Iron Man 2

May 9th, 2010
Iron Man 2 takes us six months past the original Iron Man where Tony Stark told the world that he is the man in the red and gold suit. Reprising the role is Robert Downey Jr.whose name may be mud in a law court but is pure gold on the silver screen. Hard to imagines it but Stark’s swagger has increased since he’s used the phenomenal exo-suit to bring about world peace. He receives rock star a ...

Please Give

A Nightmare on Elm Street

May 2nd, 2010
A Nightmare on Elm Street is the latest in the Freddy Kruger franchise that spawned eight sequels from 1984 to 2003.

Again the children of guilty parents are haunted in their dream by a bogeyman with razor extensions on his fi ...

To do this Dan is forced to uproot his family from Chicago and move to the sticks to oversee the building of a new ticky tacky neighbourhood. This development requires the deforestation ...

Gunless

May 2nd, 2010
Gunless is the latest big screen outing for Canada’s Paul Gross but unlike last years Passchendaele this one is far more palatable and the gorgeous typography of Osoyoos can rival that of any American duster ever made. Gross plays Sean 'The Montana Kid' Rafferty, a US frontier gunslinger who has just narrowly escaped a lynching only to stumble into an even worse fate, ending up in the Canadia ...

Passenger Side

May 2nd, 2010
Passenger Side is a Canadian road movie but all of the lead actors are American and the action takes place in California. This however doesn’t look like the Golden State we’ve come to see portrayed elsewhere as the backdrops are a succession of deserted desolation as two brothers with mommy issues go on a wild goose chase to find a woman. Michael (Adam Scott) is an author and his older but fr ...
