Here is what I watched:

• Speed – Rewatch (Cinema) – Definitely a film meant to be seen on the big screen.
• Leviathan – First Viewing (Cinema) – Best thing I can say is that the film didn’t make me vomit.
• The Face of Another – First Viewing (Cinema) – A delightfully weird and surreal morality tale.
• A Colt is My Passport – First Viewing (Cinema) – A Yazuka film as Western
• The Incredible Burt Wonderstone – First Viewing (Cinema) – I liked it.
• Ondine – First Viewing (Netflix) – It was an OK fantasy/drama, however a somewhat more interesting version of the Selkie legend can be found in John Sayles’ 1994 film The Secret of Roan Inish.
• Greedy Lying Bastards – First Viewing (Cinema) – Left wing propaganda about right wing propaganda
• The Mask – Rewatch (Cinema) – The effects are getting a bit dated, but it’s still fun.
• Canadian Film Fest: The Storm Within – First Viewing (Cinema) – Quite an effective revenge thriller
• The Iron Giant – First Viewing (Cinema) – Wow…Just Wow

• Canadian Film Fest: Please Kill Mr. Know It All – First Viewing (Cinema) – Very sitcomy and cliched romantic comedy.
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Rewatch (Cinema) – They don’t make films like this anymore.
• Canadian Film Fest: The Disappeared – First Viewing (Cinema) – Interesting story about survival on a lifeboat
• Canadian Film Fest: Skull World – First Viewing (Cinema) – A very entertaining documentary.
• Hedwig and the Angry Inch – First Viewing (Cinema) – Turned out to be quite entertaining.
• Canadian Film Fest: Mr. Viral – First Viewing (Cinema) – Wasn’t all too crazy about this one.
• Hitman Hart: Wrestling with Shadows – Rewatch (Cinema) – Still a powerful look behind the curtain of the “not as fake as it seems” world of pro wrestling
• From Up on Poppy Hill – First Viewing (Cinema) – Even though this film has a much more “real world” premise than other Studio Ghibli films, there is still a lot to like about this film.
• John Dies at the End – Rewatch (Cinema) – Understood the film much better the second time around.
• Annie Hall – First Viewing (Blu-Ray) – OK film, though I was somewhat confused by the non-chronological telling of the story
