This week on End Credits, we’ve got pitch! Our movie this week combines a love and appreciation for both classical music and classical crime in the new indie thrill Tuner, which you can now see in a theatre near you. And for something completely different, we will take the opportunity to mark some our favourite war movies as a new one also enters theatres.
This Wednesday, June 3, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss:
War Movies Are Hell. This week marks the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, and not coincidentally there’s a new movie in theatres that’s about the weatherman who provided the forecast for the invasion (it’s called Pressure by the way). So in that spirit, we will talk about some our favourite war movies, but with a twist: each of our picks have to be from a different war! From the trenches of the Great War to the deserts of Afghanistan, we will prove again that war movies are… you know.
REVIEW: Tuner (2026). It’s a story that’s been told several times: Down on his luck guy with a special skill finds success in a life of small time crime until things go horribly wrong and he wants out! In Tuner, that’s Niki who’s extreme hearing sensitivity makes him an excellent piano tuner… and an excellent safe cracker. From Academy Award winning documentarian Daniel Roher (though it’s not a documentary), Tuner is being sold as a crime movie with a heart with a talented new leading man at it’s centre, but is this new take on an old story pitch perfect, or does it hit a sour note?
End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
