An affectionate if largely unsatisfying exploration of the musical genre's evolution." — Globe and Mail Posted Oct 31, 2008 |

| Jellyfish (2008) | "
Thematically, it's extremely precise, and one of its most compelling themes is the failure, or uselessness, of language." — Globe and Mail Posted Aug 8, 2008 |

| Bottle Shock (2008) | "
For all of its intermittent, crowd-pleasing charm, oenophiles (and cinephiles, for that matter) might be better off putting their money toward a good bottle of Robert Mondavi." — Globe and Mail Posted Aug 6, 2008 |

| Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (2008) | "
With a Buffy-like title and a poster that recalls Bruce Campbell at his buffest, Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer should have horror fans eager for a little low-budget monster mash chomping at the bit. They won't be disappointed." — Globe and Mail Posted Jul 25, 2008 |

| Space Chimps (2008) | "
Worse are the chimps themselves. Their bodies are realistic in all the wrong ways, with grotesque appendages and unpleasantly textured fur, while the expressions on their unadorable mugs are entirely devoid of humanity." — Globe and Mail Posted Jul 18, 2008 |

As an epic action movie, Mongol is satisfying enough. Think Braveheart. Think 300. Just don't think too much." — Globe and Mail Posted Jun 6, 2008 |

| Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008) | "
Where in the world is Morgan Spurlock's head? Occasionally, during this exasperating and goofy documentary, it seems squarely on his shoulders. Most of the time, however, it's firmly lodged up another part of his anatomy." — Globe and Mail Posted May 16, 2008 |

| The Visitor (2008) | "
The film becomes less about the suffering of immigrants who have never enjoyed the embrace of Ellis Island than the righteous indignation of a liberal intelligentsia raging against its own powerlessness." — Globe and Mail Posted Apr 25, 2008 |

For [director Eugene] Jarecki, it’s easier, both cinematically and intellectually, to take refuge in the notion of an American empire. But such abstractions obscure the fact that there are real people losing lives -- and real people who want to take them." — CBC.ca Arts Posted Nov 4, 2006 |

Black Gold, a compelling documentary about the international coffee industry, might discourage you from ever drinking a cup of joe again. At the very least, it'll make you think deeply about what's going into that cup." — Globe and Mail Posted Aug 4, 2006 |
