Review of CJ7
Kids-Film HustleI love Stephen Chow. That's part of the reason for the three stars above. CJ7 is not a good film. Not by any stretch. It is however a very very weird one, and that counts for something. CJ7 tells the story of an impoverished father and young son at odds ... read morePosted on 03/15/2008 by Jeff. Review of Doomsday
Fine Young CannibalsYou know how sometimes movies are released with titles that aren't really their titles overseas on the bootleg VCD market? A film involving a shark will be called DEEP BLUE SEA 2, or random Eugene Levy sex comedy (let's just pretend there are a lot of them, okay?) will be ... read morePosted on 03/15/2008 by Jeff. Review of The Mist
Darabont hasn't the foggiest...Massive trees are blown through windows, onto cars, and boathouses when a huge storm hits one night. The next day people are a little on edge, and stocking up on supplies at the local supermarket just in case there's a hurricaine on the horizon. A man runs in screaming with ... read morePosted on 03/10/2008 by Jeff. 
Review of Southland Tales
Southland SnailsRichard Kelly's follow-up to Donnie Darko came and went from theatres with little to no fanfare in the US, and didn't even get a theatrical release in Canada. With a wildly bizarre cast that includes the likes of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sean William Scott, Justin Timberlake, ... read morePosted on 03/09/2008 by Jeff. 
Review of Death Game

The kids are visiting their grandparents out of town, when one of them gets sick and wants his mommy. So Mom goes, ... read morePosted on 02/13/2008 by Jeff.

UndertowI just watched "Undertow" by David Gordon Green the other night, and while it loses a lot of steam in the second half (albeit intentionally)... What a movie! From what I can gather, it flew pretty low below a lot of people's radars, and that's a shame. Imagine "Night of ... read morePosted on 12/25/2007 by Jeff. ANOTHER post about Christmas movies?Christmas movies, Christmas movies, Christmas movies. Everyone writes about them around Christmas, but I really don't mind it. There's something different about pieces on Christmas movies. Something that sets them apart from the lists of horror films that are written every Halloween. We've probably seen most of the movies in ... read morePosted on 12/19/2007 by Jeff. How Soon is Chow?How exciting is the forming trend of releasing Asian films in North America within a few months of their domestic releases? Sure, "D-War" and "Exiled" didn't make it to Canadian theatres, and "Midnight Eagle" is only playing NY and LA, but it was just announced that "CJ7 - A Hope", ... read morePosted on 12/07/2007 by Jeff.
