Going back in time once again and re-posting a Top Five. When you start flipping channels and find an endless array of horror movies on TV you can tell that Halloween is coming. When I was a kid it was a time to hike a few blocks toward the rich neighbourhood and hope to score…
Orange Crush
I do hope you’ll excuse my phoning one in, but it’s been a rough few weeks, and I find myself a tad uninspired this week. While I will be putting up two or even three new reviews over the weekend, I can’t shake the feeling that there’s a lot of time between now and then.…

Autumn’s Here
So now that the endless waiting in line and sleep deprivation that is The Toronto International Film Festival is behind me, it’s time to look forward towards the rest of what the movies have to offer. Like many of you, I find the fall to be the best time to be in a multiplex. It’s…
