Feb 22, 2011. Cult Classics - Videodrome (1983). Or: Movie Review #8). Long Live the New Flesh! Ever since I watched Videodrome, it has been nearly impossible to keep thoughts of it out of my mind.

I should just write a review to get it out of my system! So here I am, doing just that. When the credits rolled.

https://nickplusmovies.blogspot.com/2011/09/tiff-2011-trishna.html
Sep 14, 2011. TIFF 2011 - TRISHNA. Reviewing this film will probably prove to be the most challenging effort of mine as a self-proclaimed film critic, simply because I feel that I will either give away too much or not say enough about it. Since I wish for you to live the same cinematic experience as I did with "Trishna", I will try my best to say as much as I can without letting you know exactly what to expect. What makes the ending so shocking, then? For the mere fact that what you're seeing in the back...

Sep 10, 2011. TIFF 2011 - LE HAVRE. I started off my experience at this year's Toronto International Film Festival with Aki Kaurismäki's "Le Havre", a rather obscure, small production that was competing for the Palme d'Or at Cannes (it was Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life" that was the big winner). The question is: Did I start off on the right foot? Read on to find out. No wonder these sights took me away. Three stars out of four. Toronto International Film Festival. View my complete profile.
