Tim Basaraba – After covering SIFF (the Seattle International Film Festival) the last two years, it’s time to tackle VIFF. This week, my wife and I are venturing north with NadaMucho.com Editor Matt Ashworth for our first trip to the Vancouver International Film Festival, scheduled for September 28 through October 8.
Peter Cameron – This film kinda sucks, but I think it’s great. Let me explain.
Peter Cameron – Fuck. Five Easy Pieces is awesome! I don’t even know where to begin. Let’s start with Jack. His character, Robert Eroica Dupea, isn’t heroic. In fact, the character has very little character. But that comes primarily from Nicholson’s charm.
Tim Basaraba – If you have read my film reviews over the years, you’re probably sick of me mentioning the importance of “Optimum Immersion.” I certainly don’t want to spoil anything about director Ira Sachs’ (Frankie, Little Men) excellent 2023 film Passages, so I will keep this succinct and do my best to entice you to see the film without giving too much away.
Tim Basaraba – Fool’s Paradise, the directorial debut from Always Sunny in Philadelphia star and co-creator Charlie Day, was one of my most anticipated films of 2023. Now that I’ve seen this embarrassment of riches, it’s likely to be my greatest disappointment of the year as well.
