This Week at The Bloor: 7/11/14

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.

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

This week at The Bloor brings the premiere of the latest from Paradise Lost director Joe Berlinger, the solid Whitey: The United States v. James J. Bulger and the rousing sports drama Next Goal Wins.

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.
