Film & Event Review: The Big Lebowski Second Annual Big Bash
Endlessly quotable, over the top and ridiculous, The Big Lebowski is simply put, a comedy classic, and the event is a must for lovers of the film to dress up, drink milk kahlua and vodka, and have a good old time with some fellow nuts.
Film Review: Pacific Rim (2013)
Raleigh (Charlie Hunnam) and Yancy (Diego Klattenhoff) are brothers, pilots, and rock-stars. They have no marketable skills in the real world, but in post apocalyptic aliens vs giant robots world, their ability to hold their own in a fight makes them super human rock-stars.
Film Review: The Lone Ranger (2013)
For a producer, Jerry Bruckheimer sure does leave his mark on pictures. The Lone Ranger is a classic wild west tale, much as the Pirates of the Caribbean series is a classic pirates-on-the-high-seas franchise, and it has all the action, and violence, you would expect from a wild west, with a little humour thrown in for good measure.

Film Review: The Great Gatsby (2013)
Though the highly anticipated release of Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation has been met with stern objection, lovers of the novel will find this newly imagined The Great Gatsby plays more like a love letter to Fitzgerald, thanking him for creating a tragically beautiful tale that transcends the ages and is relevant in a social context, even today.
Film Review: Happiness Never Comes Alone (2012)
Happiness Never Comes Alone is a perfect date night movie with a fantastic soundtrack, many references to cinema classics such as Casablanca, West Side Story and Singin’ in the Rain, and old school physical comedy so perfectly timed it elicited a rare out loud chortle from this humble reviewer on more than one occasion.
