Lots of new films this weekend so lets get to it, starting with the rather forgettable but generally watchable Play Dirty. My spoiler free thoughts below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/10/play...

It’s October and spooky season so I am focusing my 2025 Canadian Film Rewatch Project on a genre Canadian film makers excel at: horror. Im starting with one of my all time favourite horror films, Blood Quantum. boxd.it/be4fKF

On this National Day of Truth and Reconciliation I continue my 2025 Canadian Film Rewatch project with a new film, coming to cinemas soon, from the director of Wildhood is the powerful At the Place of Ghosts featuring a beautiful score from Jeremy Duthcer. boxd.it/bdaG2j

I highly recommend you go see Queens of the Dead once it gets its wide release next month. So much camp fun but it also offers something more than that. My spoiler free thoughts below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/09/quee...

Not since The Holdovers has there been such a moving and funny not-Christmassy Christmas movie. The rom-com The Baltimorons is oddly delightful and a must see. My thoughts below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/09/the-...

Below are my thoughts on both of director Richard Linklater's 2025 films: Blue Moon: boxd.it/b7ynS5 Nouvelle Vague boxd.it/baEtPb

Taking a small break from the festival to see some mainstream films. Sadly A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is as disappointing as everyone says. My thoughts below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/09/a-bi...

Only one film at the festival today, but it was a banger. I loved the new adaptation of Kiss of the Spider Woman, mostly because I'm now obsessed with breakout star Tonatiuh! Lopez is stunning too. My thoughts below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/09/kiss...

I took a pause in my film festival schedule to catch a film in mainstream cinemas and I'm going to push back against the critics that are being harsh on this. While not perfect I found Him to be a strong debut by a new film maker with a bold voice. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/09/him-...

This year's Palme d'Or winner at Cannes is well worthy of that award. My thoughts on It Was Just an Accident below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/09/it-w...

A couple days into CIFF and here are my thoughts on some of the films I saw so far. First up Park Chan-wook's latest film, the black comedy No Other Choice. Shout out to the Canadian screenwriter Don McKellar who worked on this film. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/09/no-o...

My go-to Robert Redford comfort movie (also miraculously featuring Poitier, Phoenix, Aykroyd, McDonnell, Stathairn, Kingsley) to honour a great actor, human, and one of the handsomest men to ever light up the silver screen.

Today I am continuing my 2025 Canadian Films Rewatch Project with a double header. Director Sarah Polley's documentary Stories We Tell, and her (deconstruction of) romance Take This Waltz. Stories We Tell: boxd.it/b2gLcr Take This Waltz: boxd.it/b4BmmB

Last night I saw what is easily going to be one of my favourite movies of the year, a film that I left completely shook. Below are my thoughts. I don't get into spoilers until the end with warnings so stop reading there if you haven't seen it yet. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/09/the-...

Summer is ending so I thought I'd continue my 2025 Universal Monsters Rewatch Project with the most summery of the series, Creature From the Black Lagoon. While the other films are shot in moonlight, this one is mostly in the sun. My thoughts below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/09/univ...

... at least we have music this beautiful to listen to as the world crashes and burns ... youtu.be/F9wFhEtjU_g?...

Lurker is one of the more interesting movies I've seen in 2025. It's not the thriller they are selling it as, but a far more fascinating character study featuring a couple of strong performances. My thoughts below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/09/lurk...

It's back to school time so I switched the focus of my 2025 Canadian Film Rewatch Project to the classic sex comedy Porky's. American director Bob Clark came north of the border to make his most iconic films, in a twist on the usual arrangements. boxd.it/aZpqb9

I have mixed feelings about Spike Lee's latest joint which I explain below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/09/high...

While not a "Canadian film", In the Heat of the Night might be the greatest film by Canadian film maker Norman Jewison, one of those directors who left Canada to make his career. I argue it has quite a Canuck perspective below. 2025 Canadian Film Rewatch Project. letterboxd.com/bcollinsmith...

The fourth new film I saw this weekend was my least favourite but I still enjoyed it despite some flaws. My thoughts on The Roses below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/08/the-...

The third new film I saw this weekend was The Toxic Avenger remake which was a whole lot of fun! I highly recommend it. My thoughts below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/08/the-...

