VIFF: Altitude

Altitude is not a scary movie. Or a believable one. I'm not spoiling anything if you go to the website--you don't even have to watch the trailer. But the movie succeeds in other areas: the youthful actors look good and can act (I would actually like to see them in a movie which offers better dialogue than, "Sarah, do something" on repeat); the movie has a slick but appealing style; and some sharp editing creates the claustrophobia of a small plane. If you enjoy B-movie disaster schlock, like me, this is an enjoyable 90 minutes.

VIFF 2024: Blink

Blink is a documentary film from National Geographic, which follows a Montreal family with four children, three of whom have retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic condition causing gradual loss of vision and probable blindness. They decide to set out on a trip around the world, in order to fill their children’s visual memories, so that they can at least recall the world and its wonders.
