The Canadian sketch comedy series Four on the Floor was an outgrowth of the CBC radio weekly Frantic Times. Appropriately, the four male stars of the series referred to themselves as "The Frantics", and did their best to live up to this cognomen. Recurring characters (there are always recurring characters in a show of this nature) included Mr. Canoehead, Quenelle and Mary, the Evil Ultramind, A Lonely Guy In a Room, and Mr. Interesting. Coproduced by the CBC and Telefilm Canada, Four on the Floor debuted June 13, 1986, and lasted thirteen weeks; it might have lasted longer had it not be scheduled opposite the phenomenally successful American sitcom The Cosby Show. ~ All Movie Guide

With the help of his geeky nephew Harold (Patrick McKenna), oft-puzzled naturalist Bill Smith (Rick Green), and the other members of the Possum Lodge (whose motto is "Quondo Omni Flunkus Moritati," or "When All Else Fails, Play Dead"), Red tackles the war between the sexes head on, with a perspective best summarized by his own statement: "Remember, we're all in the same boat -- and women are on the shore, laughing." ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

A group of teens discover that the next generation of survival horror games are more realistic than they thought when they begin dying in the same manner as their pixilated counterparts in director William Brent Bell's bloody tale of video games gone bad. In the days following the mysterious death of an old friend, a young group of gaming enthusiasts comes into possession of a chillingly realistic game based on the exploits of a 17th century noblewoman who earned the name "The Blood Countess" for her murderous exploits. Their curiosity piqued by the fact that they were obviously not supposed to come into possession of the grisly game, the teens soon give in to temptation and begin doing battle for high score. When the chilling events of the game begin to bleed over into the real world and the real-life deaths of the players begin to mirror the deaths of their in-game characters, the race is on to defeat the murderous Blood Countess and ensure that other curious gamers don't fall into the same deadly trap that they did. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
