January. A time for the ceremonial Dumping Of The Crap. The only upside is that the Oscar bait tends to get a wider release, but a lot of those films won’t go wide until the nominations come out at the end of the month, so there’s plenty of room for some of the worst films of 2010. I’m not joking, there are some candidates here for Worst Film Of ( Read more... )

Ah, December. When Oscar comes out to play. Most of the Oscar bait tends to hit in December since it leaves the film fresh in the voter’s mind, but it tends to create a glut of high-profile films around Christmas, where the deadline lies. Oddly, things are a little light this year, with no clear front-runner. No sweeping historical epics or big- ( Read more... )

So I was late with October (really late), my bad. Since November is another monster, I got it done early. The Myans warned us! Humbug! Sparkly vampires! Right, let's move on.

1. 2012 - Nov 13. Let me be clear: I am a HUGE fan of disaster porn, and this looks like the be-all, end-all for the genre. Sure, it's Roland Emmerich, who made The Day ( Read more... )

Well, it took six months, but I'm finally employed again! I've got a six month contract with Rotman School Of Management, part of U of T. It's an interesting position, I'll be assisting in their Executive Programs, where they make custom educational programs for corporate clients. It's a great working environment, and it's right at College & ( Read more... )

Well, this is one late October preview, innit? Not that there's been much to crow about, but here's the month's releases, including all the films already released. All of them are still in theatres, so you can still use this handy-dandy guide for the rest of the month. Remember, Cineplex is offering half-price Tuesdays now, where you get a ticket, ( Read more... )

Ensiferum w/ Blackguard, Ex Deo, and Hypocrisy, Dec 1 at Opera House. No idea on pricing, but it should be cheap.

Hmm... is it time to pop my Viking Metal cherry? Are the support acts any good?

Ah, September. Best known as the dumping grounds for films not worthy of a Summer release. Films that could have been good, but thanks to bad scripts, bad casting, bad producing, and/or bad directing, are released thanks to contractual obligation more than a need to make money. September films rarely open over $30 million, and most will gross ( Read more... )

Skinny Puppy, The Phoenix, Friday November 13. Tix are $32.50, and go on sale Friday at 10AM.

Just in case any of y'all are still fans.

Well, summer's over, nothing left but the dregs, right? WRONG! There's still some great films to come this month, so here's your hype-oriented breakdown for August. This one is mega-sized, since there's currently no less than NINETEEN releases, so obviously a lot of solid films will fall through the cracks. I hope I can put a few good ones on ( Read more... )

So they revealed the official title for the TRON sequel at Comic Con, TRON: LEGACY. I like this a lot better than TR2N or TRON 2.0. They showed a teaser for the film in 3D, but what was super cool was that they recreated Flynn's Arcade, complete with a working version of Space Paranoids, the game Flynn developed. Later in the night, the lights ( Read more... )
