VIFF 2008 Review: Rachel Getting Married
A
magnificently acted film, Jonathan
Demme's latest directorial work is both original
and exceptional (he also directed Silence of the
Lambs). The film possesses many layers and
themes, but there ...
VIFF 2008 Preview: Valentines
John
Bolton sent us a note informing us of a short-flick

...VIFF 2008 Review: Stone of Destiny
Many films in cinematic
history have been based on a romanticized heist. Some
are shite. The Bank Job was
one that I was forced to watch on a plane ride back

Long Road North - Rolling Through the Hemispheres on Two Wheels
I suspect we can all relate
to the feeling Gwendal Castellan had while at work in a
windowless office a few years ago: a longing for
something new, a change of pace, maybe a jolt to break
free from a ...
Uwe Boll in Vancouver: A 'Postal' Review
I'll come right out and say
it: I'd never seen a film of Uwe Boll's. The German
director's career took off (for better or worse) with
House of
the Dead, an '03 adaptation of the 90s light-gun
arcade ...
Keep It 4REAL This Summer.
First of all, let me
point out that no, I have not recently adopted the use
of Internet Slang nor am I so lazy that
I cannot type out 3 letters. I'm going to give the
benefit of the doubt here and ...
This Week in Film: May 9 2008
I love a good David Mamet movie. His dialogue and plot twists are always top-notch, putting his signature speech patterns on every character he writes. Witness The Untouchables or Glengarry

This Week in Film: March 28th 2008
Before we move onto the films playing this week, I must urge every filmgoer to see The Counterfeiters, which is still playing at Tinseltown. I saw it last weekend and it's incredible. Telling the
