This Week in Movies

Even though it’s relatively light on new releases, I’m still going to be quite busy of the next few days. New Releases Beasts of the Southern Wild (July 17) – A big hit at Sundance and Cannes, I plan on checking this film out at the Bell Lightbox on Tuesday. Festivals Shorts That Are Not Pants…

I may have already watched the week’s biggest new release, but that doesn’t mean that it will be an off-week for me. New Releases Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (July 7) – I’m finally going to catch up with this film, which sadly has a much more limited release in only its…

Happy long weekend! Over the next few days we will be celebrating Canada Day over here and Independence Day in the States.  What a better time to see some summer blockbusters, both old and new.  Here’s what’s on deck. New Releases The Amazing Spider-Man (July 3) – The reboot of the Spider-Man franchise opens on an unusual day this…

After me skipping the new releases last week, this week has three movies I would be interested in seeing.  I’ll probably squeeze two this week and see the other next week. New Releases Brave (June 23) – The latest Disney/Pixar film is the most likely to be my weekend film pick. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (June…

After what was probably my busiest non-festival film-viewing week, next week is going to seem much more petty in comparison.  Skipping most of the new releases and I will instead focus on a few repertory screenings. New Releases The Island President (June 20) – This film won the People’s Choice Documentary award at TIFF and I look forward…

Quite a busy week coming up for me. New Releases Prometheus (June 9) – Ridley Scott’s return to the world of Alien (which may or may not be a prequel) is one of the most anticipated films of the summer. I definitely look forward to checking this one out. Cosmopolis (June 12) – David Cronenberg‘s latest promises to…

I definitely have an interesting line-up of films prepared for this first week of June. New Releases Piranha 3DD (June 1) – The main release that everyone is likely to see is Snow White & the Huntsman.  However, I’m more inclined to watch a film about 3D killer fish.  Just shows you what kind of films…

Thing are really starting to heat up (both figuratively and literally) and the summer movie season is now in full swing.  Here’s what I have on deck for this week. New Releases Men in Black III (May 27) – While a decade may be a little too long a wait between sequels, I still plan on…

It’s the first major long weekend of the summer in Canada, which often means more people are more interested in heading to the cottage than going to the movies.  I’m not sure yet if I’d be heading out to the cottage, but I still have a line-up of the films that I plan to see…
