Blockbuster season is here and everyone is apparently buying tickets to everyone else’s films, posting them on social media, and then probably not going.
I do like seeing those celebrities staging their photo op in front of a multiplex’s wall of posters, though. Show those designers some love. Though it’d be even better if they used interactive standees. Give me Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise with their heads sticking through holes above Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling’s cardboard bodies. That would truly be inspired.

You probably won’t see Christopher Nolan and Cillian Murphy continuing the trend, but the poster Bond created for their film Oppenheimer is a good one. It feels like a nightmarish dream sequence with J. Robert Oppenheimer standing in a world of dark portentous clouds of his own making. There’s beauty in the horror of what that image represents...

Canadians have long defined themselves through the game of ice hockey, some more than others. Despite the NHL success of such Black Canadian players as Grant Fuhr, Tony McKegney, Devante Smith-Pelly, Wayne Simmonds, Darnell Nurse, Evander Kane and P.K. Subban, the nation’s winter pastime has remained a bastion of whiteness.
With the documentary Black Ice, screening at TIFF, executive producers Drake, LeBron James and Maverick Carter attempt to shine a light on the racial disparities that have plagued the sport for decades. The 97-minute film travels back and forth in time to chronicle the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes, which was based in Nova Scotia and, from 1895 to 1925, essentially barred Black players from playing alongside whites.

It was 2003 before a Black hockey player had the honor of being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. That player was Grant Fuhr, the Stanley Cup-winning goalie of the Edmonton Oilers and multiple other teams (including a short stint with my hometown Buffalo Sabres). Because he was far from the first Black player in the league, however, you wouldn’t be faulted for wondering why the man with that unique distinction hadn’t already been enshrined. The reason was simple: Willie O’Ree only played forty-five games with the Boston Bruins. For a league that has consistently rewarded production above most everything else, that sample size never would have popped out to the voting boards. Where Jackie Robinson is a household name beyond baseball, O’Ree was almost forgotten.
So it’s only fitting that Laurence Mathieu-Leger’s documentary Willie would surround O’Ree’s long-overdue bid for induction...

Making Coco: The Grant Fuhr Story: Trailer Premiere For Doc About Hall of Fame Goaltender Grant Fuhr
Normally sports documentaries are not something that we cover here at Screen Anarchy. However, I find that I have to write about Making Coco: The Grant Fuhr Story, a documentary about Edmonton Oilers goaltender Grant Fuhr, as an act of patriotic duty. So this is not because I am an Oilers fan. God forbid, I grew in Vancouver, British Columbia, and you did not cheer for either team from the province of Alberta even if your life depended on it. I do however recognize that that Edmonton Oilers team of the 80s was a dynasty team for the ages, that few teams would do what they have done in the modern age of hockey. Part of the reason for their enormous success was the goaltending feats...
