I Put a Hit on You Review
A pair of likable and believable leading performances make the Canadian indie comedy I Put a Hit on You worth a watch.
Interview: Daniel Radcliffe
We chat with Daniel Radcliffe about his new film The F Word, co-star Zoe Kazan, not wearing capes, and love as an excuse for sociopathy.
The F Word Review
The F Word is a rich, thoughtful, and purposefully problematic romance that hasn’t really been attempted or nailed this well since When Harry Met Sally.
Interview: Emmanuel Shirinian
We talk to Emmanuel Shirinian, director of the Canadian black comedy It Was You Charlie about his film's unlikable character, creating a time shifting narrative, his influences, and creating a different kind of brotherly dynamic.

Shorts Weather
Beat the heat with some shorts as the Shorts That Are Not Pants screening series returns to the Carlton in Toronto this Thursday.
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.
CONTEST: Win RHYMES FOR YOUNG GHOULS on DVD!
Enter for a chance to win a copy of one of the best Canadian films of the year, Rhymes for Young Ghouls, on DVD, courtesy of Dork Shelf, eOne Films, and CFC Features.
Films in Brief: 4/18/14
It’s been a busy week with all of us gearing up for our massive Hot Docs coverage, but here’s a look at what else is playing on local screens this week that we haven’t gotten around to reviewing yet, including the Disneynature documentary Bears, the romantic drama The Face of Love, the Canadian teen road flick Hold Fast, the psychological thriller Stress Position, the literary minded Meetings with a Young Poet, and the ballet documentary Afternoon of a Faun: Tanaquil Le Clercq.
Algonquin Review
The Canadian indie drama Algonquin is a perfect example of a rare kind of film: the kind of idea that sounds terrible on paper or in a pitch, but one that works just fine in practice.
Interview: Jonathan Hayes
We talk to Jonathan Hayes, director of the Canadian drama Algonquin about the clashing egos within his film's characters, the concept of denial and distance within families, and how his film is now related directly to the work of Casablanca director Michael Curtiz.
