UFC 115 Predictions

Is this Chuck Liddell's swan song? That's the big question coming into UFC 115. With a 1-4 record in the last 3 years, the Iceman's best days are clearly behind him, but against a more appropriate level of competition (3 of those 4 losses were to champions in their prime) ...

Youth In Revolt

In Youth In Revolt, Michael Cera takes a huge risk by playing against type as... an awkward teenager who can't get laid. Based on the popular 1993 novel, the story centres around Nick Twisp, a goodie-two-shoes dork who develops an evil alter-ego in order to woo the one he loves ...

UFC 114 Predictions

After nearly a year of racial insults, homophobic slurs, death threats and gift-giving (Snuggies, chickens etc.), Quinton Jackson and Rashad Evans will finally duke it out tonight at UFC 114. With a title shot on the line and a whole whack of pride, this fight will have some serious consequences ...

UFC 113 Predictions

Epic rematch. That is the story of UFC 113, as the most anticipated rematch since Liddell vs. Couture II, will headline an absolutely stellar card from Montreal this Saturday night. If it lives up to even half of its hype, Machida vs. Shogun II should easily take the title for Fight ...

Repo Men

Imagine a world where cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and many other life-threatening maladies could all be erased...for a fee. Repo Men is set in a future Toronto, where modern medicine has developed mechanical organs that can seamlessly replace their flesh counterparts, ensuring sick people can continue to live healthy, happy lives. ...

Hot Tub Time Machine

One of the most ridiculous movie concepts ever conceived of, Hot Tub Time Machine, is well aware of it, and uses that suspension of disbelief to deliver a highly amusing, albeit silly-as-hell comedy. Perfectly cast, particularly John Cusack who's spoofing the same films that made him famous, the characters (or caricatures) ...

UFC 111 Predictions

The main course in a 3-event offering, UFC 111 features two title matchups one of which features the long-awaited return of Georges St-Pierre who hasn't competed since injuring his groin at UFC 100. Also, top heavyweights Frank Mir and Shane Carwin are squaring off for a shot at Brock Lesnar, ...

Most Hardbossin’ Films of 2009

When compiling a list of the best anything of a year, a little distance goes a long way. Taking a few months to catch up on the gems you missed and rewatching your favourites from a 12-month period tends to paint a much clearer picture, allowing the cream of the ...

The Disarming Persona of More or Les

More Or Les has a wry sense of detachment in the way he promotes himself. He is quick to acknowledge a populist stance on hip-hop as a listener (he cited years, not artists when asked about his musical influences). He is also not the slightest bit reluctant to suggest that he has ...

UFC 110 Predictions

For the UFC's first venture into Australia they have put together a throwback to the days of Pride with a card riddled with former stars from the now-defunct promotion. Tonight's event features many interesting matchups, title shot implications and a sense of excitement that has been lacking from the last ...
