Well, I was going to go on about both Dead Air & Pontypool ( both of which I finally got to see in their entirety this past July ) but evidently they were well reviewed earlier.
For the record, Dead Air was good, but I really thought Pontypool was abit better.
So rather than there again, I just wanted to say how thrilled I am to see Stephen McHattie still rocking the screen.
Decades ago I got hooked on this little limited series called Centennial (78-79), about the eventual founding of a Colorado town. Among the many stars to grace the twenty plus episodes was McHattie who played a half breed indian named Jacques Pasquinel.
Alot of fair to decent performances here, but Stephen really hit a homer with his intense portrayal of a renegade with good reason to hate.
Afterwards, he was the go to guy for countless appearances ( Largely on TV ) but would show up in such recent films as 2012 and as the Nite Owls old man in the kick-tale superhero movie Watchmen.
But definitely his down yet unbowed rebel in PontyPool proves the old man still got it. I was impressed.
