Read MoreReview – Joker: Folie À Deux – “struggles to say something relevant.”
Back in 2019, the first Joker movie earned Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of the bullied and broken Arthur Fleck before transforming into the Joker. The film was self-contained, but following its massive success a sequel was agreed and here we are. Largely unnecessary and 30 minutes too long, there are some things that Joker: Folie À Deux excels in exploring but the movie feels...

Read MoreReview: I Saw The TV Glow – “like an episode of Stranger Things if filmed by David Lynch.”
Directed by Jane Schoenbrun Starring Justice Smith, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Ian Foreman, Fred Durst, Amber Benson, Helena Howard Owen (played by Ian Foreman as a boy, and Justice Smith when older) is an awkward schoolboy in small-town America in the 1990s – he seems to have no friends, he doesn’t even make eye contact with others (it may be that he has an undiagnosed condition), and home-life...

Read MoreTIFF 2024 Review: Sweet Angel Baby – “the overriding message is still triumphant.”
When you’re a little bit ‘different’ from the rest, you might be apt to hide parts of yourself. This is even more true if you live in a small town where anonymity doesn’t exist. Such is the case for Eliza (Michaela Kurimsky) who has lived all her life in the small coastal town of Rawlin’s Cove. It’s a close-knit place, the kind where she delivers wood to her elderly neighbour and can walk to her...

Read MoreReview: The Hitcher – Limited Edition Dual 4K UHD/Blu-ray – “Worth the wait.”
This has been a long time coming, but Second Sight Films has brought us a brand-new restored 4K version of 1986’s The Hitcher from the original camera negative supervised and approved by director Robert Harmon, set for release on 30 September 2024. The Hitcher was a film that I first became aware of back in the good old days of VHS video tapes. The younger teenage me would pop along to the video...

Read MoreTIFF 2024 Review: Addition – “What starts out as a more typical rom-com does become more serious in the second half”
To Grace Lisa Vandenburg (Teresa Palmer), everything is seen in numbers. There are nineteen letters in her name, for instance. The number of poppy seeds on the cake she orders every day from her local coffee shop dictates the number of bites she must take. At the grocery store, she wants a specific number of items. Just like her stable routine, numbers just make sense to Grace. They are a constant...

Read MoreReview: Place of Bones – “a solid, interesting spin on the Western”
Directed by Audrey Cummings Starring Heather Graham, Brielle Robillard, Tom Hopper, Corin Nemec I’m a sucker for a Western, and it’s not a genre we see so much of these days – it has fallen far from its ruling the box office roost perch of the 1940s and 50s – but every now and then something interesting-looking comes along. In the case of Place of Bones, we get a film very much driven by the...
