Posted by Dan Stasiewski on May 23rd, 2009
Twenty-year-old Xavier Dolan saw his debut feature, I Killed My Mother, sweep the Cannes Directors’ Fortnight awards yesterday. The semi-autobiographical film follows gay teenager Hubert (also played by Dolan) who has, shall we say, a contentious relationship with his mother. Okay, he loathes everything about her. The awards (three in total) hopefully mean that I [...]

Top Story: Fox’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the opening film of the summer movie season, is now available for download. Illegally. And its just a rough cut. The film leaked online this week. If the rough cut is good, I’ll blame this one on Fox. Way to market the picture to geekdom. If it’s bad, you [...]
