Cornwall Ontario – Is there anything cooler than going to an 80’s vintage ratty theatre that has a full house with a chick from Maine who’s really hot and has lovely inner thighs? Well there is. Normally I’d write a review of IT, but sadly Cineplex Galaxy here in Cornwall doesn’t throw a bone… Continue reading IT Gets More Laughs Than Screams & Why Cineplex Is Failing by Jamie Gilcig 091217

The Imitation Game Review by Jamie Gilcig in Cornwall Ontario 5 Bags of Popcorn JAN 26, 2015
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… Continue reading The Imitation Game Review by Jamie Gilcig in Cornwall Ontario 5 Bags of Popcorn JAN 26, 2015
Letter to the Editor – The Interview by William Hopkinson JAN 20, 2015
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… Continue reading Letter to the Editor – The Interview by William Hopkinson JAN 20, 2015
Thor The Dark World Review by Jamie Gilcig – Needs More Kat Dennings! 3/5 Bags of Corn!
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… Continue reading Thor The Dark World Review by Jamie Gilcig – Needs More Kat Dennings! 3/5 Bags of Corn!
My Man of Steel Review Brings Back My Flora Plum Jodie Foster Stephen Spielberg & Stuart Sender Memories, by Jamie Gilcig
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… Continue reading My Man of Steel Review Brings Back My Flora Plum Jodie Foster Stephen Spielberg & Stuart Sender Memories, by Jamie Gilcig
Gatsby Review by Jamie Gilcig – Mix Jack & Howard you get DiCaprio’s Gatsby – 2 out of 5 bags of corn!
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… Continue reading Gatsby Review by Jamie Gilcig – Mix Jack & Howard you get DiCaprio’s Gatsby – 2 out of 5 bags of corn!
Wreck it Ralph Review by Liam Morgan Sinclair-Dempster – November 9, 2012
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.… Continue reading Wreck it Ralph Review by Liam Morgan Sinclair-Dempster – November 9, 2012
Silent Hill Revelation Review by Liam Morgan Sinclair-Dempster – November 2, 2012
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… Continue reading Silent Hill Revelation Review by Liam Morgan Sinclair-Dempster – November 2, 2012

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.… Continue reading Kern Saxton’s Sushi Girl Hits the Mark – Genre Hit Review by Jamie Gilcig – Tony Todd, Mark Hamill, Noah Hathway Shine!
Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows Delivers – Eva Green Steals Show in Johnny Depp Remake REVIEW by Jamie Gilcig.
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… Continue reading Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows Delivers – Eva Green Steals Show in Johnny Depp Remake REVIEW by Jamie Gilcig.
Neverbloomers: The Search for Grownuphood on CBC Documentary Channel – Monday February 27, 2012 8PM EST
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… Continue reading Neverbloomers: The Search for Grownuphood on CBC Documentary Channel – Monday February 27, 2012 8PM EST
3 Guys, 4 Teeth, GOON Scores Big! Movie Review by Jamie Gilcig Liev Schreiber Award Worthy!
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… Continue reading 3 Guys, 4 Teeth, GOON Scores Big! Movie Review by Jamie Gilcig Liev Schreiber Award Worthy!
My Week with Marilyn – Review by Liam Morgan Sinclair-Dempster – February 2, 2012
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… Continue reading My Week with Marilyn – Review by Liam Morgan Sinclair-Dempster – February 2, 2012
SHAME Fassbender & Mulligan Stunning – Movie Review by Jamie Gilcig – January 29, 2012
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… Continue reading SHAME Fassbender & Mulligan Stunning – Movie Review by Jamie Gilcig – January 29, 2012
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo – Movie Review by Liam Morgan Sinclair-Dempster – Cornwall Ontario – Jan 16, 2012
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… Continue reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo – Movie Review by Liam Morgan Sinclair-Dempster – Cornwall Ontario – Jan 16, 2012
Stephen Spielberg’s War Horse – One Trick Pony, but an awfully nice trick – Movie Review by Jamie Gilcig
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… Continue reading Stephen Spielberg’s War Horse – One Trick Pony, but an awfully nice trick – Movie Review by Jamie Gilcig

Rise of the Planet of the Apes – Review by Liam Morgan Sinclair-Dempster – January 2, 2012
CFN – First off, I enjoyed this movie thoroughly. No matter what I say after this, I really did enjoy this movie a lot.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes, or ROTPOTA’s as I will… Continue reading Rise of the Planet of the Apes – Review by Liam Morgan Sinclair-Dempster – January 2, 2012
