Movie Infos Title: The Evil Dead Year: 1982 Director: Sam Raimi And I don’t even like scary movies! Even “Psycho” and “Halloween” didn’t do it for me. If you really want to see one hell of a horror movie, the film to see is definitively “The Evil Dead”. What makes it so damn good is that A) It was made for 500 grands by a…

Forced to leave his yuppie life to go into the Witness Protection Program, Cinq-Mars ends up hiding in a kitschy camping community managed by the equally kitschy Jackie Pigeon (Sylvie Moreau). Lepage can be…
2009 J’ai tué ma mère58 [ review ] 2010 Les amours imaginaires41 [ review ] 2012 Laurence Anyways50 [ review ] 2013 Tom à la ferme39 [ I’m a sucker for old-school film scores. Seriously, right when the ominous, Bernard Herrmannesque Gabriel Yared score kicked in, some 5 minutes into the film, it had me hooked, even though at that point, we know next to…
Movie Infos Title: Mission: Impossible Year: 1996 Director: Brian De Palma Writer: Robert Towne, David Koepp, Steven Zallian In a way, this movie has two personalities.

As written by Allison Burnett and directed by Robert Benton, “Feast of Love” is kind of a mixed bag, as rom-com ensemble films tend to be (see also: “Playing by Heart”, “Love Actually”, etc.). Still, Radha Mitchell gives a truly great performance in it, so I jumped on the opportunity to talk to her over the phone about it. “Bonjour, ça va?” Oui, ça va!…
This is one of my generation’s classics, you know, one of these flicks that we’ve all seen countless times since when we were kids and have never outgrown. As played by Harrison Ford, Indiana Jones is truly one of the coolest action heroes ever to strike the screen. The leather hat, the whip, the attitude… He’s one hell of a fighter, as well as a…
Last time we met, you were just about to star in “The Trotsky”, and you seemed really happy that you were gonna get to shoot a movie in Montreal again. “Very much so, very much so.

Ok, so we’re here to talk about The Disappearance of Alice Creed… You must get this a lot, but what made you want to make such a harsh movie? I think that…
Dr. Gerald Plecki (Jeff Daniels) is a teacher at Chicago’s Steinmetz High School, where motivated students are rare and motivated teachers even rarer. This is a situation not that uncommon, but things are really bad here. The school is under-funded and the students aren’t performing well. Still, Plecki keeps at it, coaching a small group of students for the state’s academic contest even though the…
Regular readers of this site are aware of my love-hate relationship with Scarlett Johansson. Every time I see that she’s gonna be in a new movie, I get this mixed feeling. On the one hand, I’m always looking forward to seeing more of her spectacular breasts, sensational legs and sensual lips. But when my thinking goes back upstairs, I remember how limited her acting abilities are…
