The New Romeo and Juliet
Marissa | April 22nd, 2013

The Return Of A Cinematic Legend
Kuma | April 16th, 2013

Lawrence shocked the soul because there was no special effects, no whizz bang stuff. Only breathtaking cinematography, a priceless script and Peter O’Toole oozing life in every scene.

Getting Deeper into Deepa Mehta
Claire | April 8th, 2013
Deepa Mehta is a filmmaker who takes risks. An Indo-Canadian (born in India, now living in Toronto, Canada) who has deep ties to her past country’s history, she has been pegged as one of the most promising new directors, dedicating herself to strong storytelling in hopes of provoking dialogue about the issues she explores in her films. Most renowned for her Elements trilogy of Fire (1996), Earth (1998), and Water (2005) which explore issues such as homosexuality, war, rebellion, revolution, chance, betrayal, and India’s treatment of widows, Mehta’s films blur the lines between fiction and nonfiction Read More

Is it cool to still talk about Django Unchained? I’d damn well hope so.
