They say drunk people, children and fools always speak the truth. No word is truer than that of a drunk foolish kid, as Gasoline Rainbow proves. The docu-drama hybrid is a warm-hearted look at five naive teens going on a road trip, beer and weed in hand, to have one last big hang out before adult responsibilities call. As it gradually becomes apparent, though, these teenagers might also need an escape from a harsh life at home, having had to deal with more than a kid possibly should have to deal with. As someone says profoundly: "The only difference between adults and kids is that adults are ..read more

Raven Banner has shared word that they are launching sales of Steven Kostanski's latest horror comedy, Frankie Freako. Production wrapped on the flick back in August and now it is time to unleash Kostanski's ode to little monster horror-comedies from 80s on the rest of the world.    It tells the story of workaholic yuppie Conor Sweeney (star of “The Editor” and “Father’s Day”) whose perfect life is turned upside down when he accidentally unleashes a trio of tiny trouble-makers into his home, led by the maniacal rock-n-roll party monster FRANKIE FREAKO.

2023 was an excellent year for Quebec cinema, and it's great to see more of these films getting release outside my province. And it's especially great to see more genre fare, lending new twists to old tropes. Coming in with a lengthy yet apt title, Ariane Louis-Seize' Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person is not your average vampire film, nor comedy, nor romance. It finds the humour in some of the more mundance logistics of how vampires have to life, while looking at two teens who are still figuring out if life is worth living at all, especially if one is immortal. Sasha (Sara M ..read more

It was also a time of great experimental ci ..read more
