Another contender for Worst Movie of the Year....

A trippy, eccentric sci-fi film, more thought-provoking than entertaining, that eschews easy tropes to deliver upon its urgent message as clearly as possible. My review of Signal One for @spectrumculture.bsky.social.

Hey Bluesky! I’m casting a show for TVO (hey that rhymes) and I’d love your help spreading the word. Do you know an Ontario or Quebec teen who might be interested in learning wilderness survival skills and being on TV?

This book will get you out of a reading slump! #booksky📚💙

One wishes there was something a touch more substantial in Milagros Mumenthaler’s latest film, but seeing something as bold as The Currents can be a rare pleasure.

The man, the myth, the legend.

On 1985’s Hell Awaits, Slayer transcended their influences to become the most ferocious of thrash metal’s big four. For its 40th birthday it’s been smartened up and paired with a superb contemporary live performance, reopening once again the debate of which is the greatest thrash album of the ‘80s.

how is the Bloodsport soundtrack so good

You will not believe where this goes, starts like a YouTuber Nathan For You helping a family get stolen Legos back hilariously fighting against corporate evil then explodes into a full blown season of Reacher exposing collusion between corrupt local cops & thug businessmen in cults & it’s all real.

Kubrick wanted to make a horror movie and was considering her 1974 novel The Shadow Knows but it finally came down to a choice between that and the best-selling King novel in 1977, and he split the difference by choosing her to work with him on The Shining project

Jude Law is great. Paul Dano is miscast. My review of The Wizard of the Kremlin for @spectrumculture.bsky.social.

Herbie Hancock showing Quincy Jones how to use the Fairlight CMI synthesizer - one of the first commercially available digital samplers Herbie was an early adopter, using the $80,000 machine to compose and arrange, "Rockit," his classic work of early hip-hop/electro/jazz fusion.

Holy F****ck that show was dope!

Blue Film is a low-budget chamber piece that fearlessly explores the transformative effects of shame and loneliness, with a raw style that harkens back to the independent films of the ‘90s. My review for @spectrumculture.bsky.social.

Hokum is a neat, constrained horror feature and a perfect showcase of McCarthy’s strengths; however, like in his previous film Oddity, he doesn’t quite know how to nail the ending.

Spiderman/Superman #1 is my favorite of the recent cross-overs so far. Two of the stories got me all misty-eyed!

Chandler Levack's MILE END KICKS earned strong $230K at Canadian box office last week, projected to hit $450K in theatrical run here. Top-performing theatres included Montreal's Cinema du Parc and Cineplex Forum, Ottawa's ByTowne. Context: most Cdn films would be lucky to crack $100K at box office.

With a great script that shows restraint through a series of well-edited vignettes, Vargas has made a surprising – and stellar – debut.

BLUE HERON by Sophy Romvari is a beautiful, tender, and ultimately daring act of cinematic time travel. One of the strongest feature directorial debuts in ages – and excellent conversation-starter on role of Telefilm and other Canadian arts funding agencies. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/film...

The new Tricky is, as the kids say, FIRE.
