September 14, 2017 flawintheiris

September is here, and so is the AFF, or FIN, or AIFF. Whatever you call it, the local film festival is a bonanza for the Haligonian film lover, a chance to see local, Canadian, and international features and shorts, many of which won't ever find their way to a big screen near you. Last weekend…Read More

Something weird is going on at Cineplex this week. Good, but weird. La La Land is opening at Park Lane for the first time since it arrived in cinemas (at Bayers Lake) on Christmas Day. I'm assuming this is because of an expected glut of Oscar nominations (they are announced on Tuesday, January 24), but…Read More

December 16, 2016 flawintheiris

Went to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story at its first Halifax screening on Thursday night. I was pretty psyched—I've been a fan of Star Wars since I saw the first movie at seven years old. Since then I've become a film blogger—obviously—and I've also written and talked about movies professionally, as the former Film…Read More

Atlantic Film Festival 2016 Preview

September 15, 2016 flawintheiris

Here we are again, that moment in September when Halifax goes movie crazy. I've been attending The Atlantic Film Festival since 2003.

Just in case you were wondering where I'm putting my efforts these days aside from this space, here's an update: Living film encyclopedia Stephen Cooke and I are back hard at work on LENS ME YOUR EARS, our podcast. We took an unofficial hiatus for part of this year, but have now landed again. This…Read More

August 6, 2016 flawintheiris

On Friday morning the good people at CTV Morning Live Atlantic had me on again to talk movies. The lovely Heidi Petracek was away this week—getting married, congrats Heidi!—so I had the pleasure of chatting with Kelly Linehan about Suicide Squad, Jason Bourne, Star Trek Beyond, and Café Society, with a look ahead to next week…Read More
