The Perfect Thanksgiving Movie
Thanksgiving: a time for good, comforting food. A time to get together with family. A time to be thankful for what you have and want you've gained throughout the year. A time for some football. A time before the busiest shopping day of the year. A time when the weather changes significantly. A time to travel.

'Jigsaw' Review
The Saw Franchise has become synonymous with gore, torture, and violence. Many, though not its own creators, would credit it with starting the modern resurgence of splatter films — colloquially known as "gorno" or "torture porn." As the franchise has progressed, great pains have been taken to assure that newer, more involved, more spectacular traps provide carefully rendered murder. These visuals are hung on an over-the-top, occasionally verging on comical, interconnected frame of parallel plots that follow the trials of the jigsaw victims in his elaborate trap and a related outside world story.

Untold Stories From the Set of 'Fifty Shades of Grey'
"Out of everyone that could have walked in, it had to be him." I want to say it was four years ago in the middle of November. I remember that morning being one of the coldest we had yet. I had to stand on the side of the road for three hours before the sun came up. By the time it actually rose, I couldn’t feel my toes. Half frozen and starving, our shoot day had barely even begun. Great. We were shooting at a restaurant in Stanley Park, Vancouver B.C. I believe it was the scene where Dakota Johnson or Anastasia Steele was having a lovely brunch with her mother, telling her about her new love interest.

Is It Time for 'The Walking Dead' to End?
I remember when I used to be excited for each Sunday, anxiously awaiting the next episode of The Walking Dead. However, with the show now in its eighth season, I've found myself far less interested and less invested in the plot and the show's many characters. My interest in The Walking Dead has waned to the point where I debate whether I should even watch it all any more. With the show's viewership declining, it's time to ask what's gone wrong and why our favourite zombie show isn't as good as it used to be.

The Snowman Review
The setting for the film, The Snowman, is stunning. Harsh Scandinavian countryside is the perfect setting to bring out the hard dimensions of a murder mystery. The sweeping, massive scope of the landscapes lends a real sense of remote-ness and danger to the locales and characters. This is complimented by the low light and hardscrabble settings in which the film takes place. All of this allows for complex and vital characters to stand up and stand out in crushing circumstances.
