10/10 bl00d. Such a cool storyline, reminded me of a movie that I have yet to see but desperately want to because it stars Joseph Gordon Levitt (Looper). Picture this: high-tech bio-insertions to commit the perfect assassinations. As this killer is moving from body to body, she loses her sense of self.
Insanely awesome B-roll for the transfer scenes, like the wax dripping from one face to the other is so genius. So cinematically beautiful.
Watch this film if:
You enjoy artsy gore
The main character is fighting a losing battle

Johnson gives BlackBerry the slick tech biopic treatment (think The Social Network but Canadian) based on the book Losing the Signal about the Waterloo, Ontario-based creators of the eponymous smartphone device, Research in Motion (RIM). It's an unlikely story of total non-players outside the major consumer electronics industries somehow starting and then dominating mobile telecommunications for a brief window of time.
The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella.
I’m an emotional, sensitive and empathic person, and I tend to seek out films which will make me think, move me to tears and tell a narrative that resonates with me. However, I have a good barometer for films that are trying too hard to tug at my heart strings and doing just a little too much to get an emotional…

Justin Chatwin are un rol secundar în thriller-ul ‘Sweetness’, debutul regizoral al cineastei canadiene Emma Higgins
Proiect nou la orizont ! Justin a fost distribuit în thriller-ul independent Sweetness, regizat de cineasta canadiană Emma Higgins (foto), care debutează aici în lungmetraj, aceasta fiind şi autoarea scenariului. Kate Hallett şi Herman Tømmeraas deţin rolurile principale.
Pelicula o are în prim-plan pe Rylee Baker (Hallett), o adolescentă de 16 ani care visează la dragostea starului pop Payton Adler (Tømmeraas). Şansa face ca cei doi să se întâlnească, iar cand Rylee descoperă că Payton este dependent de droguri, decide să-l ajute. Însă ceea ce a început ca un plan inofensiv degenerează în ceva mult mai sinistru, adolescenta dorind să-şi vadă visul devenit realitate.
Justin va avea un rol secundar, alte detalii nefiind dezvăluite. Din distribuţie mai fac parte şi Steven Ogg (The Walking Dead / Invazia zombi), Aya Furukawa (The Midnight Club / Clubul de la miezul nopţii) şi Amanda Brugel (The Handmaid's Tale / Povestea slujitoarei).
Filmările vor demara pe 15 aprilie 2024 în North Bay, Ontario, Canada, şi se vor finaliza pe 8 mai 2024.
Proiectul este finanţat de compania de productie canadiano-americană Fela (înfiinţată de Director X) şi We Were Kids Entertainment, cu sprijinul Telefilm Canada. Daniel Quinn şi Taj Critchlow servesc ca producători.
Elevation Pictures va distribui filmul în Canada, în timp ce Altitude Film Sales se va ocupa de vânzarea peliculei la nivel internaţional.
Hallett şi-a început cariera în urmă cu doar doi ani, câştigând aprecierea criticilor datorită prestaţiei din lungmetrajul multipremiat Women Talking (2022).
Norvegian la origini, Tømmeraas este în plină ascensiune mulţumită rolului Fjor din serialul Netflix Ragnarok. Acesta a mai avut apariţii în lungmetrajele Leave (2022) şi Birthday Girl (2023). Este impresariat de Lindberg Management.
Născută în Vancouver, British Columbia, Higgins are o experienţă vastă în scurt-metraje şi videoclipuri muzicale, aceasta regizând clipul No One in the Room al artistei Jessie Reyez, ce a fost recompensat cu premiul pentru videoclipul anului la Juno Awards în 2021.

"BlackBerry" tells the tale of the time when Canada had the world in the palm of its hand, then suddenly lost its grip
More than Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s Nike “Air” story from earlier this year,”BlackBerry” is the one business movie that manages to tell the tale of the corporate underdog. This film shares similarities with “Air,” but manages to tell a more complete and realized narrative and is more character driven.One of the notable aspects of “Blackberry” is the involvement of writer/director Matt Johnson,…
Door Mouse. Is She Squeaky Clean in this Whodunit?
It's time to catch a Door Mouse! This #Canada made #neonoir #thriller bu @AvanJogia has moments to like, and we got a #moviereview on why this story matters!
Available in select theatres and digitally starting on January 13th
Elevation Pictures
Door Mouse has plenty of Quinten Tarantino and punk rock vibes in its story about Mouse (Hayley Law), a comic book illustrator whose only real paying job is that of a burlesque performer. But when her colleagues get kidnapped, she becomes a gumshoe with a mission–to protect her sisters from the hood. They…
Eco-horror done so well. I adored the message of returning to the earth (whether we like it or not), thus restoring the planet to its former glory.
Sonically beautiful. I was absolutely entranced with the orchestral meeting the organic. Cicadas paired with strings. Creaking trees with percussion. Mushroom spores with soft keyboards?! Such a genius choice and executed so well.
This was such a gorgeous marriage of the Romantic and the Grotesque. So many shots of the Natural in such an intimate way, it yielded a viscerally feeling of connectedness. Adored it and detested it.
Watch this movie if you:
Love the horror and the natural colliding
Similar titles:
The Road (2006) (book about post-apocalypse, very similar eerie feeling, man vs. nature)
Midsommar (2019) (the folk/natural horror goes hand in hand with this one)
I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :

(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )
