The Top 10 Films of 2017

The frustrations of living in a small market like Halifax is not having the opportunity to see much-buzzed about late-in-the-year feature films until January.  Last year it was 20th Century Women, a film that arrived in cinemas in mid-January that would've certainly been on my 2016 list. So, due to my not having seen them… Read More

Here are a cross-section of a number of mildly-to- solidly recommended films recently made available on Canadian Netflix.

I may to add a couple more to the list if Anomalisa and 45 Days are as good as… Read More

In Cinemas: August 21, 2015 — The Diary Of A Teenage Girl, American Ultra, Hitman: Agent 47, Sinister 2

An unusual late-summer arrival, The Diary Of A Teenage Girl really impressed me, especially when you consider it's the work of a first-time feature filmmaker. The story of a 15-year-old's dangerous liaison with her mother's boyfriend is terrific stuff. Here's my full review. American Ultra looks like a light spoof of The Bourne Identity, where the amnesiac agent… Read More
