This Week at The Bloor: 9/26/14
Four powerhouse documentaries play at The Bloor this week (including two of the year's best) alongside a plethora of special events.
The Equalizer Review
The Equalizer is a depressingly dull action thriller told in the most wrongheaded way possible.
The Boxtrolls Review
While it isn't the best film from LAIKA, The Boxtrolls still excellently showcases the animation studio's love for creativity.
Moebius Review
F**k this movie.
Doctor Who Episode 8.5 Recap
"Time Heist" is a Monet of an episode: good from far away, but a mess as soon as you look closer.
20,000 Days on Earth Review
The hard to peg down 20,000 Days on Earth deftly blends artifice and documentary truth in its look at musician Nick Cave.
Believe Me Review
Believe Me is a faith based comedy that succeeds primarily because of all the confidence it has in itself.
Pride Review
Pride is a mash of odd couples and triumphs over oppression that satisfies, but predictable archetypes and glossed-over challenges are a drawback.
The Skeleton Twins Review
Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig give great performances in the otherwise somewhat standard American indie film The Skeleton Twins.
Frontera Review
Frontera is a well acted and constructed overlapping tale of lives coming together in the world of illegal Mexican/American immigration.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Episode 2.1 Recap
Agent Coulson and the crew return, hoping to maintain the momentum from the impressive final arc of its first season.
Gotham Episode 1.1 Recap
Jack Nicholson's Joker said it best: "This town needs an enema."
This Week at The Bloor: 9/19/14
The documentary Code Black looks inside on of the busiest hospitals (and bureaucracies) in the world.
A Walk Among the Tombstones Review
A Walk Among the Tombstones is a better class of nasty thriller and a better class of "Liam Neeson being a badass" film.
The Maze Runner Review
The Maze Runner is the worst, most cynical, and most morally suspect young adult adaptation ever created.
