Under the Radar Films – Evil Dead Trilogy (Sam Rami) When I was a child growing up in the 80s and early 90s, horror films were what brought my family unit together (except Dad who hated them). A confusing time indeed, both my grandmother and mother were obsessed with slasher films and
It’s time to talk to you about Dine Around Freddy.

CHSR Under The Radar Films American Movie (1999) Director Chris Smith The term ‘independent’ filmmaking has become non sequitur…maybe it has always been. The once insurmountable dream of making a feature length film has recently become a reality. Not to undermine or ignore the essential elements of craft or skill required to make anything of
The Conversation (1974) – Coppola Not many people are aware of Francis Ford Coppola’s film, The Conversation. I suspect there are a few obvious reasons why the film is somewhat overlooked in Coppola’s oeuvre. For one, it was produced between the epic masterpieces The Godfather 1 & 2. The Conversation is formally more experimental

Tim Rayne’s Mini Review: Tonella – Compromise (EP) Tonella is a band that happens to be fronted by Tonella Roy. A Fredericton four piece rock outfit that mixes genres with a hard rocking foundation, catchy pop melodies, and soulful crooning. Backed by strong production, the Compromise EP easily shifts from intimate piano ballads to hard
Now this is one congregation I wouldn’t hesitate to join.

The Damn Truth is my latest obsession. A rock n’ roll band from Montreal, they infused elements of blues and classic rock to bang out their latest album Dear In The Headlights. Imagine mixing together The Black Keys with a dash of The White Stripes. They tackle the “throwback to the ’70’s sound” without taking
