John Wick Chapter 4
The man of a million headshots is back. Keanu Reeves puts on his fashionable Kevlar suit in John Wick Chapter 4. Is it worth seeing? I didn’t remember the end of John Wick Chapter 3, so I didn’t know what was happening at the start of John Wick Chapter 4. But that didn’t really matter…

The Top 10 Films of 2022
We’re doing 2022’s Best of Film coverage differently this year; instead of a large panel of friends and critics, Craig Silliphant gives us his top 10 movies of 2022. In past years, we assembled a crack team of movie-loving friends, industry people, and professional critics to each talk about their best and worst movies of…

Richard Gary’s ‘Favorite’ and ‘Not Favorite’ DIY Horror Films of 2022
Every year, writer and DIY horror lover Richard Gary gives us his ‘Favourite’ and ‘Not Favourite’ microbudget horror and genre picks. Here’s his 2022 list!

The Fabelmans
Steven Spielberg and Tony Kushner bring Spielberg’s origins to life in this semi-autobiographical look at the filmmaker’s early years when he learned to make movies. While his sensibilities may be too mainstream Hollywood for some film nerds to worship, I submit that Steven Spielberg is one of film history’s greatest treasures. Perhaps I was imprinted…

Smile – 4K UHD Blu ray Review
Smile was a runaway horror hit of 2022 (and worth a watch – creepy and effective!). We look at the 4K UHD blu ray release. The biggest horror success of 2022 was Smile, which opened at #1 and even managed to out-gross the last stand of Michael Myers himself. The shape of the Halloween horror…

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever continues the story of Wakanda, now a nation without it’s king and protector. But did the movie succeed without Chadwick Boseman? It’s hard to overstate the importance of Marvel’s first Black Panther movie, if not as a film itself, as piece of culture that allowed black people to finally see themselves…

The Greatest Beer Run Ever (2022)
Finally, a movie title that lives up to its name. Ridiculous, improbable and true but limited in perspective, The Greatest Beer Run Ever still provides 2 hours of entertaining story. Oh good. Another “based on true story” movie. I’ve been duped so many times in the past by wild fiction posing as historical events that…

Blonde
Blonde is either the most feminist movie of the year — or the most misogynist. One thing’s for sure, it’s a feat of brilliant filmmaking. DISCLAIMER: Before we launch in here, I should point out this movie, about the inner turmoil of a woman, was made by a man. And that I am a man…

Anvil! The Story of Anvil! Restored and Returning Again
One of the better music documentaries out there, about metal band Anvil (Canada’s answer to Spinal Tap) is getting a re-release. It’s definitely worth seeing. I will be honest with you: when the film was first released in 2009, I didn’t see it. I was in the process of moving to Canada by sheer coincidence,…
