The Invention of Lying

October 3rd, 2009
The Invention of Lying written by and starring Ricky Gervais, takes us to a parallel world that looks suspiciously like any town USA (right down to the green backed legal tender) where telling anything but the truth is inconceivable. As a matter of fact being brutally honest overtakes every conversation so instead of polite banter people say exactly what is on their minds and then some. This ...

Surrogates

September 27th, 2009
Surrogates takes us into the future where although the automobiles have a 2009 streamline the drivers are definitely a throwback to a younger day. In this world crime and violence have gone the way of polio thanks to the technical expertise of a robotics company that provides everyone with a younger, more vivacious copy of themselves through which they can live vicariously from the comfort of ...

Pandorum

September 27th, 2009
Pandorum is a mental malady undefined in the dictionary that is like cabin fever to the power of ten where despair brought on by isolation causes violent psychosis. There are hints of it aboard a hulking space ship adrift in the firmament but for the most part that’s a latent defect and the current patent problems are clearly more dangerous. It’s centuries in the future and with the earth pop ...

Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day

September 27th, 2009
Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day brings to an end one of the longest fake documentary shoots ever. After the 6 year run of the well received maritime comedy came to an end in 2008 this big screen extrapolation is probably the last time up for Ricky (Robb Wells), Julian (John Paul Tremblay) and Bubbles (Mike Smith). As usual this one starts with the trio making parole but with differ ...

9

September 13th, 2009
9 is the latest easy to take full length animated creep out produced by Tim Burton. This is a new take on a post apocalyptic world which started as a film school project for Shane Acker that not only got him an “A” but also an Oscar nomination for “best animated short” in 2006. In one of the few animated features to be release with a PG 13 rating, 9 (Elijah Wood) is the number on the back of ...

Whiteout

September 13th, 2009
Whiteout has Manitoba subbing for the sub-continent of Antarctica where there are a litany of ways to die in the cold – and that’s just in the summer! That said, not many stay over the winter but a multiple murder mystery is threatening six months of darkness for a US Marshal named Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale) along with her pal Dr. John Fury (Tom Skerritt) and Robert Pryce (Gabriel Macht) ...

Gamer

September 7th, 2009
Gamer is a fresh take on the fantasy of a brutal, hedonistic future. Gerard Butler plays Kable, one of many human participants in an interactive on line shooting gallery called Slayers. With brain cells altered via nano technology their every move is controlled by a gamer and in Kable’s case it’s Simon (Logan Lerman), a 16 year old video whiz and pay-per-view superstar. So why would Kable or ...

Taking Woodstock

August 28th, 2009
Taking Woodstock is based on the book by Elliot Tiber which claims that the iconic music and arts festival in upstate New York in August of 1969 almost didn’t take place for lack of a one dollar permit. As per the book Tiber calls himself Elliot Teichberg (Demetri Martin) an ambitious but quite young town councillor in Bethel New York who already had the required permission slip and invited p ...

Lorna's Silence

August 28th, 2009
Lorna's Silence is a dreary story of intrigue from Belgium. Lorna (Arta Dobroshi) works at a laundry but her home life is not nearly so mundane. For starters she has an associate named Fabio (Fabrizio Rongione) who acts like a pimp and whose vocation as a taxi driver is clearly a front. She dreams of opening a café with her boyfriend Sokol(Alban Ukaj) who is sweet enough when he’s not talking ...
