2/4	"[An] important but rudderless documentary." Posted Jul 18, 2008	Jihad for Love (2008)	81%
2/4	"There's a depth that is hinted at but constantly beyond Miron's reach." Posted Jul 11, 2008	The 4th Life (2008)	60%
2/4	"This is a case where style has not only trumped substance, but negated it as well." Posted May 9, 2008	The Unknown Woman (2008)	62%
3/4	"*Despite the racy content and the alarmist 18A classification, The Babysitters* is a remarkably restrained and decent film. It's polished, smoothly edited and shot with simple elegance.*" Posted May 9, 2008*	The Babysitters (2008)	28%
3/4	"The film's bleak but powerful ending is a wake-up call to Britain and a measure of the pessimism of Loach, one of its most trenchant critics. I fear things must be really bad over there." Posted Apr 25, 2008	It's a Free World (2007)	93%
3/4	"The doc may indeed be too cute for some, but Walker knows when to step back and let life, with all its harshness and disappointments, into the picture." Posted Apr 18, 2008	Young@Heart (2008)	88%
2/4	"*From storyline to characterization to style of comedy, everything about the directorial debut of former Friends* star David Schwimmer is a nod to accommodation, compromise and consensus.*" Posted Mar 28, 2008*	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
2.5/4	"A curious, provocative if unsatisfying little movie." Posted Mar 21, 2008	Married Life (2008)	57%
3/4	"The message, at least, is consistently and passionately delivered. But it's safe to say that this 90-minute flick doesn't require a very big thinking cap or much by way of analysis." Posted Mar 14, 2008	CJ7 (2008)	45%
2.5/4	"Its triumph is that of style -- gloriously and revoltingly tacky style -- over substance." Posted Mar 7, 2008	Viva (2008)	68%
1/4	"Methinks the movie theatres where Love and Other Dilemmas is playing will be as deserted as the Vancouver depicted in it. And frankly, fans of independent Canadian films are getting tired of these vanishing acts." Posted Feb 1, 2008	Love and Other Dilemmas (2008)	n/a
2/4	"*The makers of Untraceable* don't have that high an opinion of you.*" Posted Jan 25, 2008*	Untraceable (2008)	15%
3.5/4	"Spare, motionless and silent as a still-life painting. But what [director] Jia is documenting is nothing less than a civilization in a state of flux. Chaos wouldn't be an overstatement." Posted Jan 25, 2008	Still Life (2008)	91%
2/4	"Awesomely bad." Posted Aug 31, 2007	Death Sentence (2007)	17%
3/4	"It may look episodic and disgracefully low-budget in places, but there's also a theatrical quality in the way scenes are blocked, and punch lines delivered." Posted Aug 29, 2007	Balls of Fury (2007)	23%
2.5/4	"Whatever its flaws may be (and, frankly, they are legion), Raoul Ruiz's latest film is a biopic that mixes and matches visual and narrative styles boldly, wildly, madly enough to invigorate the genre, but not enough to save the movie." Posted Aug 10, 2007	Klimt (2006)	29%
2/4	"An equal-opportunity offender, slapping right wingers on the wrist while, much to said right wingers' expectations, reducing homosexuality to its lowest common denominators." Posted Jul 20, 2007	I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)	13%
2/4	"The end result of this showcase for Buscemi's writing, acting and directing chops is so uneven and mixed in small details and overall tone that it's anybody's guess if it's one for the Oscars or the Razzies next year." Posted Jul 20, 2007	Interview (2007)	57%
1/4	"Bolly Double replicates the broad strokes of Indian film but has nothing funny or intelligent to say about it." Posted Jun 11, 2007	Bolly Double (2007)	n/a
1/4	"*Feels like a mash-up of It's a Wonderful Life* and Xanadu, without the wholesome sweetness of the first and the campy excesses of the second.*" Posted Jun 8, 2007*	Angel-A (2007)	43%
3/4	"A sweepingly melodramatic and, in [director] Dahan's words, 'tragic, romantic blockbuster' of a movie that not only captures the (soap) operatic life of its subject with unflinching honesty but refuses to see her any other way." Posted Jun 8, 2007	La Vie En Rose (2007)	75%
2.5/4	"[Director] Gutierrez sustains a heightened mood of sex and violence that, without breaking new ground, entertains in the way Gothic flicks do: a combination of cheap thrills and a good old-fashioned crusade against evil." Posted Jun 1, 2007	Rise: Blood Hunter (2007)	36%
3.5/4	"Look at what else is playing in multiplexes across North America at the moment and, if you can find a film that entertains and touches as effectively, give us a call." Posted Jun 1, 2007	Knocked Up (2007)	91%
3/4	"It's one helluva movie that makes Ashley Judd look ugly and demented, while turning Harry Connick Jr. into the most frightening screen thug since Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast." Posted May 25, 2007	Bug (2007)	59%
3/4	"Both [main actresses] show their characters' growth while steadfastly and, sadly, unsuccessfully trying to hold on to the last vestiges of their innocence. If that's not the real tragedy of life in the Middle East, I don't know what is." Posted May 18, 2007	Close to Home (2007)	67%
2/4	"[Director] Mundhra can't control the expansiveness of the melodrama or focus on the terseness of realism. Every character in Provoked, from victims to tyrants, Indian to English, loud to quiet, ends up as a grossly exaggerated comic creation." Posted May 18, 2007	Provoked (2007)	27%
2.5/4	"*It takes more than a fan to analyze the legacy of a period. But a fan is just what it takes to indulge in that legacy, which is exactly what Broadway: The Golden Age* is all about.*" Posted Sep 24, 2004*	Broadway: The Golden Age (2004)	82%
