| Comments: | I AM A BIG FAN OF THE LATE DIRECTIOR William Castle. His last film as director "shanks" was partly filmed in Vancouver, B.C. in 1974. This rare, hard to find film was never released on video.I acquired a bootlegged copy of this 28 year old film and saw it for the very first time in 2002. In the closing credits, they mention the Vancouver crew. I would like to know where exactly they filmed on location, because none of the exterior shot look remotely like Vancouver."Shanks" might have been filmed in the spring or summer months 1973 or 1974 with a 1974 (limited) release date. |

| Comments: | I really enjoyed this site - I was in Canada for 4 years in the 70s,
and still have family there. I like the weirdness, quirkness, and "small
town" - ness of canadian movies. And I LOVE it when they pretend to be
set in the US, but you know they aren't, the people are too nice, the street
are too clean, plus there's only one actor you ever heard of ! Plus the
police have such weird uniforms, and you also never see the number plates
of cars - that would give the game away I suppose.
Excellent movie summaries, the wit and acerbity is quite refreshing ! I'd love to buy some of these movies (having occasionally seen the better known ones like 90 days and Milk and Honey on british TV). Know where I could look ? Well done on a great job Cheers, JM Ballard |

| Comments: | In see nothing in your site about "Ebbie", a 1995 made-for-tv Canadian movie. Director ; George Kaczender, starring ;Susan Lucci,Wendy Crewson,Taran Noah Smith, Adrienne Carter, etc. It is an updated re-telling of "A Christmas Carol" about a ruthless businesswoman named Elizabeth "Ebbie" Scrooge. Why is this great little movie so hard to find out any info on ? Not available on any commercial medium, one must sit and wait for some Canadian Network (CBC, or CTV, I presume) to want to show it again !Do you know how I can obtain a copy of it for my wife, who loves the movie ? Thank-you kindly. |

| Comments: | Masked Movie Critic,
Your review of the show "Talking to Americans" was extremely weak. No one is trying to "make themeselves feel better" by poking fun at the americans. They were simply highlighting the known general ignorance of Americans. Americans themselves often discuss, on the news these days, the oblivious nature they assume. Furthermore, no one has an "american fetish". To think that's what this is about is baseless - not to mention silly. If you ask a Canadian who they prime minister of England is, they would know. Similarly if you asked a Euoropean who the leader of Canada was, for the most part, they would know. There was a simple, and hilarious, fact highlighted in Rick Mercer's clever (and wildly popular) "Talking to Americans". Not all, but MANY Americans are ignorant. So maybe they should be laughed at. - Raj |

| Comments: | Love this site! Still, a couple of movies not mentioned worth seeing:
"Heater" set in Winnipeg in winter if you can believe it! Excellent movie!
Also, Smoke Signals, a US movie but Canadian actors (Adam Beach for one)
apparently because only Canadian Indian actors are real enough. This is
one of the movies I consider "good enough to be Canadian"!
Also a short film set in Winnipeg called Nocturnal Jogger (it may have been a For the Record episode?) Anyone else remember it? |

| Comments: | You've got a lot going on here, it's true, but a brief scan showed a few pretty interesting movies missing. "Careful" is probably the best Guy Maddin movie, so it might warrant more than the rather clueless dismissals given the others that you do include. And there's Reg Harkema's "A Girl is a Girl" to consider, and "The Bloody Brood" (Peter Falk's second film) and, well... a few more probably, but I should go back and look at the site before I really say something stupid. Anyway, keep it up. |

| Comments: | Just got a few corrections of spelling for the Jake And the
Kid TV series MARTY CHAN (not MART) Fred Keating played REPEAT GOLIGHTLY (not GOROUND) Julie Khaner played EMILY HENCHBAW (not HENCHPAW) I see you must have got that tidbit from the IMDb! (They have it wrong too!) MICHAEL HOGAN played GATE GATENBY, MOLLY's father, making her MOLLY GATENBY, and DYLAN McDERMOTT (Constable Turnbull on DUE SOUTH) played the ghost of DANIEL OSBORNE! (Ok, ok, he was a guest appearance character in a few episodes....) As well, Robert Clothier (or Relic, from the CBC's "The Beachcombers") played OLD DADDY JOHNSON, another guest appearing character in several episodes. It's a good series. |

| Comments: | thanks for your site.. I remember watching the TV series "Seeing Things"
with my kids in Australia, when they were smaller and now they are over
20. So it was a while ago and I remember being glued to the series and
looking forward to seeing the bald head of the main character Louis Del
Grande.
I remember the much loved 80's Canadian TV series -called You Cant Do That on TV?- with children who got green slim tipped on themselves reguarly too |

| Comments: | A reaction to your comment of "Summer of '45" (Non Can)
It says that "the world is dismissing Canadian as nebbishes .. but in Holland we're remembered as... super-heroes...;I don't know if that's true" As a Dutch I Think that's quite true. We do look upon Canadian, and think of them as a friend nation. It was wierd for me and friends to see how American series like "Sliders" ridicule Canadian as barbarian. In other ways... Holland have there own "nebbishes people" wich is Belgium. And in a counter Belgium has Holland 8). So I think in an own way, every country has got there own "nebbish people". Still, keep on doing the good work, Canadian due make good movies ! |

| Comments: | Good editorial on the "Talking To Americans" special. I
agree with everything you said, but aren't we just saying, "People(American or not) are stupid?". If they weren't, that show would not have been very funny! Love that Rick Mercer. Too bad Salter Street Studio was just sold to Atlantis/Alliance. Say good bye to creativity! Could you please include info on the Canadian film "Tail Lights Fade" the Director and writer are old school chums of mine. Keep up the good work. James |

| Comments: | That you write about "Counterstrike" is a fatuity. Excuse
me, but it is necessary to be drivelling idiot to write, this "TV series had boring characters", "dull plots" and "Technically the series was surprisingly inept". It is perfect, intelligent, active TV series, with remarkable actors, unusual humour, every episode has the important problem. I watch many detective show (European, Canadian, US), but it's the best and the most interesting one. It is surprising, this TV series was created about ten years ago, but still is actual and is not date technically. The actors had created the very interesting characters and especially Simon MacCorkindale. His character was magnificent. I saw many films, that include him and I can tell in this show his talent was superlative. Note, for this role he received a GEMINI nomination for Best Actor in a Series. BTW, also he was an executive production consultant here. I saw he made very much for this show, plots and characters. It is bad you do not respect work of others, therefore I

in the robocop series, his name was Alex murphy, not Jake, and also, Erica Ehm's character was named Rocky, not Rusty. and about the 3rd highlander movie "the sorcerer", have you ever noticed that when he goes to the airport to pick up his son, there's a canadian flag and it says "Bienvenue à Montréal" even though it's supposed to be in New York? i think it's New York. i like this site, it's cool. |
