Paranoid Park (2008)74%

"Concentrating on the story of Acrassicauda, Iraq's sole metal band, filmmakers Moretti and Alvi reveal the heart-wrenching circumstances for the people caught between the occupiers and the militias." -- eye WEEKLY
Posted May 9, 2008
 
Heavy Metal In Baghdad (2008)91%
/
1.5/4
 
"Though frantic from the get-go, A Previous Engagement rarely finds its feet. Devoid of the fine balance of grace and chaos necessary to any screen farce, the proceedings are slapdash, repetitious and badly overextended." -- Globe and Mail
Posted May 9, 2008
 
A Previous Engagement (2008)35%
/
1/4
 
"Intended as a farcical tale of love in a tropical locale, 14 Days in Paradise is far too sloppily conceived and executed to do more than strain viewers' patience." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Apr 28, 2008
 
14 Days in Paradise (2008)n/a
/
0/4
 
"A bland, timid and thoroughly un-thrilling teen thriller." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Apr 14, 2008
 
Prom Night (2008)8%
/
2/4
 
"Puerile and idiotic it may be, but Superhero Movie is nonetheless smarter than most of its lowbrow brethren in the Hollywood sub-sub-category known as the spoof movie." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Mar 31, 2008
 
Superhero Movie! (2008)13%
/
2/4
 
"While Bassett's performance deserves a better forum than Perry can provide, she gives his latest movie a sense of dignity its predecessors lacked." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Mar 24, 2008
 
Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns (2008)31%
/
2.5/4
 
"Thoughtfully crafted but ultimately lugubrious, Green's latest only really connects when the director sticks to the small stuff." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Mar 21, 2008
 
Snow Angels (2008)67%
/
2/4
 
"That so little of the movie bears the inventiveness, charm or rude energy of the team's last look at teen life suggests this particular well of inspiration has already run dry." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Mar 21, 2008
 
Drillbit Taylor (2008)26%
/
2.5/4
 
"College Road Trip may be mawkish and predictable, but some well-staged gags and several memorable contributions by supporting players keep the sap from getting too sticky." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Mar 7, 2008
 
College Road Trip (2008)14%

3/4
 
"Engrossing and often harrowing." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Feb 15, 2008
 
The Ants (2006)n/a
/
2.5/4
 
"Doesn't measure up." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Feb 14, 2008
 
Step Up 2 the Streets (2008)25%
/
2.5/4
 
"Lawrence [has] rarely been more appealing. That's partly because this latest incarnation of his usual persona is more vulnerable and likeable, but mostly it's a relief not to see him strain so hard to Bogart all the jokes." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Feb 8, 2008
 
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)24%
/
1/4
 
"A comedy like this needs actors with crack timing, a script that's worthy of them and an overall spirit of effervescence. But save for Rudd's occasional displays of sarcasm, there's little here that raises a smile, never mind a chuckle." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Feb 1, 2008
 
Over Her Dead Body (2008)14%
/
2/4
 
"Initially promising for its attempt to situate Asian supernatural motifs within a North American context, They Wait is itself too derivative of its own movie ancestors to yield fresh scares." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Jan 25, 2008
 
They Wait (2008)40%
/
2/4
 
"Viewers of Imitation may feel as if they've been kept in the dark for too long." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Jan 11, 2008
 
Imitation (2006)n/a
/
2/5
 
"Though several battle scenes have surprising flair -- Hong Kong fight choreographer Tony Ching obviously came in handy -- the movie’s too turgid to qualify as campy fun for more than a few fleeting moments." -- eye WEEKLY
Posted Jan 11, 2008
 
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)5%
/
2/5
 
"The film somehow ends with religious conversions that leave out any mention of the Almighty." -- eye WEEKLY

"Give this call a miss. " -- Globe and Mail

"The details just get stranger and stranger." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Jan 4, 2008
 
Deep Water (2007)96%
/
1/4
 
"That the first of many rote 'chest-burster' shots occurs 15 seconds into the movie is but one indication of the latest instalment's poverty of fresh shocks and rank air of desperation." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Dec 28, 2007
 
Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)14%
/
2/4
 
"An incoherent mess in which scenes of teary reconciliations sit uncomfortably next to protracted gags involving catfights, car wrecks and a big bottle of baby oil." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Nov 23, 2007
 
This Christmas (2007)54%
/
2.5/4
 
"As it stands, Zemeckis's movie is only the beta version of the blockbuster of the future, ridden with imperfections that will presumably be corrected in later upgrades." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Nov 16, 2007
 
Beowulf (2007)69%
/
3/5
 
"Best-in-show citations go to shorts by Manoel De Oliveira and David Cronenberg." -- eye WEEKLY

To Each His Cinema (2007)100%
/
1/4
 
"The third in the modestly successful franchise spawned by the ultraviolent video-game, Resident Evil: Extinction provides little in the way of satisfying explanations or, for that matter, satisfying anything." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Sep 24, 2007
 
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)22%
/
3/4
 
"Sunflower succeeds as both a moving family drama and a microcosm of China's social history since the 1970s." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Sep 21, 2007
 
