When a romantic comedy movie can manage to excite, entertain and endear itself to you all in the span of 120 minutes, it’s something to be admired. I don’t think a movie has spoken to me like this one in a long time, and it managed to be entirely adorable all the while. This Amazon…

Since Liam Neeson started an unlikely career resurgence as a gruff-voiced action star in 2008’s Taken, it seems he’s impossible to slow down. It was novel at first, but watching an elderly man beat up stuntmen has officially grown tired. A one-time Oscar nominee, Neeson a splendid performer – as evidenced in Martin Scorcese’s under-appreciated…

Oscar nominations were announced this morning, and as always, they went their own way. It’s not surprising that the Best Picture nominees are, once again, out of step with the top box-office performers. The general public doesn’t know anything about Drive My Car, Belfast, Licorice Pizza or CODA, and King Richard bombed, despite fantastic reviews.…

I’m not going to sit here and tell you Book Of Love is some romantic masterpiece. It’s shallow, a little bit silly, and you’re going to have to suspend disbelief. That said, with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, everyone will be looking for some entertainment to put a smile on their face. This one…

The New York Police Department was thrown for an absolute loop upon the revelation in 2014 that a retired cop was a criminal before the academy. Corey Pegues – who rose through the ranks to become a Deputy Inspector in the NYPD – had no prior convictions when he decided to turn his life around.…

From the beginning, it becomes clear that The Long Night aspires to be more than just jump scares and shallow tricks. Rich Ragsdale – an accomplished music video director and writer – takes the helm here, and creates an intriguing horror film. It’s well-wrought and shocking, even if it doesn’t always hit the mark. Writers…

For as long as I can remember, I’ve looked up to Kevin Smith. Not because he’s some Oscar-winning scribe or hugely successful director, but because, in the immortal words of Sinatra, he did it his way. His scrappy, $27,000 film about convenience store workers made while he was a convenience store worker became an indie…

A thriller with a verve and incredible storytelling, Escape From Mogadishu is truly satisfying endeavour. Half political-thriller, half good-old-fashion running-from-danger actioner, it’s a movie North American production companies do 10 times a year, to mostly mediocre results. But with Mogadishu, filmmaker Seung-wan Ryu – aided by a smart script co-written by Ki-cheol Lee – this…

King Richard plays at the Al Whittle Theatre in Wolfville, N.S. on Sunday, January 30, 2022. Support local, and go see it on the big screen. It’s hard to believe, but Will Smith has never been better than he is in King Richard. As the hard-knocks, intense father of real-life tennis superstars Venus & Serena…

It’s been 20 years since the original Ice Age hit theatres and delighted parents and kids alike. Throughout the decades, it’s remained part of the pop culture zeitgeist, and has no spawned a sixth franchise film. While there were undoubtedly things to enjoy in this continuation of the exploits of all our furry friends in…
