 Defendor has Woody Harrelson again playing an off kilter, borderline certifiable character that is under arrest and ordered into psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Park (Sometimes Vancouverite Sandra Oh) because he vandalized a dry cleaner.

The Wolfman is not an homage to Bob Smith, the universally known DJ from the mid 20th century who also adopted the last name Jack.  It is an homage of sorts though to an iconic horror figure from roughly that same era. Benicio Del Toro is Lawrence Talbot who in 1891 is summoned home to the English country estate of his estranged father Sir John Talbot (Anthony Hopkins) by Gwen Conliffe (Emily ...

Love and Savagery is a starkly beautiful Canadian production filmed on the coast of Ireland. Michael (Allan Hawco) is a part time Newfoundland poet who in 1969 exchanged one rock for another, heading to Ireland to follow his passion.

Dear John is the cliché opening salvo of a letter to a soldier in uniform but not in country with heartbreaking news from a sweetheart back home saying that the relationship is over. This seems hardly likely with crazy-mad-for-each-other John Tyree (Channing Tatum and Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried) who meet on the shores of South Carolina in the summer of 2001. He’s back home on surfing R& ...

Saint John of Las Vegas has Steve Buscemi’s grill all up in your grill for a full 85 minutes. That much orthodontic neglect might be a little too repulsive if he weren’t such a wonderful performer and the peripheral cast only further enhances this smart but dark comedy. Buscemi is John, a compulsive gambler whose luck ran out in Vegas so he blew town, not stopping until he ran out of gas whic ...

Edge of Darkness takes us very close to the edge of dumbness in the first five minutes when Emma Craven (Bojana Novakovic) gets ripped open by a sawed off shotgun even though her assassin is aware that she’s been terminally poisoned. Her murder cuts short an already too infrequent visit to her father’s home in Boston. He is Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson), a Bean town cop – untouched by any double ...

The Last Station is a rich insight into the final year of one of the worlds most celebrated authors. War and Peace and Anna Karenina were written by Leo Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer) but who knew that  the end his own life was an epic drama. Already an adored aristocrat writer living in pre-Bolshevik Russia he none the less embraces communist ideals setting up a “hippie” like commune in Telya ...

High Life is set in 1983, the year of the automatic teller machine, a revolution in banking and an easy target for four career criminals except for one thing – they only have one brain among them. That belongs to Dick (Timothy Olyphant) who seems only mildly psychopathic compared to his former cell mate Bug (Stephen Eric McIntyre). Bug got Dick fired from his janitor job at the hospital which ...
