Cosmopolis Review

While a challenging film for average viewers to get involved with David Cronenberg's big screen adaptation of Don DeLillo's Cosmopolis holds a lot to like for attentive viewers with great acting and dialogue, but very little of Cronenberg's own personality in favour of focusing on DeLillo's.

Interview: Kevin Durand

We talked to Canadian character actor Kevin Durand about his latest role as a bank robber in the historical drama Edwin Boyd: Citizen Gangster, what it's like to play a lot of character driven roles, and about being able to adapt to filming in Sault Ste.
