Afflicted Capsule Review [TIFF 2013]

This low-budget, delightfully novel twist on two otherwise way over-saturated genres (found footage being one, the other is better left unsaid so as not to spoil one of the film’s big reveals), starts out as a patience-trying travelogue being produced by two best friends on a year-long, round-the-world trip.

Stay Capsule Review [TIFF 2013]

Based on the novel by Aislinn Hunter, the sweetly melancholic Stay introduces us to Dermot (Aidan Quinn) and Abbey (Taylor Schilling, from Netflix’s Orange is the New Black), a couple in the midst of a May/December romance that’s only beginning to emerge from its hazy honeymoon phase.

A preposterously overblown take on the drug trade, Savages is occasionally fun but mostly just plain dumb.

A film that truly lives up to its name, Brave gives animated princesses a much-needed reboot.

Roundtable Interview With Mark Andrews And Katherine Sarafian On Brave

When you think of the filmmakers and artists who work at Pixar it's not hard to envy their jobs. Not only do they get to work for one of the most respected movie studios - animated or otherwise - in the world, but they also get to tap into their inner child almost every, single day in order to make their dreams come to life on the big screen. That's not to say it's not a whole lot of work along the way. Director Mark Andrews and Producer Katherine Sarafian know all about that. It took over 6 years for the concept of their latest Pixar gem to make its way from a kernel of an idea to a finished film set to delight audiences the way it did when they were in Toronto to present Brave at its Canadian Premiere.

Rock Of Ages Review

Far from being a true "Juke Box Hero," Rock of ages still manages to delight with its own giddy brand of utter stupidity.

Piranha 3DD Review

This brainless and soulless throwback to exploitation cinema occasionally entertains but mostly just makes you root for carnivorous fish to do away with everyone involved.

Snow White And The Huntsman Review

Not quite the fairest in the land, but certainly fair enough to keep you enchanted by the sets, costumes and a delightful Chris Hemsworth.

Men In Black 3 Review

This mostly solid sequel is a return to form for the series and just stellar enough to make it a must-see for fans of summer popcorn fare, no matter your age.

Chernobyl Diaries Review

Sitting through this shaky-cam disaster of Chernobyl-like proportions is simply not worth your time, money or equilibrium.
