Nurse.Fighter.Boy

I caught the amazing film Nurse.Fighter.Boy when it played at TIFF last September. I loved it for many reasons and felt an instant connection to it (it might have been the boy with a single mother or the fact that it was shot in the East end of Toronto or maybe it was just because it's a great film). I recommended it as one of my top five films to be seen during the festival and jumped at the chance to interview the director (Charles Officer) and some of the cast.

Now that the film has opened in Toronto and Vancouver I thought it would be great to get Charles back in front of the camera talking about the locations he used in the film. Check out video below and read the article here.

Enjoy.

If you're in Toronto catch Nurse.Fighter.Boy at the Royal or AMC Yonge & Dundas.

Food blogging

No, BAMCAT is not about to become a food blog (a food blog with "cat" in the title doesn't sound appetizing to me). This post is about a friend who is food blogging and doing a great job at it. Interesting articles (not just recipes), frequent updates and a love of the topic she's blogging about all make it an excellent source. Plus it's called Plum Tart which just sounds cool.

Check it out and let her know what you think in the comments.

Neil Gaiman Interview/'Coraline' Review

We started a new feature on CityNews.ca today called His Take/Her Take. This is a weekly movie review from a male and female perspective. First film up is the 3D stop-motion animated film Coraline (it rocks and everyone should see it). You can read the review here.

My partner-in-crime Suzanne also got to talk to Neil Gaiman (who wrote the book Coraline) about his thoughts on the adaptation. You can watch the interview below and read it here.
