The Bride! (2026) I've heard quite a bit about what a so-called "mess" Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride! is but that didn't pan out when I watched what was a br...

I am all here for the bold and audacious The Bride!, a film that won't be for the normies. My spoiler free reasons below.

Youngblood (2026) Rarely do remakes improve on the original but Youngblood might be one of the examples. This beautifully filmed drama skates a thin line bet...

Rarely do remakes surpass the original film, but I think I found one. Youngblood is playing now in Canadian cinemas. Go see it. Support Canadian cinema.

A ★★★★½ review of Turning Red (2022) I want to go on a rant about how large swaths of audiences have had to spend most of their lives watching films centring straight white males and we all learned to find some small piece we could relat...

A new Pixar film is opening today so I continue my 2026 Canadian Film Rewatch Project with an awesome Pixar film, 2022's Turning Red. While not technically a Canadian film it has a Canadian director, Canadian cast, and explicitly Canadian content. And it's wonderful.

Elio (2025) The best Pixar movies spark something emotional for me and it wasn't far into Elio 's runtime that this one found its mark. Elio is an expl...

With the release of the new Pixar film Hoppers tomorrow, I thought it was a good time to revisit their last film Elio, nominated for the Oscar for Animated Feature. It's an underrated film that is very enjoyable. It's available on Disney+

Amen!

Scream 7 (2025) What I like about a good Scream movie is: (1) the mystery, I like how they make you guess who the killer is which isn't common in slasher f...

I've now seen the new Scream film and it's about exactly what you'd expect. My thoughts below without getting into much spoilers.

It Was Just an Accident (2025) The story behind It Was Just An Accident is as compelling as its rich and engaging story. Filmed in secret, breaking all sorts of Iranian l...

Nominated for Oscars for International Film and Original Screenplay, It Was Just an Accident was one of my favourite films of 2025. It's available to rent digitally currently and is both funny and very poignant.

In the Blink of an Eye (2026) When a film is around 90 minutes, especially one that hasn't received the best reviews, I am often suspicious there is another film here, a ...

Critics have been hard on In the Blink of an Eye but I enjoyed it. It's not perfect but I still think it is worth watching. My thoughts below.

YouTube video by Nicholas Pike - Topic Sweet Dreams of Joy (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Sadly it appears I won't be able to see the film Viva Verdi!, a film nominated for one Oscar, Best Original Song for Sweet Dreams of Joy. So instead of the film I'll just share the song itself since that's what's getting honoured.

The Oscars are 2 weeks away and I have been commenting on(and will continue to) EVERY film nominated in EVERY catagory. I have seen all but 3 so I am still working on that.

A ★★★½ review of EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) I love me some Baz Luhrmann films. I know they aren't for everyone but I truly enjoy how he creates something lusciously visual for our senses each time he releases a movie. While he was making his El...

I love me some Baz Luhrmann film making and his latest Elvis documentary/concert film was a fascinating watch.

A ★★★★ review of Boxcutter (2024) Stratifying and beautifully filmed, Boxcutter, with its straight forward “day in the life” narrative exposes structural barriers that many communities face while also telling a personal story.

Before Black History Month wraps up I thought I'd continue my 2026 Canadian Film Rewatch Project with the recent film Boxcutter.

Firebreak (2026) This Spanish thriller has caught on like... well, wildfire. Yes it errs on the side of melodramatic and is eager to play with expectations b...

I caught the Spanish fire disaster movie that is causing a bit of a phenom on Netflix. It gave me some interesting things to think about. It's worth a watch, even just to be part of the discussion. My thoughts below.

The Bluff (2026) For films on a smaller budget, perhaps intentionally aimed at streaming, a good rule of thumb is KISS, keep it simple stupid. The Bluff is ...

I thought The Bluff was a fun little movie. Straightforward but satisfying. My thoughts below.

A ★★★★ review of The Perfect Neighbor (2025) A smart and succinct examination of how bigotry lives in community and explodes into violence where everyone is worse off for it. It is a compelling watch and raises issues which are important for us ...

Nominated for the Best Documentary Feature Oscar, The Perfect Neighbor is available on Netflix and is a surprisingly good, if upsetting, watch.

