Hello, and welcome to another installment of everyone’s favourite film column in which the writer makes up their opinions on the weeks films largely based on what trailers they’ve seen on TV. This week we didn’t watch much (busy watching our IT Crowd Series 2 and Metalocalypse DVDs) so the only one which managed to break our consciousness was the three seconds or so we caught of a trailer for In Bruges, a Belgium-set......

The price of oil scaled new heights yesterday, climbing up over $80 US for the first time ever. That's good news if you're an oil company, but bad news if you're a regular folk who likes to go places, or do things, or eat stuff. McDonald's Canada is going upscale. Influenced by popular chains such as Starbucks, the fast-food giant will renovate its restaurants to make them more "comfortable," creating cosiness with leather chairs,......

Going to see all three films in Nicolas Winding Refn's Pusher Trilogy, one after another in one night, is one of this Torontoist’s most treasured cinema memories, and although we did it at 2005’s Toronto International Film Festival, anyone who missed that chance can now do it at the Brunswick Theatre (296 Brunswick Avenue) tonight and tomorrow night starting 7 p.m. It’s $10 for one film or $15 for the lot, so obviously you......

The big film this week is Terence Malik’s The New World, and by big, of course, we mean big (and by that we mean epic). Though, the full theatrical release does shed 15 minutes from it’s previous limited release for Oscar consideration. The majority of the publicity centres on 15 year old Q’Orianka Kilcher, who plays Pocahontas in the feature, because Terence Malik is a legendary recluse, and neither of the male stars (Colin......

Remember when Val Kilmer was a Top Gun actor? Quentin Tarantino even wrote hip pop-culture dialogue about his character. Well Iceman, you're not so hot anymore. Maybe it started with your second-rate Batman (although George Clooney seems to have recovered just fine.) Or perhaps it was when you chose to play William DeKooning to the far more interesting Jackson Pollack (specious Toronto segue: The AGO presents Willem de Kooning: A Painters Painter. The lecture is......

Hey Val Kilmer, you John Holmes mutherf---er. Hey Iceman, you're not so hot anymore, are you? First, you were a second-rate Dark Knight. Then you were reduced to playing Willem DeKooning in a Jackson Pollack biopic. And now, now you're playing Colin Farrell's father! To add insult to injury, it looks like they wanted Chandler for the part. What would Jim Morrison say about you now? Riders on the storm Riders on the storm Into......
