The Great Canadian Guide to the Movies (and TV)
------  Links  ------
If you know of a web site about Canadian film and/or TV, or a Canadian actor or actress, feel free to e-mail me (they should be about Canadians, but the website doesn't have to be by a Canadian). It might take me a bit to put up your suggestions, but they're appreciated (as our reciprocal links). And if you send in a suggestion, and time goes by, and it's not added here...feel free to send it in again (I might've forgotten, or lost the e-mail). The worst that can happen is I'll just ignore you again! I reserve the right to reject suggestions if I feel they stray too far from this site's criteria.
 




Here are some Time-Sensitive (ie: temporary) announcements/listings:

Reservation requests received after that date will be based on availability at the Park Hyatt Toronto's existing rates.



 
Here are some company sites:

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation:  Say what you want about the virtues of private enterprise, say what you want about the problems at the CBC, but the fact is, there wouldn't be a Canadian TV and film culture -- even today -- if not for the good ol' Mother Corp.

imX:  Another maritime-based production house, responsible for "Margaret's Museum" among others.

Salter Street Films:  One of the principle film houses in the maritimes -- if it comes out of the East, odds are Salter Street had a finger in it. They also produce Lexx.

Sullivan Entertainment:  The people behind Anne of Green Gables, Road to Avonlea, and a host of other productions.

Telefilm CanadaThe major film funding agency in Canada.

Here are some sites relating to Movies and TV (mainly Canadian, some more general):

TV, eh?:  A handy little guide with links to articles and news releases relating to Canadian TV shows, including those ever elusive interviews with the stars, etc. 

Reel Canada:  The official site for a project bringing Canadian movies into schools -- check it out. 

Canadian Actor On-Line:  (I've corrected the bad link I had to this one) Info about and for Canadian actors, including links to other review websites, plus fan pages dedicated to Canadian actors. Intended primarily as a resource for people in the biz, it still has enough interesting links and stuff for fans. Co-created by actress Lynda Mason Green. 

CBC Television Series 1952-1982:  An unofficial, but extremely extensive site detailing zillions of CBC TV series, with cast lists, etc.

Well Known People Who Happen to be Canadian

The Canadian Celebrities Site

Canuxploitation!: Your Complete Guide to Canadian B-Film - Chok full of reviews and articles on the "other" Canadian cinema, the pulpy, lurid films that don't get the awards, but do make it to the video shelves!

Les doubleurs de la Belle Province!/Dubbers from Quebec!: a nifty idea for a website, ideal for Canada (being an officially bilingual country), it's a fan site devoted to the art of dubbing, and some of the actors who work behind the scenes to let movies cross the language barrier. It's in both English and en Francaise. (I recently corrected the out-of-date link)

Espy An entertainment site with news and reviews. Not especially related to Canadian stuff.

Hollywood North Magazine: website for a magazine with news about the Canadian entertainment biz (and movie stuff in general) including reviews, press releases, etc.

JamMovies:  Another site with reviews of Canadian movies. With all modesty, I must point out that its catalogue of 250 reviews is but a drop in the ocean compared to this site, nor are its credit listings as thorough, but -- hey -- it does offer alternative opinions.

Made in Canada Home Page:  No, it's not a site about the CBC sitcom. Rather it's a site devoted to SF made by or with Canadians, including a big database on Canadian actors with minor or major science fiction film credits. There's also stuff on authors and more.

Memorable TV: A resource for info about old TV shows with descriptions, cast lists, etc. Not Canadian focused, per se, but still looks to be a good resource. 

TV Tome: Another great resource -- not Canadian-centric, but with plenty of Canadian entries -- for TV series, including episode guidess and the like.

New Canadian Movies:  Looks to be a site not affiliated with any company or production house, with tidbits and info on Canadian movies.

Northern Stars:  A big data base with info on Canadian-born celebrities.

Who's Who in Film & TV in Vancouver B.C.:  A database with links and pix of various people, both actors and behind-the-scenes, currently working in and around Vancouver. A resource for film fans and maybe industry pros thinking of shooting in B.C. Also links to the B.C. Women in Film pages. 

The Internet Movie Database:  Ye Gods, how do they do it? Not devoted to Canadian movies, per se, but still the most extensive listing of movies and TV series (American, Canadian, etc.) I've ever seen. Rarely are there reviews (although they're adding more and more), and there are a few Canadian movies I've noticed they don't have, but still heaven for the movie buff (just don't forget about little ol' me once ya get there, O.K.?)

Tdfilm.com:  An extensive database of links to movie reviews, movie sites, actor web-pages, fan pages. You name it. Not specifically Canadian, but there's some Canadian links there. 

Vancouver Show Business Insider:  The title says it all. 


 
Some Miscellaneous Fan Sites

The Lexx Zone: A big site dedicated to the cult sci-fi series

The Lexx Verse: Another site dedicated to the cult sci-fi series

The Hilarious House of Frightenstein: A fan site dedicated to the weird and cult popular 1970s kids series starring Billy Van, Vincent Price and others

The Lost World: A site devoted to the original British novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -- but since Canadians have made a bunch of different versions of this story in the last decade, fans of any of those versions might want to check out the real thing.

Nightfall-25: a site dedicated to the CBC radio horror anthology series.

The Rocket Robin Hood Page:  A detailed site devoted to the Canadian cartoon series that most of us (at least of a certain generation) seem to recall with affection. Also links to various other pop culture web-pages by the same guy, including a Littlest Hobo page. 

The Forest Rangers:  A nice site devoted to the classic Canadian series.
