"Inception is that rare film that can be enjoyed on superficial and progressively deeper levels, a feat that uncannily mimics the mind-bending journey its protagonist takes." - Washington Post
"Intelligent and imaginative Inception is eye bending and mind bending in equal measures." - Sydney Morning Herald
"This endlessly fascinating swirl of a film could have come only from Nolan, who blends the cerebral twistiness of Memento (his thriller that moves backward in time) with the spectacular action of his Batman megahit, The Dark Knight." - Newsday

In search of the perfect Christmas present for Billy, his teenage son, Randall Peltzer comes up with a "Mogwai". But, this otherwise sweet and furry pet companion comes with a warning: should its unwise owner break the three fundamental guidelines of owning such a unique creature, all hell will break loose. Of course, Billy disregards the strict rules, and as the once-adorable animal spawns terrifying minuscule critters, the suburban haven of Kingston Falls is under siege. Now, there is no turning back, and destruction is at hand. Is there an escape from this endless Yuletide nightmare, and the horrible menace of the Gremlins?

Brotherhood - Special Opening Night Event
Friday, August 28th 7:00pm
Premiere Screening With Actor Evan Marsh
Introducing the Film and Doing a Q&A to Follow!
Brotherhood recounts the true fight for survival a group of young men had to endure following a dangerous canoe trip in Kwartha in the 1920s. Canadian director Richard Bell cuts back and forth from early woodsy hijinks to the boys’ fight for survival, accompanied in both by their adult camp leaders, played by Brendan Fletcher and Brendan Fehr. These are men who have survived the Great War and the flu pandemic that followed; many of the boys’ fathers were not so lucky.
The film is awash in period detail, like the luminous Ingersoll Radiolite sported by one of the boys. “Keen wristwatch,” another chirps. And there’s a mention of the recent South Pole expedition and the fate of Lawrence Oates, which proves eerily prophetic.
But the story is also (unfortunately) timeless; clinging to the side of an overturned boat in frigid waters is not a century-specific activity, and the rugged, dangerous beauty of the Canadian Shield is similarly eternal.
Even our current concern about kids getting back to nature isn’t new; when one of the counsellors mentions the possibility of tuning in to Sam ’n’ Henry, a popular radio sitcom, the other berates him: “The point of all of this … is to get them as far away from electrical sockets as possible. I think electrical things put us further from ourselves.”
That said, this modern talkie tells a powerful story worth experiencing in theatres. (source: Chris Knight, National Post)
"Bell succeeds in stripping back the mythos of what it means "to be a man" and how strong one can really be while embracing compassion, vulnerability and love instead"- Anne T. Donahue, The Globe and Mail
"An entertaining survival adventure"- Jim Soltek, Original Cin
