Ferris Bueller’s Day Off – Quickie Review
The film that single-handedly changed attendance taking forever. Modern classic which seems to play on a 24/7 loop on TV. While some of the jokes have lost their impact, the movie is as fun as ever. Highly addictive, once you start watching it, there is no stopping.
Nate’s 10 Words on Back To The Future
“I liked it. I was shocked when Doc got shot.”
Station Agent, The – Quickie Review
This movie is beautiful. Touching, brutally honest, and very funny. The entire cast is dynamite. A powerhouse, star-making performance from Peter Dinklage. I love this movie.
Porky’s – Quickie Review
If you’re reading this, then you already know why every teenage boy of the ’80s watched this movie, but it actually turned out to be quite funny. It’s the film equivalent of Hooters. Everyone knows why men go there, but they can use the delicious wings as a reason for going. It’s still hard to …

One of my favourite music films and easily one of the best Canadian made films, right up there with the other Canuck classics: Ice Flow Jungle, Maple Syrup Blues and Hockey Homicide.
What We Do In The Shadows – Quickie Reviews
Clever mockumentary about aged vampires sharing a flat in New Zealand while trying to live day to day in today’s world. Effortlessly charming and brutally funny movie sprinkled with comically over the top bloodshed. Very entertaining.
This Is Where I Leave You – Quickie Review
Extremely funny and often very touching comedic-drama featuring a phenomenal ensemble cast. I was surprised about how much I enjoyed this movie. While there is absolutely no need for a sequel, I hope for one just so I could see this cast perform together again.
