DEPARTURES

June 14th, 2009
DEPARTURES is an internationally acclaimed Japanese film that won many honours before taking the best foreign language Oscar at this years Academy Awards. This film is so gorgeous that politics aside and strictly on merit it should have been considered for best picture against what was offered in English as it could have given Slumdog Millionaire a run for its money. Tugging at the heart of t ...

June 8th, 2009

With plans for a bachelor party to end all bachelor parties Doug Billings (Justin Bartha) a groom to be heads to Vegas for one last naughty weekend prior to a lifetime of marital bliss with two of his best buddies - the henpecked dentist Stu Price (Ed Helms) and playboy Phil Wenneck (Bradley Coope ...

Land of the Lost

June 8th, 2009
Land of the Lost is a big screen adaptation of a long ago TV series that was rejuvenated in the early ’90’s. Where it may have a nostalgic aspect for original viewers, as a stand alone movie it’s just plain silly. Will Farrell gambled and lost on this movie playing Dr. Rick Marshall who with much debatable hubris expounds his theory to an incredulous Matt Lauer (in a bad career move) that man ...

Easy Virtue

June 8th, 2009
Easy Virtue is an adaptation of a Noel Coward play that has not been put to celluloid since 1928 under the direction of Alfred Hitchcock. While at that time it would have been a contemporary film, now it’s a period piece. Of note is Colin Firth who no longer seems to be tapped for roles as a lady killer but is cast here in a more mature role although with patience we see that he still has som ...

UP

June 8th, 2009
UP is the latest animated treat from Pixar and their first in 3D (where available). The hysterical trailers have been running for months but no hints of motivation are given for Carl Fredricksen (a fine welcome back for Ed Asner) a grumpy old man using a monstrous battery of helium filled balloons to float his character home in the city on a jungle safari accompanied by an ersatz boy scout na ...

MY LIFE IN RUINS

June 8th, 2009
MY LIFE IN RUINS is a cute double entendre for the disappointing career of a North American educator who unable to get a job in he chosen profession becomes a Greek tour guide. Once again exploring her Hellenic roots is Winnipeg’s lovely Nia Vardalos of My Big Fat Greek Wedding fame here playing Georgia the overqualified tourist wrangler who can barely even hang onto that job. In a gorgeous j ...

EVERY LITTLE STEP

June 8th, 2009
EVERY LITTLE STEP is a more fascinating documentary than you would expect about the audition process for the 2006 restaging on Broadway of A Chorus Line. The show originally opened on a shoe string off Broadway in 1974 and by the time it closed down it was the longest running production ever on the Great White Way and remains in 4th place on that list to this day. That musical which won multi ...
