Tom Hardy as Charles Bronson
One of Tom Hardy’s early signature roles was playing the real-life prison toughie Charles Bronson in the 2008 film Bronson.
To play Bronson effectively Hardy underwent a rather unique workout regime.
Sarah wrote about said workouts for Fightland.

Where To Invade Next
Sarah was on assignment covering the 2015 Toronto Film Festival this year for Consequence Of Sound.
Michael Moore’s new return-to-form film Where To Invade Next premiered at the fest and it was “a very good op-ed in favor of America’s ability to live up to its potential and build itself into a country that actually represents the idea of liberty and equality that it’s espoused for so long.”

High Rise
Sarah was on assignment covering the 2015 Toronto Film Festival this year for Consequence Of Sound.
One of the films she was particularly excited about was Ben Wheatley’s new effort, High-Rise. She says, “Film nerds, degenerates, and the sizable middle of that Venn diagram will be arguing about it for years to come.”

Ninth Floor
In 1969 six students of Caribbean descent attending Sir George Williams University in Montreal accused one of its professors of being a racist.
When the school inadequately addressed their accusation it sparked an extended sit-in on the ninth floor of the school’s computer building.
A suspicious fire, riot police, arrests and some peculiar agent provocateurism later, the result was one of the ugliest racial incidents in Canadian history.
Vancouver filmmaker Mina Shum recently revisited this not-well-known event for her new documentary, Ninth Floor.
I talked to her about it for Samaritan Mag.

Trumbo
Sarah was on assignment covering the 2015 Toronto Film Festival this year for Consequence Of Sound.
After watching Trumbo, the story of blacklisted commie writer Dalton Trumbo, she said “it’s a shame that the film about his life often feels less like a worthy tribute than something that would have benefited from his substantial rewriting skills.”
