Fight breast cancer with a Killer Rack

It's been a long while since we talked about the Brooke Lewis horror/comedy Killer Rack, in which our favourite scream queen -- and regular guest on our Halloween specials -- voices a killer set of boobs.

I can't believe I just got to type that!

Anyway, the flick is playing to acclaim in the festival circuit, and we're happy to hear that. We're also happy to hear that Brooke continues to champion the fight against breast cancer, which is a passion project close to her heart.

She and Killer Rack director Gregory Lamberson have partnered with The Lynn Sage Foundation to raise money for breast cancer research. The production has created stickers showcasing the flick's Killer Rack logo and is selling them for $3, with all the profits going to Lynn Sage.

The Lynn Sage Foundation was founded by sisters Laura and Halee Sage after losing their mother, Lynn, to breast cancer. She was 39 years old. The foundation raises more than $300,000 annually to support The Lynn Sage Scholars program, founding some of the most promising researchers in the field of breast cancer in the United States.

The Killer Rack stickers can be purchased through Killer Rack's Etsy page. Direct donations can be made to The Lynn Sage Foundation by clicking on the donate button on the foundation's website.

Breast cancer is serious business, and has touched my family personally. This is a cause The Basement backs Brooke with 100 per cent!

And yes, the pic at the top of this post is from Killer Rack.

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...

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...
