Aliens, robots and frenzied seductresses as the missing links of Canuckfilm? That sounds like a Canadian movie classic all its own.” - Peter Howell, Toronto Star
“Some sort of temporal-lobe-seizure-inducing form of trance technology, with Christopher Plummer pulling the levers.” - Adrian Mack, Georgia Straight
Prepare to face the power of the ultimate dimension!
Breaking out of their imaginary purgatory, a disagreeable crew of aliens invade Canada, using the tools of cinema as weapons in a battle for colonial domination.

Features “appearances” from dozens of familiar Canadian actors. Fasten your seat belts.
BONUS FEATURES:

- Yonge Street in the movies
- Kids on TV “Poison” video
- “Science Crazed” 5 minute digest
- Late Toronto Mayor Rob Ford explained with Canadian movies
- Interviews with Tax Shelter actors Lisa Langlois and Lesleh Donaldson
