The Good, the Bad, and the Let Me See If I Can Even Remember This – Part 1
By Chloë Brett As we move forward into yet another year, it’s time to take a (very belated) look back at 2016 and all the films that came with it. Of the over 200 2016 releases I saw, I’ve narrowed it down to about 40 that I deem worthy of discussion. Though there are...
Dead of Winter (1987)
Canadian winters are so magical and wonderful. Ask any Canadian, we'll tell you, we love the snow and we love traipsing around snowy hills up in the bush with no contact to the outside world. It's great. Especially when creepy blackmail is afoot. Well I mean, we need...

Resident Evil: Apocalypse is Awesome
A guy jumps out of a helicopter firing two guns at zombies. I think about this a lot. Why don't like people love RESIDENT EVIL APOCALYPSE? I've heard people call it cheap fan pandering garbage. They rant and rave that it doesn't have the smooth action of the first one...
The Frustrations of OPERATION MEKONG (2016) – Review
I find Dante Lam the most frustrating director working right now. Every time I watch one of his films I go in with the hope that he's going to deliver something great, something that will rekindle the golden age of classic Hong Kong action cinema, and he's always so...
Resident Evil is Boring
In 2002, it was a big deal for a young Justin Decloux to see RESIDENT EVIL. He was infatuated with the idea of zombie movies, but has never played the RE video games (he doesn't own any systems). He prepares himself for a terrifying experience because he's seen the...
The Neon Demon
Nicolas Winding Refn further solidifies what has become his signature style in a film that is beautiful but frustrating. Elle Fanning plays Jesse, a young up-and-coming model who has just arrived in Los Angeles. Jesse manages to enchant every person she comes across...
Under the Shadow – Review
The more I write about movies, the more it will become obvious just how much I love creepy ghosty horror movies, even though I can’t actually handle them when I have to go to bed and turn off the lights. I am terrified of see-through ghost people staring at me from...
Weird on the Road with MOTORAMA – Review
Motorama is pure fever dream cinema and the kind of film that just doesn't get made anymore: A medium budget David Lynchian road adventure that is equally cock-eyed dark comedy and R rated metaphorical journey that happens to star a kid. It could only exist at a time...
Fist2Fist: 2 Weapon of Choice (2014) – Review
A project has a certain purity when a martial arts teacher stars/writes/produces/choreographs and directs it. Jino Kang does all of those things in his third film FIST 2 FIST: WEAPON OF CHOICE and its undeniably an extension of its creator - stone faced, reserved and...
