As Above/So Below Review
As Above/So Below isn’t even as scary as a Halloween funhouse constructed by ten year olds.
Home Entertainment Review: Filth
Filth (Jon S. Baird, 2014) – It’s possible that Irvine Welsh’s novel Filth might have been unfilmable, but that certainly didn’t stop writer and director Jon S. Baird from trying. It’s an admirable attempt to encapsulate a decent into abject madness and abasement at the hands of one of Welsh’s most memorably misanthropic creations, if it’s not […]
Interview: Cody Hackman and Krzysztof Soszynski
We talk to professional fighters turned actors Cody Hackman and Krzysztof Soszynski about working together on the MMA drama Tapped Out, what’s important to them as professionals when they watch a film about fighting, why film and sports fans love fighting movies, and their experiences as actors.
Filth Review
Despite some good moments and an exceptional high wire performance from James McAvoy in the lead, the Irvine Welsh adaptation Filth is too scattershot to succeed.
Stage Fright Review
Despite having the somewhat inspired idea of melding the 80s slasher genre with the 70s big screen rock opera, Stage Fright (which arrives in select theatres and on VOD today) is a much easier film to admire than it is to actually like.
Son of God Review
As far as religious retellings go Son of God is a mostly passable highlight reel of the New Testament that should largely please the faithful and not bore the unconverted or disinterested to tears.

ParaNorman Review
From top to bottom, ParaNorman is a little genre gem for longtime fans and pint-sized newcomers. This is an animated film that refuses to talk down to children, packs in more entertainment value than should be legally allowed, and actually has something to say to the impressionable viewers.
Sorcery Review
Sorcery for the PlayStation Move offers a truly one-of-a-kind gameplay experience. The game isn’t big on features and content but it offers something that few motion based games have: unique, fast-paced, and responsive gameplay.
Dyad Preview
With its pulsing palette of neon streaks of light and adaptive soft-techno soundtrack, Shawn McGrath’s Dyad looks a little out-of-place when compared to other Sony offerings such as Starhawk or Resistance: Burning Skies. But its unique flavour and psychedelic presentation are exactly what makes it stand out from the crowd.
