The Tree. Movie Review by Andriy Mishchenko

Director Julie Bertucelli has taken a bit of a step back since 2003’s Since Otar Left. In this predictable production, Charlotte Gainsbourg puts in a strong performance, but she’s swimming upstream.

Rubber, as you may have heard, is a horror flick with a telekinetic car tire in its lead role. It’s also a sometimes hilarious examination of the movie-making process and where the audience and suspense of disbelief fits in. It [...]

If you see Li Hongqi’s film, Winter Vacation, please come armed with lots of patience. It’s not a bore, but you need to wait for things to develop. The screening I was in had lots [...]

Carancho (Vulture) is a good old-fashioned crime thriller, done right. Ricardo Darin is always a strong character actor, as we’ve already seen in Kamchatka, The Secrets in Their Eyes, XXY, [...]
Into Eternity. Review by Andriy Mishchenko
Saturday Oct. 9, 9:30pm @ Vancity Theatre (1181 Seymour St.)

Review by: Andriy Mishchenko
Yesterday, I felt very lucky. I went to the Jonsi show, his first concert away from Sigur Ros. I’ll just start by saying it did not disappoint. If you have a chance to see him at the second show tonight (Apr 7) or later this week in Seattle, GO! I don’t want [...]
Some have tried to label Vancouver as a city with nothing fun or interesting to do. Well East of Main knows this ain’t true and is here to change that! There are so many amazing off-beat and mainstream things to do around town including festivals, rallies, underground parties and dances, and random people-powered events.
East of [...]

Here at East of Main, we get real excited about Vancouver’s film fest each year. Hours of circling and double-circling the program + a healthy dose of gut instinct (trust us, our VIFF hunches have been pretty much right on in the past) = [...]
Friday was another busy day for East of Main at the Olio Festival - 4 venues, 5 shows. Thoroughly enjoyable and whoever’s in charge of this fest was wise to put all this stuff close by together. By bike, it was a breeze to get around.
