Tonight, with my Film class, I’m going to the Ontario Film Review Board (i.e. where they give the movie ratings).
I get to see a film that’s yet to open and I get to learn about how they rate the films.
I’ll make sure to post my observations afterwards.

My top pick this week is Jason Reitman’s new film Up in the Air, which is opening in limited release (and which I probably won’t see until mid-week).

This is my favourite overall film, since it would be a no-brainer that this film ended up as my top film of the decade. In my opinion, Donnie Darko was a very unique film experience that will probably never be duplicated. This was also the film that got me interested in film analysis, leading to…
My true pick for this week would be to finally pick up Splice, which happened to come out a week later in Canada than the US (which is weird, considering how it’s a Canadian film). However, if I had to make a pick for the new releases this week, I’d say that I’d pick How…
2013 is now halfway over and over the course of the last six months I saw close to 90 films. Roughly a quarter of those films I enjoyed well enough to consider among my favourites of the year, about 12 of which I absolutely loved. In addition, a little over a third of my favourite…
