“THE DEEPER YOU DIG is a waltz between Life, Death, and the eerie in-between; danced by three desperate souls…a mother, daughter, and a stranger who makes very bad decisions. After a late-night accident leads to murder, secrets don’t last long in the dirt, and the depths of darkness, fear, and love must be summoned to […]

“The film is about the surprising influence Kung Fu cinema has had on movie making and popular culture.  It’s a love letter to the cinema of the underdog.” Director Serge Ou on IRON FISTS & KUNG FU KICKS which is screening at Fantastic Fest 2019!  Congratulations on your film playing in at Fantastic Fest this […]

SCREAM, QUEEN! is a documentary about the GAYEST horror movie ever made and the closeted actor who’s career it ruined. NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY’S REVENGE was supposed to be Mark Patton’s big break, but the coded gay subtext of the script brought out a secret he had been hiding from the world. No […]

“GRIEF is about a couple who’ve lost a son under some pretty horrible circumstances. After a year of blaming each other and driving their relationship into the ground, they come to a point of ‘final reckoning,’ where a stranger arrives in the middle of the night and makes them face their fears of blame and […]

“ROCK, PAPER & SCISSORS is a thriller crossed with family drama and black twisted humor. The return of a prodigal daughter in search of her share of an inheritance puts her against her two half siblings and drags the family into a perverse struggle for power or ultimately at least for survival.” Congratulations on your […]

Another year, another glorious time at the 2019 edition of the Toronto International Film Festival. While I know there were a lot of people trying to celeb-spot or spend hundreds of dollars on flashy premieres, I was in the trenches seeing one movie after another for 11 days straight. I saw a delightful mix of […]

The following is the second of two reviews on the new Disney Product THE LION KING. Click on the main page to read Managing Editor Jason Whyte’s take on this…movie. I feel nothing. So, I’m about on par with the emotional range of the reimagined characters in Disney’s baffling remake of THE LION KING. We […]

The following is the first of two reviews from GRM contributors on the remake of THE LION KING. Click above on the main page to also read Dustin Burrsma’s take on this new Disney franchise picture. It’s a pretty pathetic thing to think that the only reason that a new version of THE LION KING […]

The buddy-cop movie is a genre that doesn’t really exist anymore, so when I first heard about STUBER at this year’s South By Southwest Film Festival, I was really excited about it. That it was also directed Canada’s own Michael Dowse (FUBAR, IT’S ALL GONE PETE TONG, GOON, THE F WORD) captured my interest even […]

Remember when BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY won four Oscars? Please remember that fact when you go to see the far superior Elton John bio-musical, ROCKETMAN, and remember it even harder when this Oscar season sputters into gear, because I can already think of a handful of nominations I would like to award to this film. Not to […]

Hey, you know those movies that you know are beyond silly but you just love them anyways, warts and all? The new release CRAWL is this movie. It is delightful in its simple existence as a movie that seeks out to entertain, get you pumped up, a little scared and claustrophobic in a singular setting […]

Out of all of the big movies that have passed through my eyeballs in 2019 so far, Jordan Peele’s US, a followup to his breakout smash hit GET OUT, is definitely one of the most talked about. Back in March I was standing in an incredibly long line to attend the premiere at the Austin, […]

Do you think Disney has been digitally de-aging celebrities with increasing regularity over the years in anticipation of this, a film where one of the top-billed stars needs to look like he did in 1995 for the entire duration? This is one of the more pressing questions I had coming out of the latest MCU […]
