March 6, 2011September 26, 2012 Doug Groves Animation Festival, Cineplex, screening, Sick and Twisted, Spike & Mike1 Comment

If you like animation, but haven’t heard of Spike & Mike, I’d be surprised. Their Festival of Animation has been running in various formats since the mid 1970’s, and has introduced animation fans to a number of artists that later went on to bigger things, such as Mike Judge, who’s “Frog Baseball” featured an early version of Beavis & Butthead, Bill Plympton (a personal favourite), Trey Parker and Matt Stone and many others. In short, Spike and Mike know good animation, and love sharing it. In the past, the touring…

Best Worst Movie screening tomorrow

October 6, 2010October 7, 2010 Doug Groves Best Worst Movie, canada, double bill, Michael Stephenson, screening, theatre, Troll 21 Comment

I’ll have to admit that I never made it all the…

The Q & A session with director of Submarine, Richard Ayoade and the cast (Craig Roberts, Yasmin Paige & Sally Hawkins). Though I am only attending a handful of films at this years TIFF, Submarine was one of my must sees. Richard Ayoade (many of you might know him as Moss from the IT Crowd) brought his debut feature to Toronto, and this Q & A shows how funny he is in person. Yes I AM the guy who asked the the last question from behind my camera, and was…

February 22, 2010 Doug Groves Bloor Cinema, Pure Pwnage, screening4 Comments

Really, the image says it all, but even with the switch from hit web series to TV show, the gang at Pure Pwnage are keeping the premiere screening tradition alive. You can catch the first 3 episodes of the new TV show on the big screen at the Bloor Cinema (that’s in Toronto for the n00bs, which is in Canada for uber n00bs), on Saturday March 20th starting at 6:30pm. The first 2 episodes will have aired on Showcase by then, which means you’ll be getting to see the 3rd…
