Sully

"Efficient and effective in Eastwood's experienced hands, 'Sully' has interwoven a crisp and electric retelling of the story of the landing we know with a story we do not." - Kenneth Turan, LA Times

Gimme Danger

14A

"If ever a rock icon warranted documentary treatment, it’s Iggy Pop, the Godfather of Punk, who has pushed performance beyond the brink, without a flick of compromise, and lived to tell the tale." - Brian D. Johnson, Macleans

“Gimme Danger, Jim Jarmusch’s documentary about Iggy and the Stooges, is a movie that pays scrupulous and affectionate tribute to a band that, at the time, looked like a sideshow of sociopathic freaks. Now they seem like nothing less than the defining progenitors of the CBGB era.
