Happy Canada Day! July 1st is the day we celebrate when this great country of ours became one. It’s a country of great beer, poutine, and fantastic movies.

‘The Hero’ Review: A Character Study that Resonates
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about The Hero is that it is this year’s Birdman. This is one of the biggest compliments I could give a film. The story centers around an aging Western icon, Lee Hayden who, thanks to a viral video has a chance at reviving his career in the movies. Along […]
CSFF 2017: ‘Keepers of the Game’ Review
For years lacrosse has been the main sport for the men of the Akwesasne Mohawk Territory. But that changes when the local High School forms an all girls lacrosse team. They must face an uphill battle to be respected by their classmates but also their community. When they reach the Championship, it’s much more than […]
CSFF 2017: ‘Hillsborough’ Review
On April 15, 1989, one of the worst days in football (soccer) history occurred. 96 men and women went to watch a game and never returned. Growing up as a Liverpool fan my Grandpa always told me about the Hillsborough disaster and how important it was that we honour the memory of those 96 who […]
‘Score: A Film Music Documentary’ is a Must See for Film Fans
The score of a film is just as important as the screenplay or the cinematography. It brings forth emotion or can completely change a film’s essence. Score: A Film Music Documentary deals with the beauty of film scores and studies some of the greatest composers and their greatest compositions. Unsurprisingly it does an amazing job. While interviews […]
‘The Fate of the Furious’ is Utterly Ridiculous and That’s Okay
By: Daniel Chadwick-Shubat The Fate of the Furious is the eight installment in the Fast & Furious franchise and it’s understandable that some people are starting to be less interested in the series. I was in the group that believed that the way Furious 7 ended was a perfect way to end the series. Paul Walker’s death had a huge […]

‘Weirdos’ is Amazingly Weird
By: Daniel Chadwick-Shubat What makes a Canadian film? Is it the awesome portrayal of Canada’s great outdoors exhibited in Sleeping Giant? The wonderful comedy on display in The Grand Seduction? Or is it the honest look at humanity in Away From Her? In my eyes each of those things make Canadian films. Luckily, Weirdos is a film that possesses all […]

Interview: George Mendeluk & ‘Bitter Harvest’
I had the chance to see Bitter Harvest at the Kingston Canadian Film Festival and after the festival Mr. Mendeluk was kind enough to grant an interview over the phone. We talked a lot about the history behind this movie and also dived into the making of the film with some interesting tidbits coming up. […]

Cafe Society – Poorly Structured Drama
By: Matt Neglia Woody Allen is back with another romantic comedy, this time, set in the Golden Age of Hollywood filled with all of his usual tropes, character types, situations and witty dialogue we have come to expect from the now 80-year-old director. In his latest, he explores a young man’s search for love within […]
Suicide Squad – A Jump in the Right Direction
By: Daniel Chadwick-Shubat After seeing Suicide Squad I had mixed emotions. The critics were without a doubt wrong in my mind. Suicide Squad was much better made and more enjoyable than Batman vs Superman. DC took note from Marvel and added a bit more comedy, whilst keeping the signature dark vibe intact. Obviously, it had its problems too, but those […]
