DEATH OF A LADIE'S MAN University poetry professor Samuel O'Shea (Gabriel Byrne, THE USUAL SUSPECTS) is an exuberant womanizer and enthusiastic drinker who has seen better days. His second marriage is ending, and his wife and children are at their wits’ end. More disturbingly, he has begun seeing things: Frankenstein sidles up to the bar, strangers sing and dance to Leonard Cohen tunes, his much-missed father, who died when he was just a boy, pops up for chats. At first, he thinks it could be the drink, or perhaps he’s gone mad, but soon discovers he has a brain tumor. Reflecting on the life he has lived, Sam retreats to his family shack in remote Ireland to take stock of his life and work on that great novel he always meant to write, fortuitously meeting and falling in love with a local woman who is full of unexpected ideas.

HARPOON theatrical premiere

Rob Grant’s HARPOON gets a theatrical release this week, and has received some great press in places like GQ and IGN. It was especially gratifying to read this NNNN review in NOW Magazine, the Toronto alt-weekly I grew up reading.
