Happy Canada Day! Here’s a quick history lesson, Canada came to be on July 1st, 1867 and we celebrate this birthday every year during a day we as Canadians call Canada Day. This year is special as 2017 marks the 150th anniversary of Canada.

Classic Review: Turbo Kid (2015)
Since I’ve started this site, I’ve written a lot of reviews. In case you missed some of my earlier ones, I would like to share an older review of “Turbo Kid” which originally appeared here.
Better Than All The Rest (The Best Movies of 2015)
I hope you’ve figured out the inside joke.
With 2015 at an end, there’s no better time to take a look back at the films this year and pick 10 of the best (as many others have done). If you are curious, I already did so once before near the middle of the year. You can see for yourselves how many films from that list remain on this one. Just to make it fun/challenging for me, I have provided roughly 100-word reviews of each (of course links to full reviews will be provided). For those wondering why The Revenant and The Hateful Eight are not on this list, I will not be able to see them until 2016.
Turbo Kid Review
This is my 200th post/105th movie review!!!
In the post-apocalyptic future of 1997, a young man known only as The Kid (Munro Chambers), is a young solitary scavenger who is obsessed with comic books, primarily that of a superhero known as Turbo Rider, must face his fears and become a reluctant hero when he meets a mysterious girl named Apple (Laurence Leboeuf). Despite their efforts to keep to themselves, Zeus (Michael Ironside), the sadistic and self-proclaimed leader of the Wasteland, continues to plague The Kid and Apple. Armed with only his faith and an ancient turbocharged weapon, known as The Turbo Glove, The Kid learns about justice and friendship as he embarks on a journey to rid the Wasteland of evil and save the girl of his dreams.
