Film review: Bad Milo!
Wednesday January 22nd 2014Bad Milo! can really only be described as a violating experience. It has some of the most awkward, cringeworthy scenes and yet it’s so well written, such a gem-like gathering of comedic talent, that you cannot stop watching. And so you sit there horrified, entertained, feet held to the flames shouting things at the screen like, “Oh! Dude.” because it’s too good to look away. This is not your parents’ horror rom-com. If you missed this film’s screening at Fantasia or The Toronto After Dark Festival then you are in luck because it’s out on DVD, Blu-ray and VOD in Canada as of January 21, 2014.

Paramount first Hollywood studio to abandon film prints
Tuesday January 21st 2014Paramount has become the first major Hollywood studio to abandon showing its films on print, and commit itself to entirely digital distribution. According to a report in the LA Times, the studio has quietly made Martin Scorsese’s stockbroker-excess fable The Wolf of Wall Street the first Hollywood film to be released entirely on digital formats in the US – ironically as Scorsese has spearheaded attempts to preserve decaying film prints in national archives around the world.
