CORNWALL Ontario – I have to admit I just saw the best movie in a theatre I’ve seen in years and it was right here in Cornwall Ontario at our local Galaxy theatre. Cineplex, the cheap bastards they are, do not provide us with review passes. They suggest contacting individual studios, as if there’s […]
I was just curious how many, if any, people have seen “The Interview?” My wife and I watched it on VOD Saturday night on our local television service provider. I can see why the North Koreans are a “little” upset at Columbia Pictures / Sony Pictures. The North Koreans, for the most part, are not […]
Cornwall Ontario – So I went to our local Galaxy theatre to see Thor: The Dark World. $35 for two adults and one popcorn; without butter. It’s utter insanity and I can clearly see why theatre attendance is not on the rise. I hadn’t seen the first Thor movie and did so […]
CFN – I went to see Man of Steel and it was like playing Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Last winter I was chatting with Matthew Hays who was my editor for the single piece I wrote about the year I wanted to hit Sundance. Matt got me press passes and off I […]
CFN – I desperately wanted to love Gatsby. I really did. So did the mostly female and older audience who sat in the dark theatre with myself and my companion and watched it. No, that’s The Aviator. No, that’s Titanic… Leonardo DiCaprio’s Gatsby is a mix of Jack and Howard with very few redeeming qualities in Baz […]
CFN – Before I talk about this movie I want to talk about a thought to be dead Disney format called ‘Short animations before the actual movie’ and how it was beautiful. Short animations are some of my favourite pieces of entertainment. How they manage to catch your attention so quickly, and hold you there. […]
CFN – I was confused by the appearance of this movie. I could not quite remember the 2006 movie and all I could remember was the girl screaming Silent hill like a psychopath and it sucking. HARD. I hated it, and this was before I had started playing the games. It got me into the games just to know […]
CFN – I had a lot of fun tonight watching Sushi Girl, finally! I sat down with some of the cast, producers, and director Kern Saxton at the Fantasia Film Festival, but tonight I finally got to sit in a dark room and watch Mr. Saxton’s first feature! Sushi Girl is a genre film. […]
CFN – I am always fascinated at the evolution of film making. Being one myself I’ve studied the history of film since its inception. Today more and more movies rely on digital technology for many areas that used to have full artistry. Director Tim Burton has been wrestling with Technology from the 3D effects in […]
CFN – Neverbloomers : the search for Grownuphood premieres tomorrow on the CBC Documentary channel. LINK Sharon Hyman’s first feature length doc is a generational retrospective navel gazing journey. It asks many questions; answers a few; but mostly what drew me to it and kept me watching was the connection I made. As […]
CFN – Goon. The title says it all. Goon follows in the hallowed halls of Slap Shot which is the iconic film on Hockey. You think Hockey flicks, you think Slap Shot. Goon doffs its stick against the boards and builds into something very special. It’s not the most polished film. It […]
CFN – *Sees no preview* *Sees a poster on a wall and has a free movie* *Has an expectation to dislike* Now first you have to really know what I thought I was getting myself into when I went to see this movie. I thought it would be this boring […]
CFN – Shame is a stunningly bleak and hopeless movie. It also is one of the best I’ve seen in the last year with not only stunning writing and direction; but truly magnificent performances by lead Michael Fassbender, Carey Mulligan,and Mr. Fassbender’s Penis. Director Steve McQueen doesn’t sugar coat life. This movie is dark […]
CFN – This movie is dark, distasteful and great. I have not read the books, and as an opening I will also mention that this review shall hold barely a Synopsis. Instead of a detail overview of what happened in this movie I shall give a brief overview. Because I believe the plot of this […]
CFN – Sunday afternoons are such a nice time to go to a movie in the winter. So I paid my nearly $20 for a single seat and small popcorn with butter and settled in with some friends to watch War Horse, the new movie from director Stephen Spielberg. Horses aren’t dogs or even […]
CFN – Well, that looks like a shitty thriller… Invisible things turning people to ash! Sweet! Im going to watch this movie simply to see what the hell are those alien things, then write a review on how shitty it was… Yes… I shall do jut that… *See the movie* Hm, That actually wasn’t that […]
CFN – First off, I enjoyed this movie thoroughly. No matter what I say after this, I really did enjoy this movie a lot. So please keep that in mind, as I try to stay objective in this review of the movie. Rise of the Planet of the Apes, or ROTPOTA’s as I will […]
Cornwall ON – Yes, I actually bought that Signet paperback book as a young un. We had this country place in Cumberland Head NY. Rocky Point community, and while picking up some groceries on a rainy Sunday I grabbed this off the spin rack. Loved that A&P! I was hooked and […]
