What if I told you that many of the ailments killing North Americans today, such as some forms of cancer, heart diease, stroke, and diabetes could be reversed by making one simple change. What is that change, you might ask? Simply put, it's eating a diet consisting of solely plant-based foods.
Popcorn flicks. Escapist fare. Event films. Summertime is the time of the blockbuster.
Submarine is a dreary, coming-of-age tale of a young bloke in Wales trying to keep his parent's marriage together while getting himself laid for the first time. I left before the end of the screening, so that should tell you what I really think. Life is too short to watch dull, indulgent, unsympathetic, sad characters live their meaningless lives.

Maybe the first success story from Chicago's legendary Second City comedy enterprise, Alan Arkin has been a fixture in American film ever since his break-out role in Norman Jewison's The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming.
Shocked by thunder? Marvel's favourite deity hammers his way from the silver age to the silver screen for the first time.
Two Irish brothers in Brooklyn, NY. The year is 1975. This is where and when I grew up so I can say with certainty that John Gray, the writer and director of White Irish Drinkers, has completely captured that world verbatim. This movie is completely authentic and true to the period. It was painful for me to watch, like looking at a car wreck, but I couldn't look away.
Make sure you've got the popcorn popped, a soda in hand, and a comfy seat, because once you enter the grid you won't want to leave.
On April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin, became the first human ever to travel into outer space. Exactly fifty years later, First Orbit was released to celebrate this historical event.
Slick, cool movie about a depressed, struggling writer (Bradley Cooper), who transforms his life with a smart drug, a little clear pill called NZT. It's like cocaine to the 100th power except instead of "thinking" you're smart and witty - you actually are. This illegal pill allows you to use 100% of your brain and with that, the world is yours for the taking.