Honey Bunch (2026) I love a great old fashioned horror film that leans into creepy and disturbing over gore and jump-scares. Honey Bunch has a simple presence...

Honey Bunch is a fun creepy watch. My thoughts below.

Kokuho (2025) Gorgeous and epic, Kokuho is set in the world of Kabuki and the film makers revel in the pagentry and spectacle of it. Within that is the st...

Nominated for hair and make-up Oscars, Kokuho is an almost three hour epic set in the world of Kabuki and yes it is an incredible film to watch. My thoughts below.

How to Make a Killing (2026) Great premise. Wonderful cast. Snoozer of a movie. At one point I was even asking myself how it was possible to screw this up. All the piece...

How to Make a Killing is easily one of the most disappointing movies to come out in a long time. My spoilery thoughts below.

A ★★★ review of Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - much maligned when it was released, it’s been re-evaluated in context of the well received TV series it inspired  - as the introduction of Ahsoka and the in-continuity introduction of Asajj Ventress...

I continue my 2026 Star Wars Rewatch Project with The Clone Wars (I am watching them in timeline order). While easily the least of the theatrically released Star Wars films it lead to the series of the same name which added quite a few favourite characters and stories to the lore.

Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) I had a lot of fun at Rebirth . No film is going to live up to the legacy of Jurassic Park, a masterpiece in all ways, but as a film living ...

Nominated for Visual Effects, its only Oscar nomination, Jurassic World Rebirth is available to stream on Prime or rent digitally. The more I watch it the more I think it is the second best Jurassic Park movie... ever.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2026) When a movie can keep me guessing, doesn't do what I think it's going to, and manages to completely entertain me, I can be all in. Good Luck...

I. Loved. This. Movie.

It's getting a limited release in cinemas now. If you can go so it, Go. See. It.

It's so good.

KPop Demon Hunters (2025) I came to KPop Demon Hunters a little late and I assumed numorous things about it which turned out to be... well some not quite true and oth...

KPop Demon Hunters is nominated for 2 Oscars, Animated Feature and Song for Golden. It's likely to win both being one of the few films that win everything it's nominated for. My thoughts on this film below. If you haven't seen it it's on Netflix.

I found Crime 101 to be a solid little crime drama that I think mostly works. My thoughts below.

A ★★★★★ review of Heartbeats (2010) I adore this film. Perhaps the “slightest” of Dolan’s films because it isn’t as “dark” as most of his work, it simply explores the effects on the friendship between a straight woman and a gay man when...

Okay one more, not quite suitable for Valentines Day movie. I continue my 2026 Canadian Film Rewatch with my favourite Xavier Dolan film Heartbeats (the name in French is so much better Les amours imaginaires). It is one of my fave films and a deconstruction of movies about love.

Overall I don't recommend the movie as it has that true story, movie-of-the-week vibe that doesn't rub me the right way. If you are interested it's available to stream on Apple TV or digital download.

The Lost Bus (2025) The Lost Bus is fairly cliche riddled and never overcomes the based-on-a-true-story movie-of-the-week tropes infused throughout. It isn't t...

I was surprised when The Lost Bus was nominated for Best Visual Effects (its only nomination) because when I saw it I found the visual effects to be... not great...and taking me out of the movie.

I've been mulling this over since seeing it last night but here are my thoughts on Emerald Fennell's adaptation of "Wuthering Heights".

A ★★★½ review of Crash (1996) - a film that skirts the line between horror and satire, without belittling the subject, exploring a deeply uncomfortable paraphilia with a somewhat detached lens - we follow a couple who are seeking ...

It's Valentines Day so naturally I am continuing my 2026 Canadian Films Rewatch Project withh 1996's Crash by the legendary David Cronenberg.

A ★★★★½ review of Come See Me in the Good Light (2025) Captured in their own words the final days of poet Andrea Gibson's life play out like a beautiful tribute to life, love, and diversity. Their relationship with their partner and wider circle of love r...

My favourite of the 5 nominees for Documentary Feature is Come and See Me In the Good Light, a film about the last months of poet Andrea Gibson's life before succumbing to cancer. It is beautiful and inspiring in ways that are honest and raw. I highly recommend it.
