RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART 2
May 9 2013Locked up after the events of First Blood (You mean you didn’t watch it?), Rambo (Stallone) is freed from prison by Cnl Trautmann (Crenna) for a recon mission in Vietnam in search of any remaining POW’s. He’s armed with a camera, a huge knife and a bow, with a seemingly inexhaustible supply of explosive arrows. Yes, he’s under orders just to take pictures, but you know...

Cafe De Flore - Film review
April 12 2012This is a story, or shall I say, two stories which intertwine in a way you wouldn't predict if you don't sit through the entire film with angst of anticipation. From Quebec writer/director Jean-Marc Vallée, Cafe De Flore is a masterpiece, combining two narratives set 40 years apart in two different places (Montreal, Canada and Paris, France). Vallée cuts between the...

Oscars nods and snubs
January 25 2012This year’s Oscar nominees were announced today and everyone is talking about who wasn’t nominated as much as they're talking about who was (if not more so). The big surprise is that Martin Scorsese’s film Hugo leads the field this year with 11 nominations. Most of Hugo’s nominations are in the technical categories like cinematography, which is why Hugo...

First Blood
April 29 2013RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD “They drew first blood, not me” If you’ve come to the film expecting a Stallone style barrage of blood and bullets, you’ll be strangely surprised by First Blood. True, there’s a fair bit of gunfire and a spectacular explosion or two, but it’s a far more thoughtful film than much of his later work. It attempts to tell the story of a...

Ferris 2? Anyone? Anyone? ...
February 9 2012In the era of sequels, prequels, remakes and reboots it's amazing that we haven't seen more of Ferris Bueller over the years. The 1986 hit film was a cultural phenomenon and it is still considered by many as their favourite film of all-time. Sure, there was a half-baked prequel TV series in 1990 starring a pre-Friends Jennifer Aniston and a pre-Diagnosis:...

Le Chef - Movie Review
May 30 2012I've been invited to a few foreign film screenings in the past few months by Icon Films. The previous were mostly dramas and I would say a little bit heavy. Storylines - fantastic of course! Still, sometimes it is nice to sit back, relax and watch a light comedy movie, like Le Chef. A french film by director Daniel Cohen. The stars in this film, you may or may not recognize, there is...

We need to talk about Kevin ... McCallister
January 18 2012I missed seeing "We Need To Talk About Kevin" at the cinemas last year. From all reports Tilda Swinton's performance was extraordinary and she fully deserves her SAG Awards nomination for best actress. However, from the looks of this hilarious new "trailer", Macauley Culkin should have been up for a nod as well. He does evil child well. A little...

And the presenters are …
January 28 2012They say it’s an honour to be nominated, but I think it would also be pretty cool to present an award too. Not that the role comes without its risks and responsibilities. First there's the awkward small talk you may have to make with your co-presenter. There are lines to flub, jokes that may fall flat and embarrassing teleprompter breakdowns to contend with....

Man on a Ledge
January 10 2012We all knew what ‘Cowboys and Aliens’ and ‘Snakes on a Plane’ were going to be about which is why it is no surprise that the latest plot-summed-up-in-a-title film, “Man on a Ledge” gets straight to the point. That’s right – Sam ‘Avatar’ Worthington checks himself into a fine hotel in the middle of Manhattan, pops up to his room with a...
