The ninth Jesse Stone movie reveals that the title character's best friend Reggie the Dog has passed away, which is even more tragic thanks to a behind-the-scenes story. Reggie appeared in seven of the nine Jesse Stone movies, with Tom Selleck's police chief adopting the golden retriever mix after he is found next to the body of his previous owner. The two developed a fascinatingly dysfunctional relationship, where they showed little affection for one another but were closely bonded anyway. This is what makes the reveal of Reggie's death in Lost in Paradise so moving.

In the opening scenes of the ninth film, Jesse stands by Reggie's grave and states ”It took so long to acknowledge a connection, admit there was a bond... Life plays tricks on you." While audiences had previously seen major characters like Viola Davis' Molly exit the Jesse Stone series, the loss of Reggie cut especially deep.

Canada Day only comes once a year and what better way to appreciate this northern paradise than with a movie that takes place within our borders. After all the eating, drinking, barbecuing, and partying, it's nice to kick back, relax, and take in a Canadian classic. We've got a list of some pretty great ones! So take a gander below and check out a few movies that take place close to home.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Based on Canadian Bryan Lee O'Malley's popular graphic novel series, director Edgar Wright condensed a seven-part saga into one epic, Toronto-set film. From notable places like Casa Loma, concert venues like Lee's Palace, and famous intersections like Bloor and...

Xavier Dolan may have been miffed that his "Mommy" was left off the list of finalists for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, but he's surely pleased today that his film led the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television's film slate. It picked up 13 nominations total. David Cronenberg's "Maps to the Stars" was also strong. Check out the full list of nominees below. Winners will be revealed on March 1.

Canada has a wealth of cinematic talent, and always has. From our comedic genius to our often cerebral approach to filmmaking, this country has a lot to be proud of.

Of late, and especially this year, Canada has really dominated the movies landscape. Our homegrown actors (Sarah Gadon, for example) and directors (Xavier Dolan, "Mommy") have been everywhere, earning accolades around the world. Movies shot within our borders have won rave reviews and received praise from the highest-ranked critics and film festivals.

Perhaps most outstanding is our growth. No longer are we satisfied with melancholic snow landscapes (though sometimes those still appear); we've branched out, and we're trying new things. Here, in no particular order, are my favourite Canadian movies and moments of 2014.

"Mommy" Knocked Our Socks Off

Young Canadian director Xavier Dolan has been getting accolades from critics, pundits and moviegoers from a very young age, so it's no...

The summer movie season is officially over, and this weekend we finally head into fall. Most of these impending new releases are vying for that elusive Oscar gold or any other semi-prestigious award being presented. We start this cinematic journey by looking at all the upcoming movies September has to offer. This first fall month is a little overcrowded, promising a fine mix of genre fare. We have a couple of Academy worthy dramas making their debut, an untested family franchise starter, a handful of comedies, yet another Ya novel adaptation, an action epic based on a cult classic TV show, the return of an iconic trio and one independent coming-of-age shocker that promises to push the boundaries of everything that has arrived before it. Hold onto your seats...

Here are this September's can't miss releases:

1The Longest Week

The third film installment in the cult favorite series, "Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It" has been nabbed for distribution by Screen Media Films, the same distributor as the first two "Trailer Park Boys" films. Based on the popular Canadian television series, the trilogy follows the escapades of Julian, Ricky and Bubbles played by John Paul Tremblay, Rob Wells and Mike Smith. Theatrical release is anticipated for September 5, 2014 nationwide, with accompanying VOD release date to be announced. In this installment, the three get involved in a marijuana deal, and their business is threatened by the impending legalization of the drug. They hit the road to Ottowa to fight the movement and keep their illegal profit-maker illegal and profitable. Bubbles, less invested in the lobbying effort than his friends, tags along in order to pursue his supposed inheritance from his long lost parents.  The madness that ensues is brought to you...

eOne Films has released a trailer for Warren P. Sonoda's upcoming comedy Swearnet: The Movie. The film follows the Trailer Park Boys stars Mike Smith, Robb Wells, and John Paul Tremblay, who are fed up with being censored in their post-Trailer Park Boys lives and decide to start their own uncensored network on the internet. Their latest project Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It will hit Canadian theaters this weekend starting April 18th, with both Swearnet: The Movie and Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It available for streaming on Netflix this summer.

Swearnet: The Movie comes to theaters in 2014 and stars Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay, Mike Smith, Patrick Roach, Tom Green, Scott Thompson, Mishael Morgan, Jessica Rimmer. The film is directed by Warren P. Sonoda.

Canada's favourite trio is back on the big screen with "Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It," and it's almost like they never left us.

After taking a brief hiatus from the world of cinema, Ricky, Julian and Bubbles have returned to tell the story of how they all found their way back to each other. At the start of the movie, things aren't looking good: Bubbles is living under J-Rock's porch, Julian is selling "clean" pee for drug tests, and Ricky is relatively successful with his marijuana grow-op business -- until the Canadian government says they're contemplating legalizing the drug, thus rendering his livelihood obsolete.

Moviefone Canada caught up with the boys at their Toronto hotel to talk about "Don't Legalize It," Toronto Mayor Rob Ford running for re-election, and their thoughts on Justin Bieber's legal troubles.

While a teaser for Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It dropped back in December, it didn't show us too much from the further adventures of Ricky, Julian and Bubbles (Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay and Mike Smith) as they join together on a mission to keep weed from being legalized in Canada. Today, we get the raunchy Red Band trailer, which shows off more of their exploits while saving the best stuff for cinema screens. After Trailer Park Boys: The Movie and Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day, they promised they'd never make another movie. They lied. In (Canadian) theaters April 18.

The Canadian TV series Trailer Park Boys and its two feature films only continue to grow in popularity, having reached cult status here in the states on Netflix, where all of their past adventures (save for the special that bridges Season 7 and Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day...

After Trailer Park Boys: The Movie and Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day, they promised they wouldn't make another movie. They lied! Ricky, Julian and Bubbles are back in their third big screen outing, Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It, which is in (Canadian) theaters April 18. We have the first trailer (which debuted back in December for you Canadian folks), and the first poster, which doesn't reveal too much as the boys scheme to keep Marijuana from becoming legal in Nova Scotia. If you're not completely caught up yet, the entire series and both movies are currently streaming on Netflix. No U.S. date has been announced, but it will be here soon.

Out of jail and broke, Julian concocts an outrageously greasy scheme to get rich and, to make it even greasier, he will have to deliver his product to his arch-enemy, Cyrus, who's waiting in Montreal to close the dirty deal.

This is some "high concept" art right here.

The "Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It" poster has been released -- and it's epic, as we all expected it to be. Julian, Ricky and Bubbles will be back just in time for 4/20, 2014, with their third movie release date set for April 18.

In a trailer released in December 2013, the boys get up to their old get-rich-quick schemes, concocting a way to save Julian's dope-growing business from the government's plan to legalize marijuana. Note the Government of Canada logo at the bottom -- seems like Canada is really getting behind its boys!
