    DVD Tuesday: ‘Lives of Others’, ‘Ugly Betty’

    by W. Andrew Powell August 21, 2007
    by W. Andrew Powell August 21, 2007

    Topping this week’s list of new DVDs is the Academy Award winning film The Lives of Others, by first time director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. Starring Martina Gedeck and Sebastian Koch as a couple living in 80s-era East Germany, the film deals with the troubled years when the German government employed surveillance and control over the population through the secret police known as the Stasi. A true political drama, the film has been widely praised by international critics for the way it handles both the politics and the human story.

    Romero’s ‘Diary of the Dead’ at Midnight Madness

    by W. Andrew Powell August 20, 2007
    by W. Andrew Powell August 20, 2007

    Great horror films, and top thrillers, have been unspooling at the Toronto International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness for the past twenty years. Since 2003 alone moviegoers have enjoyed cult classics like Bubba Ho-Tep, Borat, Hostel, and Underworld, to name a few. And this year at the 2007 Midnight Madness ten new films, including George A. Romero‘s Diary of the Dead, will make their debut.

    Film Friday: ‘Superbad’, ‘Invasion’

    by W. Andrew Powell August 17, 2007
    by W. Andrew Powell August 17, 2007

    What tickles your fancy this weekend? A movie where teenage friends try to score booze for the big party, an A-list thriller where an alien virus tries to reprogram the human race, or maybe a sword and sandal adventure about Rome’s last emperor fighting to save his empire? Let me give you a hint; the only film that’s getting good reviews involves high school.

    ‘Invasion’ of the failed remake

    by W. Andrew Powell August 17, 2007
    by W. Andrew Powell August 17, 2007

    Let’s play a little game. What do the following films have in common: Ri¢hie Ri¢h, House of Wax, Ghost Ship, Cradle 2 the Grave, and of course, The Invasion. If you guessed that they flopped at the box office and were awful films, you’d be partly right (The Invasion hasn’t flopped yet). The correct answer is that they were all produced by Joel Silver and they all feature his telling ability to Hollywood-ize any story.

    2007 CNE kicks off today in Toronto

    by W. Andrew Powell August 17, 2007
    by W. Andrew Powell August 17, 2007

    Another summer is almost behind us, and Fall can’t be far away. That’s at least obvious from one of the ultimate signs of the season as the 2007 Canadian National Exhibition kicks off today at 10:00 AM.

    Yes, The Ex is back for another year and while it might signal the end of patio season it’s also a great time to see the sights, jump on a ride, and buy a few Tiny Tom donuts on the Midway.
