Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
2.5/4 89% After Tiller (2013) " It's humanizing and heartbreaking." — Globe and Mail
Posted Oct 4, 2013
34% Salinger (2013) " When [Salerno] drops the stylistic overkill and lets these people talk about Salinger, what emerges is a riveting picture of a contradictory, deeply selfish, troubled man." — Globe and Mail
Posted Sep 20, 2013
3/4 —— A People Uncounted () " Yeger's doc offers a sobering, often harrowing understanding of a people and the workings of genocide." — Globe and Mail
Posted Aug 9, 2013
2/4 64% Epic (2013) " Children may enjoy it, but even they will be able to see all the boxes it systematically ticks." — Globe and Mail
Posted May 24, 2013
2/4 35% Peeples (2013) " Chism doesn't know when to step on the gas and just go for belly laughs." — Globe and Mail
Posted May 10, 2013
2.5/4 38% Paris Manhattan (2013) " The premise of Paris-Manhattan is simple enough; unfortunately, so is everything else about writer-director Sophie Lellouche's debut feature film." — Globe and Mail
Posted Apr 12, 2013
3/4 86% Wreck-it Ralph (2012) " It's impossible not to feel a strong sense of nostalgic amusement, if not sheer delight, at the comings and goings of all these characters." — Globe and Mail
Posted Nov 2, 2012
1.5/4 —— The Prodigies (La Nuit Des Enfants Rois) () " The Prodigies pulls together a lot of familiar tropes from superhero movies without adding anything new or compelling to the genre." — Globe and Mail
Posted Feb 24, 2012
0.5/4 7% New Year's Eve (2011) " This New Year's Eve leaves you feeling like you've got no one to kiss at midnight." — Globe and Mail
Posted Dec 9, 2011
2.5/4 69% A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas (2011) " The laughs may not be as strong as they were the first time, and the sense of discovering something fantastically illicit may have faded to mellow, familiar charms that come with the occasional giggle fit, but that's life as a stoner comedy." — Globe and Mail
Posted Nov 11, 2011
1.52/4 —— Afghan Luke (2012) " Few people will gain a greater understanding of Canada's war from this movie. There are a handful of worthy moments, but it's too bogged down in cliché." — Globe and Mail
Posted Sep 23, 2011
3/4 65% Starbuck (2013) " Scott deftly balances David's ridiculous mission with moments of real tenderness, making for several heartfelt moments that help carry you past the fact that such a situation couldn't possibly have the ending it does." — Globe and Mail
Posted Sep 8, 2011
2.5/4 29% Machine Gun Preacher (2011) " [Marc Forster]is constrained by reality, and so is left with a story that lacks much of a satisfying climax or anything like a proper ending. " — Globe and Mail
Posted Sep 8, 2011
3/4 63% Another Earth (2011) " The metaphysics function as a metaphor in what's an affecting -- if slow-moving -- drama about having to live with the choices we make and our need to find redemption. " — Globe and Mail
Posted Jul 29, 2011
2.5/4 82% Bugs! (Bugs! 3D) (Bugs! A Rainforest Adventure) (2003) " Much of what bugs do, unfortunately, isn't all that interesting." — Globe and Mail
