Hey folks, Harry here... along with Anton, ArtSnob is our longest and most loyal correspondent from the Toronto International Film Festival. Both of these films are highly anticipated and will no doubt be films to be reckoned with in the Fall / Award Season. And this lucky bastard has already seen both. Dagnabbit. Here you go:

Hey folks, Harry here - I'm dying of curiosity to see MARTYRS and BROTHERS BLOOM. Tim League has been bending my ear about the awesomeness of MARTYRS ever since he saw it at that infamous screening outside the festival at Cannes. And as a huge fan of BRICK and again - having my ear bent by Quint since his long ago set visit, I've been curious beyond words to see what it's all about. If you don't know these films - well, giver our starkinder Anton a read and tremble with curiosity, like me!
Martyrs (2008, directed by Pascal Laugier)

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a couple more reviews out of Toronto, the first a sci-fi comedy sounding thing involving (possibly) time travel called FETCHING CODY, the second a sword-play flick out of Asia called DUELIST! Enjoy!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with Anton Sirius continuing kick-ass coverage of Toronto. Of the plethora of reviews below, I have to say I'm most happy about his ROMANCE & CIGARETTES review. The last one I posted wasn't too positive, which made me sad si

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here to present Batphantom's newest batch fo kick-ass reports from Toronto! Let me state for the record right now that my heart will be broken if John Turturro's ROMANCE & CIGARETTES is a failure. Broken into itty bitty pieces. T

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with another batch... got Soderbergh's BUBBLE, Hark's SEVEN SWORDS and a bunch more for you. It seems this reviewer had to skimp out on the ending of THE QUIET in order to have enough buffer time to make their next movie. Un
