Hi everyone, MattCanada here with another weekly dose of gay cinema. This week we're looking at Philadelphia , the Oscar winning courtroom drama, essentially the defining Hollywood response to the AIDS epidemic. I first saw this film as a kid. I must have been about seven when I watched it with my parents and it was definitely my, and probably many other people's, introduction to AIDS. For me it continues...
This past week I gathered a group of gays and we huddled into the illustrious Chelsea Cinemas on 23rd st. to see 2012. While it is always a pleasure to see John Cusack reprise his role as everyman Tom Hanks the real treat was my first glimpse of the upcoming movie Avatar . This trailer was made to appeal to gamers. The first few seconds I could have sworn I was witnessing a live action crossover of...

After last week’s TechEd Europe in Berlin, this week I am starting to feel like Tom Hanks character in The Terminal! You know the one where he’s wondering around the airport in his dressing gown.

However, unlike Big, which held appeal for adults and children, this film will clearly only appeal to audience members below the age of 10.

NEW YORK – Tom Hanks is down with the single ladies. Hanks first racked his brain when asked for his favorite tune of 2009 while backstage at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 25th anniversary concert Thursday. Then, the song came to him — though he didn't know all the words. "Dada-dada ring on it! Dada-dada ring on it!" he sang, as he tried to remember. "That is a damn fine song, the Beyonce song ...
