film
There's only one new film at The Bloor this week - the okay, but very niche look at tailoring Men of the Cloth - but there's still a ton of great events going on at the cinema over the next seven days.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Review
A slight step above its rather silly predecessor, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes decides to go the deathly serious route instead of keeping things light and fun with decidedly mixed results.
Begin Again Review
Begin Again, filmmaker John Carney’s musically minded feature length follow-up to the genuinely charming Irish sleeper hit Once, has all the energy, talent, and drive of a dire, out of tune cover band that has deluded itself quite terribly into thinking all its members are swaggering rock and roll gods and goddesses.
Life Itself Review
While it might not tell people who read Roger Ebert's memoir too much they didn't already know, the documentary Life Itself is a powerful work of deep empathy and human emotion that the late film critic could be proud of.

Borgman Review
The offbeat Dutch thriller Borgman aspires to a deeper kind of profundity than it can adequately pull off.
Manakamana Review
Manakamana gives patient and thoughtful viewers a lyrical, quiet, hypnotic, and inviting open reading of seemingly mundane trips amid the Nepalese mountains.
This Week at The Bloor: 7/4/14

Gerontophilia Review
Bruce LaBruce, Canada’s most shocking film director and queer zombie porn auteur, has officially mellowed. That doesn’t mean he’s got nothing left to say or shout about, but it does mean that in Gerontophilia he isn’t doing it with his tongue wagging around.
