Forced to
repeat her
senior year in
high school,
Claire's reputation is sliding from badass to bad
joke. At night,
she escapes
to would-be
rock star Jim.
While at
school, she
bonds with Henry, a nerdy freshman
she used to babysit. Eventually, Claire
learns the difference between sex,
intimacy, and friendship. A strong
principle cast, with Tatiana Maslany (a
Regina native and series “Orphan
Black” star) really standing out.
Picture Day won that year’s Whistler
fest prizes for Best Actor and Best
Canadian Feature, and much more
recognition. 93min 2012 R (Language, drug, and sexual content)

This is a glowing adaptation of
Robyn Davidson's memoir of the
same name, chronicling the
author's nine-month journey with
camels across the Australian desert. An exotic (to us) setting, a
woman finding herself on a perilous solo journey (like current hit
Wild), a kind of love story - all well
adapted in a feature film. It’s fascinating to follow up the real people
after this real journey ended. Let’s
go “walkabout”. 112min 2013

Based on his bestselling memoir of the same name,
Life Itself explores the impact and legacy of Roger
Ebert’s life, from his Pulitzer Prize-winning film criticism at the Chicago Sun-Times to becoming one of
the most influential cultural voices in America. If you
love movies you will have loved Ebert’s reviews and
especially his long running TV critiques with Gene
Siskel. “Thumbs up, Thumbs down”. The grace with
which he lived with the loss of his lower jaw and audible voice to cancer surgeries in early 2000s was
amazing, and in 2007 his writing began appearing
again with more followers than ever. 120min 2014 R
I never really “got” Michael Jackson
while he was alive. This film, (a dvd
scavenged from another closing
video store), won me over to being
one of his fans. This is a behind-thescenes look at the performer as he
developed, created and rehearsed for
his sold-out concerts that was
planned to begin in summer 2009 in
London. He died just 18 days before
the planned opening. “This Is It" captures the singer, dancer, filmmaker,
architect, creative genius, and great
artist at work as he creates and perfects his final show. 2hr 2010 Pg
