Nightshooters is a kinetic, frenetic, UK actioner laced with humour, cold tea, and explosive gore, and it’s enjoying its Canadian premiere on today’s line up of Toronto After Dark titles, as the virtual format of the film festival continues! Falling squarely into the wrong place wrong time of action films, the film follows a group…

Broken Homes (2013) – Ben Aaronovitch
The fourth book in Ben Aaronovitch’s River of London series opens up the world again, even further than the previous novel, as we join Peter Grant, Lesley, Nightingale as they continue their hunt for the Faceless Man, dealing with the Gods and Godesses of the rivers, and the mysteries that begin to spring up with…
Lego Star Wars: Character Encyclopedia: New Edition (2020) – Elizabeth Dowsett
Lego… Star Wars… DK Canada… What’s not to love? Maybe it’s the self-isolation that I’m going through right now, maybe it’s allowing my inner child to surface more dominantly (who am I kidding my inner child RULES!), but I love me some Lego, and I love me some Star Wars. But the only thing I…

Die Hard (1988) – John McTiernan
The 101 Action Movies brings me another one of my favorites. Fresh off the success of Predator, McTiernan took Bruce Willis, then mostly known for the TV series Moonlighting and launched him into superstardom as everyman police officer John McClane, who just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Flying out…
