#EDITORSNOTE: STAY TUNED. STAY SAFE.
Hey everyone!
You've probably noticed things have been quiet around here of late. With theatrical releases being halted and theatres being shut down as we face these challenging times with COVID-19, things like our Reviews and weekly Box Office weekend reports will be halted until further notice. We look forward to delivering more promotions for Advance Screenings soon again as well as more theatrical release updates, which you might understand are a little slow of late. Believe me, I was ...

#EDITORSNOTE: A LOOK BACK AT THE 2010S
As we approach the end of this decade, let's take a look back at some of our favourite memories from the past ten years! I started out late 2009 as a Blogger and never could imagine all the memories that would be created nor all the opportunities the Website would afford me. Back in 2009, we were standing behind the barricade as a fan and in 2019 we are now one of the City's red carpet staples whether it be TIFF or a Movie Premiere.
People ask me all the time how I juggle several hats and to ...

#EDITORSNOTE: MR. WILL’S BEST-OF 2019 LIST
If there was ever a year that contained highs and lows for me, 2019 was that year. My heart was broken losing my best friend and companion Billy in March. Since then there have been good days and bad days. I try to keep myself occupied always as it keeps my mind off things and I've decided this was the way I would cope. The Holidays this year will be extra tough and while I appreciate people quick to comment, "Just get another dog, you have so much love to give", it really isn't that easy. I am ...

It was such a great year for Film that it's near impossible for me to choose the Top Ten. I could have easily made a Top 30 list (if it was allowed). However, I managed to squeeze in ten films, ...

#EDITORSNOTE: MR. WILL’S BEST OF 2018 LIST
2018 will go down as one of the best years in recent Cinema. While I'm not loving the current sound of what's dominating the airwaves, there were a few Pop Gems that filled my heart and ears with joy. Those of you who are following me on Social Media know that my year was all about A STAR IS BORN. I had few expectations of it at the beginning of the year, but then came the Trailer in June and then came news of it premiering at TIFF '18. Seeing it at the Festival, my year and life would be ...

#TORONTOSTRONG: TORONTO MOURNS VICTIMS OF VAN ATTACK
Like the rest of us in Toronto and around the world, I too still am trying to come to terms with Monday's tragic events. While tragedy may have crippled our City, our bond, compassion and love for Toronto ultimately will prevail through crisis and I saw it in some of the makeshift memorials put together by the Community in Willowdale.
Mourners gathered at Olive Square Park (just south of Yonge x Finch) and at Mel Lastman Square (North York City Centre) with flowers, candles, ornaments and ...
