Tru Calling, Season 2
(2005)
Another very good programme cancelled mid-season for failing to engage its American viewership. (And yet no one will put the mindless sitcoms out of their misery!) Eliza Dushku and Jason Priestly bring the charisma. Shawn Reaves is excellent as Tru’s ne’er-do-well brother.
Cas & Dylan
dir. Jason Priestly (2013)
Richard Dreyfuss (Cas) and Tatiana Maslany (Dylan) make the most of two larger-than-life characters pitched together on an improbable road trip across Canada. Beneath its patter, the film is gently amusing rather than out-and-out funny, and trends towards heartfelt at the end.
