CFF 2023 Interview – HOW TO GET MY PARENTS TO DIVORCE director Sandrine Brodeur-Desrosiers
“This film was very special and distinct from my other work. I had worked a lot with kids in my previous films, but these films were not necessarily for children. Although, the previous films had great lives in festivals (the short JUST ME AND YOU won the crystal bear at the Berlinale – awarded by […]
CFF 2023 Interview – POLARIZED director/writer Shamim Sarif
“My wife and producer Hanan and I both come from families who’ve experienced being immigrants. My family escaped apartheid, and of course Palestinians have often had to escape conflict. Right now we’re seeing a new hard line rhetoric about immigration all over the world. Therefore I wanted to explore what it might take for two […]

In it we discussed Brad’s Status which played in TIFF’s Platform program. Below are some of the highlights of that roundtable. Get Reel Movies: I’m apart of the […]

Indian Horse tells the story of a boy who’s taken away from his family and thrown into a residential school. He experiences unimaginable horrors in his early years and it’s not until he finds the game of hockey that his life starts to change. Directed by Stephen Campanelli Indian Horse is an honest look at […]
TIFF 2017: ‘Brawl in Cell Block 99’ Review
Craig S. Zahler is back with his first film since the phenomenal Western Bone Tomahawk and man did he knock it out of the park. Brawl in Cell Block 99 follows Bradley (not Brad) who’s played by longtime comedic actor Vince Vaughn. Bradley is a drug runner for his friend Gil because of a need for money to provide […]
Richard Armitage discusses ‘Pilgrimage’, his Fans and a Possible Return to Theatre
Richard Armitage is a man of the people. While most know him from The Hobbit Trilogy, he has amassed a fandom from all over. He is loved by the theatre crowd, specifically for his brilliant turns in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and William Shakespeare’s Macbeth. He is also known for his roles in television, starring in Berlin Station and also having […]
‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard’ Review: Saved by Reynolds and Jackson
The Hitman’s Bodyguard is an unusual beast. From the trailers it looked like another buddy comedy, and in many ways it was. One thing that stands out in The Hitman’s Bodyguard is the hitman, Darius Kincaid played by Samuel L Jackson. He’s unlike any trained killer we’ve seen on screen before, as he laughs, loves and cries. His […]
‘Detroit’ Review: A Gripping, Refreshing Look at Civil Rights
Kathryn Bigelow knows how to make a good non-fiction thriller. That is a simple fact. With Zero Dark Thirty she expertly told the story of the assassination of Bin Laden. In The Hurt Locker she explored the lives of bomb disposal teams in the Middle East and showcased Bigelow at the peak of her powers. With Detroit, she has once again crafted […]
‘Message from the King’ Review: Revenge at its Brutal Best
Los Angeles is often nicknamed “The City of Angels” and it’s not hard to see why. But in Message from the King we get to see a different side of Los Angeles, one that I haven’t witnessed before on the big screen. Message from the King revolves around Jacob King (a dark, bitter Chadwick Boseman) who comes to LA to […]
‘Lady Macbeth’ Review: Florence Pugh is a Force to be Reckoned With
When listing off the most recognizable female characters in history it doesn’t take long before Lady Macbeth shows up. Showing up in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, she was a completely memorizing character and was arguably more evil than Macbeth himself. We’ve seen multiple works in Hollywood tackle Shakespeare’s epic, with the latest one starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard […]
Why ‘The Little Hours’ Stands Out in a Year of Disappointing Comedies
If we’re being completely honest, comedies in the recent months have not worked. Sometimes the idea is there, but the execution or the script fails the film. The Little Hours is not one of those films. It’s not only one of the craziest comedies you’ve seen in a while, it’s also the most ingenious. Below are some reasons […]
‘Dunkirk’ Review: Nolan’s Masterpiece
Christopher Nolan is one of the greatest directors working today. There’s no point in arguing about that because everyone seems to agree. From Memento to The Dark Knight to Inception, Nolan has crafted genre bending films that stay with you forever. Dunkirk, however, was the first time Nolan would be making a movie based on a true story. A huge undertaking, […]
‘Ozark’ S1 E1 Review – Pilot
At first glance Ozark might just be your typical “family man turns into a criminal” show. But it’s not. As the old saying goes; “don’t judge a book by its cover” and that saying applies wholeheartedly to Ozark. It’s dark, new and could be the new Bloodline. Funny man Jason Bateman continues his career renaissance by starring as Marty […]