The second new movie I saw this weekend is what could be the first Darren Aronofsky movie that I actually enjoyed. He is a film maker whose choices tend not to be ones I find interesting. My thoughts on Caught Stealing below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/08/caug...

Lots of new movies coming out this weekend so let's get started with the first I watched, The Thursday Murder Club may be very standard fare but with this cast who cares? I'm here for it. My thoughts below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/08/the-...

Why when I go to the movies do I always have to explain to my daughter all the straight couples in the film? Can't I just go to a movie and not be bombarded with the heterosexual agenda?

I continue my 2025 Canadian Film Rewatch Project wrapping up my "masters" series, with legendary film maker Denis Arcand, and his award winning (Cannes, Oscars, CSAs) Les Invasions barbares. My favourite film of 2003. boxd.it/aQVUkN

Eenie Meanie didn't quite click for me despite a lot about it I liked. There was also a lot that could have been better. My thoughts below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/08/eeni...

Wrapping up my revisit of my favourite songs of 10 years ago remembering that was the year I first visited Preservation Hall in New Orleans. That's It! captures the incredible energy of that place. youtu.be/i96qlLBW4qA?...

Ne Zha 2, now the highest grossing animated film of all time, is one of those sequels which actually improves on the first film and is definitely worth seeing on the big screen if possible. My thoughts below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/08/ne-z...

As I continue to revisit my favourite songs of 2015 I am reminded that was the year of Sufjan Stevens' Carrie & Lowell. I still love the album but the track John My Beloved remains my sentimental favourite. youtu.be/HuJ32UAlpCk?...

While Night Always Comes appears to be quite divisive, I really enjoyed it, especially as a vehicle for showing off how impressive an actor Vanessa Kirby really is. My thoughts below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/08/nigh...

As I continue to revisit my favourite songs of 10 years ago I remember that 2 of my favourite were named Ghosttown. The second, Adam Lambert's remains a song that catches me each time I hear it. youtu.be/Ix8ocFEMa1o?...

I continue to revisit my favourite songs of 10 years ago which was the year I discovered Sturgill Simpson and his wonderful album Metamodern Sounds in Country Music. His cover of When In Rome's The Promise is incredible and remains my favourite version of the song. youtu.be/-eWJmN8D820?...

Sitting down to watch it now!

All summer I've been continuing my 2025 Universal Monsters rewatch project with the "teamup movies" one of the first examples of the subgenre. I am wrapping that up with Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, one of the releases during the end of the Universal Monsters original era. boxd.it/aDDDFr

10 years ago was when I first discovered Lydia Loveless who became one of my favourite singer/songwriters of the past decade with her brazenness and audacity. My favourite song from her wonderful album Somewhere Else was Wine Lips youtu.be/wzVKssKxcdM?...

Nobody 2 isn't as good as its predecessor but it's still a fun if rather silly movie. My thoughts below. allnewthatmoviesite.blogspot.com/2025/08/nobo...

Continuing revisiting my favourite songs from a decade ago with George Michael's cover of Let Her Down Easy, one of his last singles while he was still with us. His version is beautiful. youtu.be/58hMog3XuuY?...

Continuing my 2025 Canadian Film Rewatch Project with another "master", one of Canada's most successful international film makers, Denis Villeneuve, by rewatching his last Canadian production, the outstanding Enemy. boxd.it/aE9yvZ

Continuing revisiting my favourite songs of 10 years ago with Lady Gaga's Oscar nominated Til It Happens to You, where she gave one of the most powerful performances at the awards. youtu.be/0rufPMisw4o?...

After hearing about how the new War of the Worlds film was the "worst film of the year" I had to see how bad it really was. It's really not that terrible. It's not good either but there are many other films out there that are about on this level. boxd.it/aHiHBn

Continuing to revisit my favourite songs of 10 years ago with Cassandra Wilson's incredible rendition of one of my all time favourites songs, The Way You Look Tonight. Her astounding voice and the song's timeless beauty make for a gorgeous recording. youtu.be/yBcijYD7778?...

Damn Right!! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

I know I'm a little late to the party but I finally checked out KPop Demon Hunters and it's pretty fun if on the sleight side. My thoughts below. boxd.it/aGr3dp
