Classic films & Cageian extremes continue at the TIFF Bell Lightbox, ballet tiptoes to the NFB Mediatheque, authentic Japanese kabuki is broadcast in HD at Cineplex’s Front Row Centre Events, the Bloor Cinema is set to reopen in March, and Abel Gance’s Napoleon returns to the big screen in a 4-day engagement because Francis Coppola saw the widsom.
Just uploaded, an interview with Journey 2: The Mysterious Island composer Andrew Lockington, plus reviews of Journey 2 (Water Tower), John Williams’ Adventures of Tintin (Sony Classical), Alberto Iglesias’ Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (Silva Screen), and Jerry Goldsmith’s Tora!

As the TIFF Bell Lightbox begins its latest retro – a full-on salute to French filmmaker Robert Bresson – I’ve added a review of A Man Escaped (1956).

Just uploaded is a lengthy interview with Twilight Time co-founder Nick Redman, and related reviews of Twilight Time’s swanky Blu-ray of Ray Harryhausen’s Mysterious Island (1961), plus a review of Bernard Herrmann’s original soundtrack recording. Also packed into the Editor’s Blog – a lengthy editorial on the illusion of value that’s being sold with existing MOD programs.
