We’re kicking off the Fantasia International Film Festival with a self-described “transgender holiday film,” directed and co-written by Alice Maio Mackay. There’s nothing like a good Christmas slasher in the middle of a humid Montreal July to offer a little bit of escapism. Carnage for Christmas is the first film in Fantasia’s ‘Underground’ lineup in…
Adriana and I have been watching more movies than we can write full reviews for, so it’s time for our second ever Review Roundup! These will be shorter than our typical reviews, but will still give you enough information to gauge whether these movies are worth checking out or not. Also, stay tuned for individual…
My love for horror has been well documented here on Screen Love Affair already, but to add a bit more to the lore, the slasher genre in particular is how I got into horror movies to begin with. Gram was watching Friday the 13th: Part VII in the guestroom and I, despite being scared, wanted…
Sports have never really been my thing, but I’ve always loved tennis. I’ve been watching it since I was about 11 years old, and though I don’t follow it religiously these days, it still holds a special place in my heart. So when I heard that Luca Guadagnino was making a sexy tennis movie starring…
This past Sunday was lovingly dubbed “Nunday Sunday” after a brief workshop between Adriana, Sam, Ty, and myself. Why? Well, because last Sunday we went to the theatre for a double-feature of The First Omen and Immaculate! I figured since I saw them on the same day and they’re far more similar than I expected,…
If you’re one of the few people, myself included, who watched and loved Rose Glass’s debut, Saint Maud, then you might have some idea of what you’re walking into with her sophomore feature Love Lies Bleeding. But this is also a very different movie. For one, it isn’t a horror movie (or is it?). It’s…
Look at this Photograph. Every time I do it makes me laugh. This is Ty and I acting like Animals at the Nickelback concert last year in Montreal. We figured they would Burn it to the Ground, but I don’t think we were ready for just how much fun we would have! I hope that…
Do you ever watch a movie that you think was made just for you? Well this is one of those movies for me. From the 70s era, to the late night TV setting, and some other things I won’t spoil here, I couldn’t have been more interested. Despite an exhausting week, I got enough energy…
Before I saw Dune: Part Two, I considered Denis Villeneuve one of the best working directors today. During my friends’ wedding week in Mexico last year (shoutout to Mr. and Mrs. Linhares) a group of us talked about movies and one of the questions we asked ourselves was “If you could only keep one director…
I started Screen Love Affair because I love movies. I love video games and TV too, but movies are definitely my biggest passion. The name I settled on was meant to reflect that love and passion. There’s nothing quite like staring up at that big screen and going on an adventure. Whether it’s an emotional…
