On Wednesday night, G4, the gaming network that aired from 2002-2014 and recently announced a revival, held a charity special that saw its previous lineup of hosts — Olivia Munn, Kevin Pereira, Adam Sessler, Morgan Webb, Kristin Adams and Blair Herter — reunite for a night of nostalgia and reminiscing.
But, at the very end of the special (benefiting G4’s multi-day Gravython effort), a hint at G4’s future, not its past, shown in the form of WWE star Xavier Woods, also known as Austin Creed, knocking down the door and saving them from a scripted dire situation. With that, G4 announced that Woods would be its first signed talent for the new version of the network.
For anyone following G4 since it announced its revival in July, however, the announcement probably didn’t come as too much as a surprise. Woods fought a vigorous social media campaign under the hashtag...

When you add a bit of sci-fi to the mix, however, those corset laces begin to loosen.

There’s a reverence for John F. Kennedy that sits deep in the American psyche. It’s commonly said that JFK’s assassination in 1963 signaled the end of American innocence, while his administration has come to be seen, by some, as a modern-day Camelot. But time has a habit of whitewashing history, while it’s human nature to grasp positives tighter than negatives. The Kennedys is an eight-hour miniseries (airing in four parts) that intends to show a different side to America’s First Family, as we see them rise to power while dealing with their personal and professional problems on the world stage. It became a controversial project earlier this year, after original broadcaster The History Channel refused to air it, claiming it wasn’t “historically accurate” enough — an excuse refuted by producer-director Jon Cassar (24), who publicly assured critics every script was checked by a historian for inaccuracies.

It's hard to believe that this film by Atom Egoyan had been the object of a controversy in the USA. In fact, remember that the MPAA rated this film Nc-17 for its few sex scenes. Aside from that detail, Where the Truth Lies is a seductive thriller that knows how to use each and every single asset of its script.
Vince Collins (Colin Firth) abnd Lanny Morris (Kevin Bacon) form an acclaimed comedy duo. At the end of the 1950s, they're at the top of their shape. The day before they perform at a telethon for children with polio (and survivors of it), Maureen O'Flaherty (Rachel Blanchard), a college student, is found dead in their hotel suite. Although Lanny and Vince are cleared, they call it quits and their career go into decline. Fifteen years later, Karen O'Connor (Alison Lohman), a young journalist, plans to write a book on what...

Now, let's get to the bottom of things: Childstar was actually a film that I was glad to discover because it made fun of many Hollywood executives who clearly like to insult people's intelligence. Besides, I never thought that Don McKellar was beyond many North American humorists' league. However, any praises for the film should stop there.
Taylor Brandon Burns (Mark Rendall), an American childstar, is sent to Canada to shoot a Hollywood blockbuster called The First Son, a film in which the president is saved from terrorists by his son (played by Taylor, of course). Besides, once there, Taylor learns that the production crew had designated Rick (Don McKellar), an indie film director, as his chauffeur. Although Rick detests Taylor's behaviour, which is comparable to that of a prima donna, he enjoys one aspect of his job: banging Taylor's single mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh) when he's not working.

Who is Kk Downey? Careful, that might be a trick question. Although we actually do discover who Kk Downey is, or isn’t, it probably doesn’t matter much in this wildly well-done satire of our culture’s sick fascination with fame and fortune and the nasty things some people will do to achieve an illusory success. Perhaps it’s best to say Kk Downey is also the imaginary door that opens into the dark world of money, power, fame and, oh yeah – ball-busting satire.
Our story revolves around the irresponsible and/or genius antics of two 20-something suburbanite losers, Terrance and Theo, who discover that sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for. You just might get it. Their quest to be...

TORONTO -- The Toronto International Film Festival on Tuesday tapped Olivier Assayas' Clean and Don McKellar's Childstar for high-profile screenings next month. Clean, which stars Nick Nolte and earned Maggie Cheung the best actress award at the Festival de Cannes when it bowed there, will receive its North American premiere in Toronto at Roy Thomson Hall. Childstar, which stars Eric Stoltz, Dave Foley, Gil Bellows, Brendan Fehr and Kristin Adams, will receive its world premiere as a special presentation in the coveted opening Friday night slot at the Elgin Theatre. The announcements came as Toronto festival organizers abandoned the former Perspectives Canada sidebar, which placed virtually all homegrown Canadian movies into one niche, and adopted a sink-or-swim programming policy that will see established Canadian directors featured alongside their international colleagues in sidebars like Contemporary World Cinema and Special Presentations.
