---|---|---|---|
C | No Score Yet | Mark Twain and Me (1991) |
As a coming-of-age drama, Mark Twain and Me is sensitive and handsomely made, but any movie that reduces Mark Twain to a plot device has some growing up of its own to do. - Entertainment Weekly

52% | The Fountain (2006) |
Told in nonlinear fashion, the story keeps us waiting for revelations about what's really going on -- but these are few and far between. This problem is exacerbated by the artificiality of just about everything that we see. - Georgia Straight

89% | The Usual Suspects (1995) |
The Usual Suspects expertly combines the complicated narrative structure of D.O.A. with the quirky, hard-boiled characters of Pickup on South Street. - Georgia Straight

60% | Rhapsody in August (1991) |
Rhapsody in August is an old man's film in the best possible sense. Though it stares death straight in the face, it is primarily interested in life. - Georgia Straight

86% | Un Conte de Noël (A Christmas Tale) (2008) |
There isn't a convincing note in the entire film, but there's no denying that each bit of dramatic fakery glitters and hums. A bit like Christmas itself, actually, which might just be the point. - Georgia Straight

A- | 96% | Rosemary's Baby (1968) |
Polanski worked with an elegant restraint that less talented filmmakers have been trying to mimic ever since. - Entertainment Weekly

74% | Joyeux Noël (Merry Christmas) (2006) |
Although such a scenario opens the door to massive amounts of cliché and sentimentality, the writer-director of this piece skillfully avoids every possible pitfall, stoutly resisting the temptation to fall mushily in. - Georgia Straight

B- | 43% | The Village (2004) |
What really lurks within those woods is (fear not: no spoilers here) a very mixed bag. - Entertainment Weekly
