Focus  (2015) A Review by Grant Kanigan Directed by:  Glenn Ficarra & John Requa Written by:  Glenn Ficarra & John Requa Starring: Will Smith, Margot Robbie,               Adrian Martinez, Rodrigo Santoro Rating: 14A Release Date: February 27th 2015 B.D. Wong, Will Smith and Margot Robbie place their bets in Focus © 2015 - Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.     There's an old saying, which posits that nobody will ever know the what the greatest heist is, because nobody will ever know it took place .

It's with this in mind, and the spirit of the Halloween season that I present my favourite * horror films:  THE TOP TEN HORROR FILMS OF ALL TIME by - Grant Kanigan - 10. The Blair Witch Project, (1999):         Although it may seem dated in the post- Paranormal Activity age, hand-held, first-person films weren't a thing until this 1999 masterpiece of low-budget scares hit the scene. Writer/Directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez hit cinematic and box-office gold with their film, fooling audiences into thinking the "project" was real; a simple, believable myth, non-actors having their wits pushed to the breaking point, and a mysterious video, so oddly shot, it had to have been shot ...
