A collection of satrical rants and ramblings from budding local authors.
What's on screen?
Have you ever been thoroughly disgusted after shelling out a shitload of coin on a film that came highly recommended by a supposedly reputable critic? That was my experience when I happened to catch The Hunger Games after hearing Robert Fontaine's film review on CBC Radio One's All In A Day.
Anyone who actually thought The Hunger Games was a good flick, should likely stop reading right here. However, anyone else, with a modicum of taste, who recognized it as insufferable trite that pandered to the lowest common denominator may actually find some of this recommended content woth your time.
