Find Out Arnold Schwartzenaggers All-Time Favourite Film…I had to…it was that or get back to work.

The King of Comedy remains one of Scrosese’s outlier films from his catalogue like After Midnight or Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore. It doesn’t deal with New York City crime families nor would it be considered an epic tale. Large sections of the film are confined to the imagination of Rupert Pupkin, the film’s lead character.
Brandon Vasko talks about his band The Maximum Chill between sets at La Petite Marche in Montreal.
“Look, you work your side of the street, and I’ll work mine…” Bullitt is one of those films where I’ve seen its poster since I was a kid but I hadn’t ever seen it until just before tonight. The poster is intriguing and tells much of the story in just its image. This film is …

How in the sweet tea shit did I get back here I thought to myself. As I begrudgingly tied a half-hearted knot behind my apron. Back in a kitchen again, only now a little older and a bit more bitter. I can’t tell you how many kitchens I’ve worked in, I truly couldn’t. Enough to make me an expert I suppose.

“There’s two different ways to look at it, Billy just wants the models and limousines and I’m happy with hookers and taxi cabs.” It’s a line that sounds like it could come from the mouth of Ricky from Trailer Park Boys, however Joe Dick predates the character.
“Do you still get paid when you lose?” Last night I watched a film that I’d stumbled across in searching for some fresh Canadian cinema. I set out to find the more unearthed Canadian films for no more reason than my own curiosity and with little effort I came across Clearcut…
