Sneakers (1992)
You tend to forget how awesome this movie is. I have a friend at work who is working his way through the thriller genre on Netflix, and I asked if he’d ever seen Sneakers. He said no, and promptly settled in to watch it, and started raving about it immediately. Which made me think that…
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Romero finds his way onto the 101 Horror Movies again with the follow-up to the classic Night of the Living Dead with Dawn of the Dead. First off, let me get this out of the way. I liked it. I also like the remake. I did, however, find that the film itself, the 139 minute…
The Newsroom S01 E02 – News Night 2.0
After a fantastic newscast last week (for us), Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) and his team, are on a high, and ready to reinvigorate their program, News Night, with some new ideas. They want the best sources, to view the stories objectively, and supply information that will make decisions in the voting booth. They want to…
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
There are no surprises in the new Marvel/Sony reboot of our favorite wall-crawler when he returns to the big screen this summer in The Amazing Spider-Man.

People Like Us – Alex Kurtzman

So here’s a few of…
The Pact (2012)
Featured as the second film of the double bill at the opening of the Toronto After Dark – Summer Nights program, we saw The Pact last night. It’s going to be hard to talk about a lot of the particulars of the film without some heavy spoilers, so you have been warned! First off, let’s…