Sunflower (2005)64%
/
1.5/4
 
"The most depressing thing of all is that Michael will likely survive even this dire endeavour." -- Globe and Mail

About Last Night... (1986)86%

"It's to the great credit of Tran and his cast that the movie has such immediacy, gracefulness and power." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Aug 17, 2007
 
Journey From The Fall (2007)92%
/
2.5/4
 
"The personalities of the players also contribute energy. They are an immensely charismatic bunch." -- Globe and Mail

Gypsy Caravan (2006)85%

4/4
 
"Hard to beat that title, ain't it?" -- eye WEEKLY

Your Mommy Kills Animals (2007)91%
/
2.5/4
 
"Run Robot Run! should reassure viewers that they need not fear the new mechanical beings who will soon be part of their lives. They're better off watching out for the co-workers they have right now." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Aug 10, 2007
 
Run Robot Run! (2006)100%

2/4
 
"Viewers who make it through the dire early scenes may be surprised by the quality of the later ones." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Aug 10, 2007
 
Skinwalkers (2007)15%
/
4/5
 
"More surprising is how lushly romantic the film seems now -- even the frostiest qualities of the director's volatile aesthetic are warmed by the Riviera sunlight and the presence of Karina at her most beguiling." -- eye WEEKLY
Posted Aug 9, 2007
 
Pierrot Le Fou (1965)76%
/
4/4
 
"A smart, comprehensive doc." -- eye WEEKLY
Posted Aug 6, 2007
 
Your Mommy Kills Animals (2007)91%
/
4/5
 
"The vitality Vitti displays makes her absence deeply felt in the film's infamously ambiguous final scenes." -- eye WEEKLY
Posted Jul 31, 2007
 
The Eclipse (1962)87%
/
1/4
 
"The controversy may have piqued the curiosity of horror fans but the film is undeserving of any further attention, managing to be both nastily unpleasant and laughably ludicrous." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Jul 13, 2007
 
Captivity (2007)7%
/
2.5/4
 
"Vitus's cool intelligence, knotty narrative and precise performances make it a pleasure to watch even when it sends mixed messages about the true nature of its protagonist." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Jul 13, 2007
 
Vitus (2007)64%
/
2.5/4
 
"Boy Culture is an undemanding but sufficiently engaging serving of smut and sentiment. As such, it reclaims territory that queer cinema has largely ceded to TV shows like Queer as Folk, The L Word and Six Feet Under." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Jul 6, 2007
 
Boy Culture (2007)70%
/
3/5
 
"The script's wry humour and Kwan's sure touch with her cast save it from becoming too sombre or too sentimental. In fact, she's created something rare: a family movie that makes keen observations about family life." -- eye WEEKLY
Posted Jun 20, 2007
 
Eve and the Fire Horse (2006)83%
/
2.5/4
 
"Love Is Work has no shortage of verve and the movie's most revealing moments achieve some of the raw power you find in John Cassavetes's like-minded expeditions into the darker recesses of the human heart." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Jun 11, 2007
 
Love Is Work (2007)n/a
/
4/5
 
"Isabella Rossellini's second collaboration with Guy Maddin is a delightfully odd tribute to her director father Roberto." -- eye WEEKLY
Posted May 8, 2007
 
My Dad Is 100 Years Old (2006)100%
/
5/5
 
"The geographical shift from Tsai’s familiar Taipei to his homeland of Malaysia results in both a revitalization of those elements and a new level of visual beauty. The stunning final shot makes it a masterpiece." -- eye WEEKLY
Posted May 8, 2007
 
I Don't Want To Sleep Alone (2007)88%
/
4/5
 
"It's impossible not to think of the many other 'green-card soldiers' -- desperate Latin Americans offered breaks on permanent resident status in exchange for military enlistment -- who've paid the highest price for a shot at a better life." -- eye WEEKLY
Posted Apr 24, 2007
 
The Short Life of Jose Antonio Guiterrez (2006)92%
/
4/5
 
"The film's slow, sublime vistas elicit questions about our relationship with the natural world, which is never as straightforward as we might hope." -- eye WEEKLY
Posted Apr 3, 2007
 
Los Muertos (2004)100%
/
1.5/4
 
"Director Martin Weisz does an adequate job of maintaining the movie's tension and momentum, but the lack of compelling characters and the unusual level of nastiness makes this an arduous mission for all involved." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Mar 26, 2007
 
The Hills Have Eyes II (2007)12%
/
2/4
 
"The trouble with Pride is that it sticks so close to the sports-movie playbook that it never comes alive." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Mar 23, 2007
 
Pride (2007)46%
/
.5/4
 
"The movie's uninteresting characters, boneheaded dialogue and flagrantly nonsensical narrative detract considerably from the virtues of the visual design." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Mar 20, 2007
 
Dead Silence (2007)18%
/
4/5
 
"It's not hard to appreciate the film's gentle pace, mesmerizing imagery and subtle but rich panoply of sounds, as well as its insights about the human drive to lose the trappings of the world and assume a godlier disposition." -- eye WEEKLY
Posted Mar 1, 2007
 
Into Great Silence (2007)89%

2/4
 
"The lead actors make Perry's didacticism easier to take." -- Globe and Mail
