Cartoon Network shows in the 2000s pushed boundaries, dominating TV with great shows for a decade. Total Drama offers a satirical take on reality TV shows, full of mature themes and hilarious antics. Mucha Lucha and Chowder introduced unique animation styles and storytelling with plenty of humor.
Although Cartoon Network started becoming popular in the '90s, it was in the 2000s when their shows really took off. The network had some great cartoons that started in the 2000s, and many of these series carried over into the 2010s, proving that this was the best network on TV at the time for cartoons. Not only did the network have some great shows carrying into the decade, but it introduced some seriously memorable cartoons in the 2000s as well, giving Cartoon Network an entire decade of animated dominance.

The Canadian independent film The Death of Alice Blue will have a limited release in Canada on August 6.
In the film, we follow Alice Blue (Alex Appel). She's the new creative intern at Raven Advertising. Unfortunately for her the place is run by vampires. A group of eccentrics enlist her aid in thwarting their nefarious schemes but there's a complication. There's the possibility that she herself may be genetically predisposed to being the greatest vampire ever, and the only one who can save the dying breed. Alice is forced to confront herself and make a stand, whatever the outcome.
The film was directed and written by Park Bench.
The other stars are Park Bench, Kristen Holden-Ried, Gordon Currie, Barbara Radecki, Megan Fahlenbock, Veronica Hurnick, Carolyn Dunn, Amanda Brugel, Michael Caruana, Juno Mills Cockell, Ed Fielding, Katie Griffin and John Healy.

Lesbian pregnancy is one of the queer community’s time-honored clichés. The subject (and the stereotype) has been covered in everything from The L Word to a glut of so-so Lgbt films (see: Tick Tock Lullaby, Goldfish Memory) to mainstream TV’s favorite “very special episodes.”
It was therefore almost shocking to find one of the most original, inventive and entertaining lesbian films of recent days in The Baby Formula. While premised on a lesbian pregnancy, the film is really about parenthood, family, and, more broadly, love.
Framed realistically (with just a pinch of sci-fi speculation tossed in), with truly excellent performances by both leads and the strong ensemble cast, it deserves a place on every queer parent’s watch list.
We begin with a close-up shot of two women snuggling on a porch. A documentary director and her camera crew look on, rapt. “Athena wants to have my baby,...

Rating: 6.7 out of 10
If you thought the corporations were sucking your blood, you were right. Canadian director Park Bench’s debut feature The Death of Alice Blue is the satirical tale of a shy young girl who takes a job as a low level creative executive in the Raven advertising agency, only to find out the place is run by vampires. Think dark humor and blood sucking executives and a plot that eventually somewhat loses itself. The Raven corporate office has a brilliantly executed grungy retro 80s look and is stocked with wonderful, old fashioned computer monitors and filthy corridors and bathrooms. It’s a Wristcutters (2006) feel, a world where everything is second hand, broken and rubbish, but with gothic touches, like the blood red offices of the executives. The lead is played by the beautiful Alex Appel,...
