Loose Cannons Special #1: Interview with Go-Go Boys Director Hilla Medalia
We're celebrating the arrival of the Loose Cannons podcast on Dork Shelf with a very special interview. The Loose Cannons speak with filmmaker Hilla Medalia, the director of the documentary The Go-Go Boys: The Inside Story of Cannon Films.
Loose Cannons Episode #4 – Joe (1970)
The Loose Cannons finally hit a film they feel they can unreservedly recommend—John G. Avildsen’s proto-vigilante flick/thoughtful rumination on class and race in early 1970s America, Joe!
The Calling Review
Though certainly uninspired, some great performances help make the serial killer flick The Calling worthwhile.
Tammy Review
Melissa McCarthy’s first project as producer, writer, and star will most likely flop, but it’s not the abysmal failure than its curiously quiet dumping over the Fourth of July holiday in the States would suggest.
The Company You Keep Review
The Company You Keep, the latest thriller from actor and director Robert Redford is almost quaint in terms of how unpretentious it is despite subject material and a stacked cast of familiar faces that could have been so much more than this. But it's that smallness that makes it all that much better.
Snitch Review
While not as action packed as fans of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would expect given his recent output, the character based drama Snitch is still an admirable change of pace.
CONTEST: See SNITCH in 6 Cities!
Enter for a chance to win one of ten pairs of passes to see an advance screening of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in Snitch in Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Halifax, Calgary, or Edmonton on Thursday, February 21st, courtesy of Dork Shelf and eOne Films!
This “Week” in DVD: 12/18/12
With films coming to home video two days this week (Tuesday and Friday) here's part one of our look at the latest releases including Beasts of the Southern Wild, Killer Joe, Total Recall, Premium Rush, and Arbitrage.
Arbitrage Review
Even when adding subplots involving a deadly cover-up, crooked cops, and a shaky marriage, it’s still hard to make a compelling film set against the backdrop of investment banking. Luckily, Arbitrage overcomes potentially dry material with some great performances and a solid cat and mouse story where the mouse is being chased by dozens of cats through several different houses.

Robot & Frank Review
With a story of a grumpy old man learning life lessons and pulling off heists with the help of a robot sounds like a concept that Disney would have come up with circa 1998, Robot & Frank is an incredibly sweet, charming, funny and deeply enjoyable movie that avoids grating sentimentality and builds actual excitement and emotion.
