Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Feb 21, 2018
As a “franchise” Cloverfield certainly has an odd history. The first movie, simply titled Cloverfield, was a found-footage take on the kaiju/giant monster/Godzilla genre. To be honest, although there have been found footage movies that I’ve enjoyed, I wasn’t a fan. Then came read more

We’re crazy about C.R.A.Z.Y.
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Feb 12, 2018
8 years before he made his debut in Hollywood with Dallas Buyers Club and 12 years before he won an Emmy Award for Big Little Lies, Jean-Marc Vallée released what is, for me, one of the best French-Canadian films ever made: C.R.A.Z.Y.
