Marshal Hilton says You Should Have Left to The Courier

A couple of months back we interviewed veteran genre actor Marshal Hilton about his work on the great indie horror flick Echoes of Fear. At the time, we invited Marshal to return any time he had a new project to promote.

A week later, it was announced his latest film, A Clear Shot, would be released. So it only made sense to have him come back ASAP.

Marshal will indeed be in The Basement when Jason and Shawn take over the Radio NL 610 AM airwaves tonight at 6:05. And he talks A Clear Shot, working with legendary actor/director Mario Van Peebles, and how historically accurate the film -- which is based on the largest hostage incident in U.S. history -- is. It's a great talk with a great man.

But that's not all. With no summer movies to see in theatres, The Basement Boys riff on their Top 5 favourite summer movies of all time. What are they, and why do they make the list? Stick with us!

And stick around for reviews of the just-released-on-VOD You Should Have Left starring Kevin Bacon and Amanda Seyfried, the action flick The Courier with Olga Kurylenko and Gary Oldman, and Keanu Reeves's sci-fi tale Replicas.

All this for the low price of free! And you can tune in via the 610 AM dial or the streaming link to your right.

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ". I know I remember them. This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present. With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good. It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters. This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's. In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking. I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e...

#CocktailHour: Slushtail

Summer approaches, inspiring thoughts of sunshine, backyard parties, and having a tip and sip with friends. With that in mind, I bring you this week sunny beverage. To make a slushtail, mix a can of frozen orange juice, a can of frozen lemonade (or limeade), a can of pineapple juice, a couple cups of black tea (or English Breakfast), and two cups of bourbon- such as Southern Comfort, in a pitcher. When it's all nicely mixed, put it in the freezer until it's a nice slushy consistency. Scoop the slush into a cocktail glass, and pour in some Sprite or 7-Up. Add a little umbrella for some frivolous fun, and a straw. Voila! Ready to enjoy. This is a very refreshing drink. The fruit juices, Sprite, and bourbon- when chilled makes for a great punch-like drink. The bourbon doesn't overwhelm juices. In fact, they are all nicely balanced in terms of flavors. The sourness of the citrus fruits contrasts well with the slightly sweeter Sout...

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo...
