By the already low standards that a Red Dawn remake would have, it's not very good, but not as flat out awful as one would secretly suspect. It's stupid, has a small handful of good action scenes, is unevenly acted, and is still pretty xenophobic despite it being more ridiculous this time out.
We take a look back on the career of Quentin Tarantino as Reservoir Dogs celebrates it's 20th anniversary with a blu-ray box set including almost all of the feature films he's been a part of.
Dork Shelf sits down with director David O. Russell, former sexiest man alive Bradley Cooper, and rising superstar Jennifer Lawrence about their work on Silver Linings Playbook and creating a film about mental illness that keeps it as real as humanly possible.
While it looks great, Rise of the Guardians teams up some of your favourite childhood hits in a film that's annoying, chaotic, and terribly written. It's as if Michael Bay decided to up and make a film for the under 10 crowd.
Time to drop your pants and put dial-a-bottle on speed dial! That’s right folks, Darryl’s Hard Liquor And Porn Film Festival is here again. It’s one of those rare Toronto niche film festivals that lives up to its name.
Writer/director Leos Carax’s deeply, satisfyingly bizarre Holy Motors is a film that almost seems to go out of its way to defy classification. Put a gun to my head and I guess I’d describe it as an art house romp, but even that doesn’t quite seem right.
For all the bluster and gossip that surrounds the release of the final instalment of The Twilight Saga, only two things can be said about it for sure: it’s all over and it ends on a pretty decent high note by series standards.
Despite peaking after a terrifying opening sequence, the Irish horror thriller Citadel is a solid genre effort that will thrill audiences effectively.
We take a look inside the TIFF Bell Lightbox's Designing 007: 50 Years of Bond Style exhibit looking at all things shaken and stirred, and we talk with head of Lightbox Film Programming Jesse Wente about bringing the exhibit to Toronto and some of his personal favourites from the exhibit.
This week on DVD Pixar's Brave and the re-boot of The Amazing Spider-man both take aim for home entertainment superiority. We also take a look at the underrated holiday heartwarmer Arthur Christmas, the apocalyptic comedy Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, and two cheesy direct to DVD action films: one that has Bruce Willis and the other with Steve Austin and Steven Segal.
Universal has released a collection of most of Alfred Hitchcocks' most notable films. It's light on special features, but still an excellent and good looking set. Here's a look back at the man with the most famous silhouette and a taste for murder.
It might still have Steven Spielberg's trademark streak of sentimentality, but Lincoln might be the director's most satisfying historical drama to date,
While not terrible and despite a solid cast of pros, The Oranges is a limp comedy that trods over the same ground as countless suburban based comedies and dramas that came before it.
We take a look at the winners in all the major categories at the 6th annual enRoute short film festival, sponsored by Air Canada.
In honour of the release of the latest 007 adventure, the TIFF Bell Lightbox takes a look at some of the other spy thrillers that came out of the legacy of James Bond in Beyond Bond: The Other Secret Agents.
