Interview: Billy Crystal

Dork Shelf talks with the one and only Billy Crystal about returning to school as Mike Wazowski in Disney Pixar's Monsters University and how the themes of his recent film still pertain to his life today, what his grandkids think of the him, what scares him, how his university days differed from his younger, more diminutive altar ego, what serves as a source of friendship and strength to him, and much, much more

World War Z Review

Intermittently laughable, mostly boring, and self-serious in all the wrong ways, World War Z is a borderline incoherent debacle and the most unnecessarily sanitized movie about "zombies" ever created. It's like it was created by people who hate the genre.

This Week at The Bloor: 6/21/13

This week at the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema brings looks at the lives of musical legend B.B.

Me, the bees, and cancer Review

The first film to get a wide release from producer and Toronto filmmaker Ingrid Veninger's 1K Wave, Me, the bees and cancer tells the inspiring story of a local entertainment industry icon and near life long homeopath who wasn't about to let a little lymphoma get him down.

No One Lives Review

With a central antihero pitched somewhere between Hannibal Lecter and Ryan Gosling's character from Drive, the silly, but fun survivalist slasher No One Lives sets its aims low and doesn't take itself too seriously, and it works pretty well.

Interview: Dave Foley

We talk to Canadian comedy icon Dave Foley to talk about coming back to work at Pixar for Monsters University, why it’s great to have a film to show to his kids, rumours of Kids in the Hall getting back together, how KITH was a lot like the fraternity at MU, and if he ever had any roommate troubles of his own.

This Is Martin Bonner Review

One of the best films you'll likely see this year plays at the Revue in Toronto tomorrow night for free and for one night only. This Is Martin Bonner is a striking and charming human drama about the nature of loneliness that never wallows in misery and features two of the year's biggest standout performances. You should probably make time to see this one.

Much Ado About Nothing Review

Sweet, small, goofy, and surprisingly accessible, Joss Whedon's low-fi version of Much Ado About Nothing probably ranks as one of the most breezily entertaining Shakespeare adaptation ever splattered all over a big screen.

Interview: Anthony Lemke

We sit down with Canadian actor Anthony Lemke, star of the Space airing mini-series Exploding Sun (who will also be seen later this month in the blockbuster-to-be White House Down) about what makes disaster movies special, what it takes to credibly sound like an astrophysicist, and if people still recognize him as RoboCop's son,

Interview: Robert Pilichowski

We talk to director Robert Pilichowski, director of the NXNE premiering documentary All Out War, about getting to the heart and soul of the individual B-Boys outside of their crews.

The Great Chameleon Review

The Great Chameleon further proves that local theatres need to stop giving theatrical runs for any asshole with a chequebook who thinks they have a movie. Giving this shit even ten minutes of my time is fucking generous.
