Interview: Pat Healy
We chat with beloved character actor and Cheap Thrills star Pat Healy about being a part of so many memorable filmgoing experiences, what appeals to him about characters who can never do the right thing, and why the uncomfortable shoot for Cheap Thrills made the film’s tension far more palpable.

No Clue Review
It was only a matter of time before Canadian TV star and stand-up comic Brent Butt would make the jump to the big screen, but while the bumbling gumshoe comedy No Clue boasts a decent mystery and story, the comedy feels like Butt trying to create a new TV series instead of a big screen star vehicle for himself.

Cheap Thrills Review
Dark, twisted, and emotionally disturbed in ways almost too delightful and clever to spoil, the coal black comedy Cheap Thrills certainly lives up to its name and then some thanks to clever writing and solid performances.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues Review
Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues is to Anchorman what Ghostbusters 2 was to Ghostbusters. It’s an inferior, but lighthearted and often very funny retread of ground that had been previously covered much better in the original. Sure, it’s often hilarious (in the first half, anyway) and the cast jumps back into their roles quite nicely, but is it a good movie? Nope.
CONTEST: See an Advance Screening of ANCHORMAN 2: THE LEGEND CONTINUES in Toronto, Ottawa or Montreal!
SWEET ODIN'S RAVEN! Enter for a chance to win a pair of passes to an advance screening of the classiest movie of the year, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues in Toronto, Ottawa or Montreal on Monday, December 16th, courtesy of Dork Shelf and Paramount Pictures.
TAD 2013 Review: Cheap Thrills

Piranha 3DD Review
Dull, unfunny, unscary, and nowhere near as fun or campy as any of the films to bear the name of the famed man eating fish Piranha 3DD stinks on almost every conceivable level like pure desperation and boredom.
CONTEST: See PIRANHA 3DD in TORONTO, OTTAWA, HALIFAX, or WINNIPEG!

Final Destination 5 Review
The Final Destination series of films have officially become the movie-going equivalent of the tuxedo T-shirt. The first time you see it you say to yourself, "That's a really clever subversion of my expectations at this party." But after a while you begin to wonder just how long this gag is going to be milked because it really stopped being amusing several years ago. Final Destination 5 is an atrocious mess, but it is admittedly barely better than the last installment.
