Tammy Review
Melissa McCarthy’s first project as producer, writer, and star will most likely flop, but it’s not the abysmal failure than its curiously quiet dumping over the Fourth of July holiday in the States would suggest.
Deliver Us from Evil Review
While the validity of the “true story” at the heart of Scott Derrickson’s Deliver Us from Evil can be hotly debated and contested, the film itself is a masterful work of modern horror and one of a very small handful of scary movies to be actually unsettling and terrifying.
Earth to Echo Review
The first person footage stylings of the family adventure Earth to Echo certainly aren’t covering any uncharted territory, but it’s still one of the most pleasant surprises of the summer thus far: an unpretentious Amblin Entertainment styled throwback to the 1980s told in a filmmaking style that has similarly gone out of style despite barely being over a decade old.
The Pin Review
A powerful and emotionally draining look at young Jews on the run during World War II, Naomi Jaye’s The Pin has become not only buzzworthy around the world where it has been garnering raves, but also here at home for being the only Canadian produced Yiddish film.
Me and You Review
The latest from master director Bernardo Bertolucci might be his last film, and sadly it's a bit of a disappointment.
This Week at The Bloor: 6/27/14
This week at The Bloor, The Case Against 8 takes a heartfelt and intricate look at a hot button issue, while The Internet's Own Boy stumbles in the exact opposite way.
Transformers: Age of Extinction Review
Michael Bay has done it again! And by "done it again," I mean "made a worse movie than Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen".
They Came Together Review
While it certainly won't be to everyone's liking since the comedic stylings of David Wain and Michael Showalter are an acquired taste, our film editor thinks They Came Together is one of the finest skewerings of romantic comedies ever made.
Eisner Watch: Watson and Holmes
Watson and Holmes may be the underdog of the Best New Series category, but Heather isn't foolish enough to overlook it and neither should you.
i hate myself :) Review
You’ve never seen a documentary like Joanna Arnow's i hate myself : ) (screening Wednesday at Camera as part of the MDFF and Seventh Art screening series), and it’s so singular, original, and painful that you’ll likely never see one like it again.

Orphan Black Episode 2.10 Recap
Orphan Black closes out its triumphant second season with the jam packed and thoroughly fantastic "By Means Which Have Never Yet Been Tried." In a related sentiment, HOLY SHIT.

Obvious Child Review
A major star vehicle for comic actor Jenny Slate, the purposefully awkward and thoroughly charming Obvious Child deals head on with how seemingly well adjusted adults still have a lot of growing up to do after they think they’re done with life lessons.
Blood Glacier Review
Having debuted under the much more appropriate title of The Station at TIFF last year, Blood Glacier is a strong, well paced, and low key creature feature with a title that does the film few favours.
