Joseph Clement on ‘Integral Man’, Stanley Kubrick, and … Tomato Sauce?
Joseph Clement’s Integral Man was a hit at this year’s Hot Docs Festival. The documentary, filmed over several years, was a passion project for Clement who ended up spending a lot of time with James “Jim” Stewart, the owner of Integral House in Toronto, up until his death in 2014.

‘Despicable Me 3’ Review: Double, Double Toil and Bubbles
The latest in the Despicable Me franchise seems more like a film created out of necessity rather than to enhance. Despicable Me 3 was no doubt produced because it’s going to be a huge box office hit, but it doesn’t have enough substance to stand on its own, acting more as a film that sets up any eventual […]
‘The Beguiled’ Review: Kidman is Queen of Coppola’s Clan
Hot off her historic and triumphant Best Director win at Cannes, Sofia Coppola’s The Beguiled continues to prove how talented she is behind the camera. Basically reviewing itself in the title and describing its audience after seeing the film, The Beguiled is a slow burn, but when it gets good, it gets good. Taking place in Virginia in […]
