Freakscene: The Story of Dinosaur Jr. is a breezy, candid, and suitably fuzzed out look at one of alternative rock's most influential groups, and it's playing this month at the Calgary Underground Film Festival.
This week, That Shelf is acting as caterer to the bizarre and giving away 2 copies of Bruce McDonald's new film Dreamland!

This week at The Bloor: the powerful and distressing Call Me Kuchu looks at LGBT human rights abuses in Uganda (now more timely than ever given the current landscape in Russia that's eerily similar), and Iceberg Slim: Portrait of a Pimp takes a look at how a "street poisoned" criminal found catharsis in confessional writing to become one of the most vital African American literary voices in history.
