Over the course of our more than 15-year existence, FSR has published thousands of reviews. We have reviewed movies from film festivals like Sundance, SXSW, TIFF, and Cannes. We review new theatrical and streaming releases. We even have two recurring columns — Previously On and Up Next — in which we review new and returning TV shows. And just as a fun fact, we used to give out letter grades with our reviews.

It’s been said that there’s no such thing as an original idea. Variations on the plots perhaps, but the basic tales have all been told. And that’s true, but those variations can sometimes make it seem like you’re watching something completely fresh and utterly original. Which brings us to Pontypool.

If there’s one thing movies have taught us it’s that fat funny guys can get hot skinny chicks. If there’s one thing more relevant to the new film The Last House on the Left, it’s that remote vacation destinations, while beautiful, are quite often death traps just waiting to kill you and your family.

Good solid acting, some amazingly professional camera work, and a quirky story set it apart as an indie that will hopefully gain some ground and pick up distribution along the way.

Paris, je t’aime and the upcoming New York, I Love You are two examples of anthology films, but nestled in between them is the new film, Tokyo! Two French directors and one Korean take turns telling stories that attempt to explain if the city defines it’s people or if the people define the city.
