WEB EXCLUSIVE: The Future Is Now! Interview

With his innovative 2006 film Radiant City, director Gary Burns nabbed the coveted Genie Award for Best Documentary. For Burns it marked a notable crossover from crafting fictional comedies like waydowntown into the world of non-fiction. Well... Sort of.

Horrible Bosses Hit the Big-Screen

Do you hate your boss? Do you have secret dreams at night of seeking revenge on the inflictor of your daily frustrations? Well, in case you've not heard, on July 8th, the new comedy Horrible Bosses will be taking a star-studded comedic stab at the world of bad employers getting their just desserts and no one will be more hungry to see said film than those who lament their corporate leaders.

African Cats - Meet the Filmmakers

If there's one place in the world where the wild things really are, it is the African savanna where such an array of animals as elephants, lions, giraffes and crocodiles all co-exist. Well, almost. As Disneynature's African Cats shows through its stars – a pride of lions and a cheetah and her cubs – danger lies at every turn in the wilderness of the savanna.

'80s Movies That Deserve Remakes

As far as Hollywood goes, it may as well be 1985. After all, not only does recent box-office champ Tron: Legacy harken back to an '80s hit but with such upcoming Reagan-era remakes as Arthur (April 8), Fright Night (August 19), Footloose (Oct. 14) and several others in the works, it seems filmmakers are excavating the 1980s for cinematic gold.

Hop - An Interview with Director Tim Hill

Directed by Tim Hill, Hop combines animation and live actors and experiments with the largely unexplored (cinematically anyhow) themes of Spring's most famous holiday. I called up the filmmaker at his home in California recently to discuss Hop, Russell Brand and how kids love pooping jokes.

Much Ado About…The Oscars Aftermath

Well, the show is over and although The King's Speech is celebrating its Award winnings, Oscar's poor hosts are taking a lot of shots. Yes, as with pretty much every year, the Academy Awards is one giant anti-climactic dud and the ones on the front line take most of the flack.

Interview with John Whitesell, Director of BIG MOMMAS: LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON

Big Momma is back and director John Whitesell is hoping she's bigger than ever! At least when it comes to the box-office anyhow. The filmmaker behind the franchise's last sequel returned behind the camera for Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son in which star Martin Lawrence teams up with his undercover son.

10 Movies to Get Excited Over This Winter

The early part of any year is usually the dumping ground for most studios. As such, most flicks that open during this period are often quickly forgotten (remember ?). In order to ensure some of the more promising titles do not get overlooked however, I've compiled ten films that should be cause for anticipation over the next couple of chilly months.

A Spotlight on Asian Cinema

One of the hottest tickets of this year's Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival (TRAIFF) will undoubtedly be Clement Cheng and Derek Kwok's Gallants, a film celebrating classic martial arts through intoxicating humor, and some big time ass-kicking moments.

Upcoming Movies (You May or May Not Care About)

It's that time of year again when images of Santa Claus' unkempt beard and grotesque paunch start popping up all over the place. In Hollywoodland however, that means its also time to ramp up the holiday blockbusters and this year is no different.

5 Road Movies to Check Out

With the upcoming release of Todd Phillips' Due Date (starring noneother than Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis, the breakout star of Phillips' last comedy, The Hangover), audiences are poised for yet another resurgence of a genre Hollywood has longingly danced with - the road movie.

5 Movies I Can't Wait to See at TIFF

TIFF (otherwise known as the Toronto International Film Festival) is heading into its 35th year and although North America's biggest film fest is now well in to showing 300 movies and hosting hundreds of actors, celebrities and filmmakers, at its root is the simplicity of the cinema.

Stallone Brings the 80's Back!

Well, well, well. It seems Sylvester Stallone has a little gas left in the engine after all. His latest thriller The Expendables nabbed $35 million in its opening box office -- which all but ensures Sly at least another big-time Hollywood release.

A Brief Look at the History of Buddy Cop Flicks

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are following a well-worn path with their new movie, The Other Guys. They are... wait for it... buddy cops. In the zany comedy, the duo play a pair of mismatched officers (Ferrell a forensic accountant with a by-the-book attitude, Wahlberg a shoot-first, ask-questions-later detective).

Airplane! aka Zero Hour!

If, like me, you grew up on multiple viewings of Airplane!, then chances are you celebrated the 30th anniversary of the zany 1980 comedy this past weekend. 30 years later, one cannot deny how clever and entertaining the original Airplane! was -- even if it actually wasn't that original at all.

WEB EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Jason Segel of Despicable Me

In the new animated comedy, Despicable Me, Jason Segel plays a villain -- a role that most of us luckily won't recognize him in. That's because not only has he played a nice guy in such feel-good comedies as I Love You, Man and Forgetting Sarah Marshall (which he also wrote), but he's actually known as one of Hollywood's most likeable celebrities.

WEB EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Get Him to the Greek's Nick Stoller

With his 2008 hit Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Nick Stoller cemented his status as one of Hollywood's most promising comedy directors. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why when it came time to make his next movie, the filmmaker decided to revive that movie's most memorable character.

The Dogs of Summer

Well, it's about a month into the summer movie season (if you consider Iron Man 2 the official inauguration anyhow) and so far, we've been relatively lucky in the arena of cinematic beasts.

Moms in the Movies

Mother's Day is coming up. Have you placed your flower orders yet? Have you bought the perfect card? Have you chosen a movie to watch with your mumsy?

Summer Movie Preview

We all look forward to the summer slate of blockbusters, don't we? I mean, sure they may not be notoriously known for winning Oscars or winning the hearts of true cinephiles but they sure do bring in the bucks at the box office.

The End For James Bond?

Steve Gow writes about the the status of the James Bond franchise in light of the recent announcement that the current 007 production has been shut-down.

WEB EXCLUSIVE: Filmmaker Bill Phillips Goes Gunless

In the new Canadian comedy Gunless, Paul Gross plays an American gunslinger that shockingly finds himself in a sleepy Canadian town where there isn't even a working pistol for a good ol' shootout. Clearly, a unique twist on the American Western, Gunless will surely attract a few fans of the genre when it opens in theatres April 30th.

WEB EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Shawn Levy, Director of Date Night

With his new movie Date Night, filmmaker Shawn Levy has made an action-comedy aimed at adults. Although that may sound peculiar on its own, you have to consider the Montreal-born director's work. After all, Levy is responsible for such huge family films as the Night at the Museum movies and Cheaper by the Dozen - not big action films involving mobsters and car chases.
