January 5, 2010 – First time viewing.
Ink is easily the coolest and most creative film released in 2009. If it weren’t for my friends over at Sans Broccoli, I would probably never have heard of it let alone given it a fair shake.
“Ink” was written and directed by Jamin Winans and cast, shot, produced, [...]

As comedy goes, I pretty much love anything workplace related: “Dilbert”, TV’s “Newsradio”, “The Office” (both UK and American versions) etc… and I certainly love Mike Judge’s “Office Space”. The work environment is a strange place. More often than not, you’ve got a bunch of very different people [...]

The only reason that I sat down to watch the film adaptation of “Needful Things” is because I had just finished the novel (written by Stephen King) and felt compelled to see it brought to screen. As with many transfers to film, a lot of books that get the [...]

The trailer, cast, and concept of “All About Steve” had all the makings of a run-of-the-mill Sandra Bullock romantic comedy. Not really my kind of movie by any stretch of the imagination but a decent enough film to watch on a lazy first day of a new [...]

Catch next week’s Coen Brothers Film Experience entry on Wednesday, November 25th: The Big Lebowski
I was in grade eight when “Fargo” was released. At that time, films like “Happy Gilmore”, “Black Sheep”, and “Rumble in the Bronx” were more up my alley. It wasn’t until the 1997 Academy Awards when the film won its 2 [...]
