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 […]
Cornwall ON – I’ve been watching Woody Allen films for an awfully long time. Midnight in Paris is his highest grossing film ever. It’s light. It’s charming. Is it filling and satisfying? Yes…and no…My favorite Allen film is The Purple Rose of Cairo and there’s a common theme that’s hammered […]
Cornwall ON – To some John Wayne purists making a remake of True Grit is sacrilege. Even today the Duke still is a huge presence in our culture and film history. The Coen Brothers didn’t so much as do a remake of True Grit any more than Baz Lurhman’s Romeo & Juliet was a remake […]
Cornwall ON – It’s rare now that I ever get any time off. It’s election season – Christmas is coming up, and we’re growing way too fast for me and my little elves to keep up with what’s going on around locally, nationally or in the world! I decided to take the afternoon off and […]
Cornwall ON- My expectations for this film were huge. You have a director known for his visionary prowess teamed up with some amazing talent. Johnny Depp, Scottish accent and all was superb. Helena Bonham Carter and the amazing Crispin Glover show why it’s always more fun to play the villians, and even Anne […]

I really like James Cameron. For one he’s from Canada, and for two I think he honestly understands an awful lot about why people like to go to the movies. He’s taken a long break from feature film making since Titanic. A very long time. Avatar is his biggie. It’d be near […]
So I went to see “The Men That Stare At Goats” . I was expecting a Coen’esque trip and wasn’t let down. Part “Big Lebowski” part “Dr. Strangelove”; this flick isn’t Oscar worthy, but the cast make it worthwhile. Jeff Bridges, Ewan MacGregor, George Clooney, and Kevin Spacey in one of his campiest roles, made […]
