‘Midnight at the Paradise’ is a Love Letter to Film, Music, and the City of Toronto
'Midnight at the Paradise' premieres tomorrow at Toronto's Paradise Theatre! I had the pleasure to sit down with Vanessa Matsui to discuss the making of this film.

A hauntingly dark comedy that's possessed with everything from supernatural spectral sex to a six-man seance orgy. Heartthrob bachelor River North is finally closing on his new house. The only problem? He doesn't know the house is haunted by Johnny Donovan and Rogelio Fierce, a couple of dysfunctional ghosts who are hellbent on bringing everyone into their relationship drama. The gay spirits soon make their presence known though, as River begins noticing odd happenings and mysteriously sexual sounds around his new space. As River sets out to uncover the truth surrounding the paranormal activity in his home, he'll encounter gym hunk Evan Jordie, ripped pals Siren Santiago and Mike Monroe, reality TV ghost hunters Scott Braun and Crush Daddy, and hung psychic medium Jonzu.

This coming-of-age Mexican movie is about a group of school children who fulfill their dreams.
A South Korean romantic drama film that brings a strong first love story.
A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, though its feminism may be unintentional, cannot exist without its focus on women reclaiming power. The movie is feminist by definition, even if Amirpour didn’t write it with that in mind. A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is mesmerizing, poetic, and stunning, both for its portrayal of feminist ideas and its powerful story that is both horrific and subtly romantic at once.
As one of the women said in the film, friendship in your teens is “as important as any lover” and it’s clear they lived that philosophy throughout their early adult lives as well.
After We Collided is a sequel to last year’s After, which itself was based on Anna Todd’s 2014 novel of the same name, and which was originally published as a Harry Styles-centric fan-fiction on WattPad (a similar path as E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey series).
