A Knight’s Tale (2001) – Brian Helgeland
Making a film intentionally anachronistic can work, and A Knight’s Tale is really no better example. Using classic rock songs, modern language, which also filters into the styles and production design, A Knight’s Tale is a medieval take on the sports movie. And despite not having seen it for a couple of decades at this…

Jumanji (1995) – Joe Johnston
I hadn’t seen this movie since I saw it in the theaters. I remember that it was on all the loop tapes we played in the video store I worked in. I saw the clips of the monkeys in the police car, and the animal stampede countless times, so much so that it almost overpowered…
Stargate: Atlantis (2007) – Travelers, and Tabula Rasa
Paul Mullie and Joseph Mallozzi wrote Travelers which first debuted on 26 October, 2007. Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) is returning on a mission when he is fired on by a giant starship. Brought on board, he discovers they’ve been living a nomadic existence aboard ship due to the war with the Wraith (sounds a bit like…
Clown in a Cornfield (2025) – Eli Craig
I quite enjoyed the Bram Stoker award winning YA novel Clown in a Cornfield, so it made sense that sooner or later I was going to take in the film adaption of the story. It makes me laugh that the book is very much defined as a teen book, but the film itself, because of…
Dressed to Kill (1946) – Roy William Neill
This is it, the final Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson adventure to feature Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce in the iconic roles. While it is another original story, it does lift elements from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories A Scandal in Bohemia, and The Adventure of the Six Napoleons. The mystery centers around a trio…
TIFF 25: You Had to Be There – How the Toronto Godspell Ignited the Comedy Revolution… dir. Nick Davis
In 1972 and 1973 at the Royal Alexandra Theatre here in Toronto, almost everything we know about modern comedy was born. The cast included Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, Andrea Martin, Victor Garber and Dave Thomas. From the seeds planted by this special group being brought together sprang SCTV and SNL, not to mention…
