Stranger Than Fiction
Quirky. A rather amusing and entertaining film that was much under rated when it was first released, which for the life of me I can’t understand. Visually pleasing with interesting characters and lots of great humour all the way through. … Continue reading
Land of 10,000 Lakes? No I Live in Bizarro Weatherland
This winter has been bizarre. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to say we even had a winter at all. Usually, by November there’s permanent snow on the ground. This year I didn’t have to shovel until February! Of course, … Continue reading

United 93
Incredible. This has got to be one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Ever! That may sound a little over the top but I assure you this definitely not only a must see movie but a must buy movie … Continue reading

Jazz Fest 2007

The Queen
Brilliant. This was another film I’d been nervous about seeing because, well, the subject matter didn’t sound that interesting. Mostly I’d heard it was a Blair/QEII pas de deux and that didn’t strike me as hugely engrossing. Amazingly, I loved … Continue reading
Children Of Men
Brilliant. A great story that grabs you right from the word go and never lets up. A whole slew of wonderful performances that drag you into this future world. It’s so enjoyable to watch a movie that assumes its audience … Continue reading
The Eye of the Beholder
As you can probably tell I’m way behind on posting. Today, the sun is out, the snow has melted and the weather is freaking me out. So I’m going to prattle on a while, using strong language and irony, about … Continue reading

It’s All About Love
Weird. So you’ve never heard of this film either? Well that makes two of us. It does have several positive attributes. There’s Joaquin Phoenix and Claire Danes for two and some of the imagery is quite stunning. I especially loved … Continue reading
The Servant of Two Masters
Went to see a UMM production of this play by Carlo Goldoni this evening. Lots of bawdy humour, modern slapstick, amusing dialogue and great acting. The production was performed in the round, with minimal scenery, which suited the nature of … Continue reading
