Scotiabank played host to a heartbreaking presentation of this beautiful film that shows the terrible state of medicine in the United States and its practice. Remote Are Medical, created by Stan Brock (who seems to travel everywhere by bike), was established to bring doctors to the Amazon. Recent times however, have necessitated them to bring more work…

Hot Docs: The Unbelievers – Gus Holwerda
One of the films i was most looking forward to at this year’s Hot Docs is now behind me, finally making the last screening of The Unbelievers at the Isabel Bader Theater. This one was everything I hoped it would be, giving brilliant scientists Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss a forum to spread the need…
Orphan Black S01E05 – Conditions of Existence
Oh what a tangled web! I finally got a chance to catch up on last week’s Orphan Black (sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day!) and this show gets better and better each episode! I’m so glad they are coming back for a second season! This episode marks the halfway point of…
Hot Docs: The Great North Korean Picture Show – James Leong & Lynn Lee
Wednesday evening, I got a look inside the world of acting and film in North Korea. What I found was an entertaining film, that despite being heavily monitored by the secretive state’s government (they reviewed all the dailies before they were allowed to be used, and some material couldn’t be used due to faults, according to them,…
V – 30 Years On
The Visitors arrived 30 years ago this week. Kenneth Johnson’s aliens who came to earth posing as our friends while hiding not only a horrible appearance but an equally terrifying agenda premiered with the original mini-series V. The sad thing is, I wasn’t allowed to stay up and watch all of it, and we certainly…
The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh – On The Big Screen!!
It’s no secret that both Sue and I loved Rodrigo Gudino’s creepy ghost story The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh. We were lucky enough to screen a copy of it thanks to director Rodrigo Gudino and his producers, but now it’s your turn! If you’ve missed it at festivals, or were unsure, now’s your chance! Screening…
Hot Docs: Alphee of the Stars – Hugo Latulippe
There was a scene that nearly broke my heart as I watched Alphee of the Stars last night at the Lightbox. Hugo Latulippe is sitting across from his daughter, Alphee as they are travelling via train through a snow-covered Switzerland, and in a scene completely played in silence you can see as he watches…
Doctor Who S07E11 – Journey To The Center of The TARDIS
I’m sorry to say it. After the goodwill last week’s episode built up, this one just kind of squandered it again. I just couldn’t get into this episode, I liked the glimpses we got of other rooms in the TARDIS, but over all, I just felt let down. And I have to tell you……
Hot Docs: Shooting Bigfoot – Morgan Matthews
I want to believe. I’ve always wanted to. I like the idea that the legends and stories of monsters and creatures of unknown origin can exist in our world, it adds mystery and excitement to things. Growing up I would read about UFOs, aliens, Loch Ness, ghosts, and bigfoot. These ideas fascinated me, and from time…
Bomb Girls S02E11 – Kings and Pawns
At this point, I am so glad I am a week behind on catching up on Bomb Girls, because currently, I am not ready to watch the final episode and say goodbye to the girls until who knows when. So knowing that I currently have one more episode to get through delights me to…
