I profiled Nick Hornby for the Post when he was here last fall promoting his new novel, Juliet, Naked. It was during TIFF, and his film, An Education, was at the festival, so he talked a little bit about that too. In honour of the Oscars, I finally posted the Q&A.
In Wednesday’s National Post I chat with Clem Martini, co-author of the new graphic memoir Bitter Medicine. I also talk to filmmaker Sean Garrity about his latest movie, Zooey & Adam.
In today’s National Post, I review a film about Norwegian black metal, and one about the music of the civil rights movement.
I’m on the Popcorn Panel discussing The Hurt Locker over on The Ampersand.
A bunch of little things: a terrible Hot Tub Time Machine event at the Air Canada Centre; the first installment of The Afterword Reading Society; our inaugural Lost Panel.
In today’s National Post I review The Yes Men Save The World.
A few things in today’s paper: my final cultural lesson — of memes and Mentos; SARS wasn’t the viral hit of the decade after all — appears, as does my list of movies of the year. Also, I take part in this week’s Popcorn Panel. The movie? Avatar, which made my top 10. Also, over on The Ampersand, you can find my pick for album of the year.
In Wednesday’s National Post I explore the resurgence of 3-D, and over on The Afterword I chat with Shortcover’s Michael Serbinis about new e-reading service Kobo.
In today’s National Post I review I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. Hint: it’s terrible.
In today’s National Post I review Drey Barrymore’s directorial debut, Whip It, and look at Michael Moore’s latest incendiary documentary, Capitalism: A Love Story.
