TV watcher is.
This show cannot be simply called a romance, because it is witty, intelligent, quick passed, heartbreaking... I have a copy of the only episodes made and the transcripts of shows 16 and 17 and I've seen or read them all at least 3 times in the last 5 months.
The only thing that would be better than this series being on DVD is if they started making it again. With all the "reality TV" out there and the loss of gems like "sex in the city" it's about time that we got a show that looks at love and relationships in a humorous way without having to shove physical intimacy down our throats or that includes high-school kids talking like 30year-olds and dealing with more drama than that typically reserved for day-time TV.
Nemesis Game (2003)
An Intellectual movie worth the time
It could be easy to complain about the quality of this movie (you don't have to throw cartloads of money at a movie to make it good, nor will it guarantee that it is worth watching) but I think that is totally missing the point. If your expecting fast cars, T&A or a movie that will spell itself out for you then don't watch this, you'll be disappointed and dumbfounded.
This movie was thoroughly enjoyable, kept us on the edge of our seats and made us really think. The writer obviously put a lot of thought and research behind this movie and it shows through the end, just remember to keep an open mind.
Note: the school scenes were all filmed at McMaster University and most of the rest was done in Toronto.
