Restless (2007) 17% 2/4 EDIT “” – Globe and Mail Nov 28, 2008 Full Review Made in Jamaica (2006) 67% 2/4 EDIT “An affectionate if largely unsatisfying exploration of the musical genre's evolution.” – Globe and Mail Oct 31, 2008 Full Review Jellyfish (2007) 89% 3.5/4 EDIT “Thematically, it's extremely precise, and one of its most compelling themes is the failure, or uselessness, of language.” – Globe and Mail Aug 8, 2008 Full Review Bottle Shock (2008) 48% 2/4 EDIT “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 Aug 6, 2008 Full Review The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008) 66% 2.5/4 EDIT “Their tear-jerking adventures [are] appealing to even the staunchest chick-lit antagonist.” – Globe and Mail Aug 6, 2008 Full Review Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (2007) 61% 2.5/4 EDIT “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 Jul 25, 2008 Full Review Space Chimps (2008) 33% 1/4 EDIT “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 Jul 18, 2008 Full Review Mongol (2007) 86% 2.5/4 EDIT “As an epic action movie, Mongol is satisfying enough. Think Braveheart. Think 300. Just don't think too much.” – Globe and Mail Jun 6, 2008 Full Review Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden? (2008) 38% 2/4 EDIT “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 May 16, 2008 Full Review Prom Wars (2008) 1/4 EDIT “Michael Cera, please give your old cast mate Shawkat a call. Save her.” – Globe and Mail May 9, 2008 Full Review The Visitor (2007) 89% 2.5/4 EDIT “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 Apr 25, 2008 Full Review Never Back Down (2008) 21% 1.5/4 EDIT “Mr. Miyagi would not be pleased.” – Globe and Mail Mar 14, 2008 Full Review How She Move (2007) 67% 2.5/4 EDIT “You might see the ending of How She Move coming from the first frame, but you'll tap your toes the entire way.” – Globe and Mail Jan 25, 2008 Full Review National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) 35% 1.5/4 EDIT “Tepid and predictable though the action largely is, Bartha provides intermittent comic relief and Mirren is her usual droll self.” – Globe and Mail Dec 21, 2007 Full Review Terror's Advocate (2007) 87% 3.5/4 EDIT “The lawyer's intense isolation, his solitary, perverse rage against the world, against France, against conventional opinion, is felt most deeply.” – Globe and Mail Nov 16, 2007 Full Review P2 (2007) 35% 1/4 EDIT “The majority of [director Khalfoun's] chase and fight scenes are so artlessly staged that they render suspense moot.” – Globe and Mail Nov 9, 2007 Full Review The Bubble (2006) 55% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's as if Fox sets out to punish his characters for their ignorance, abandoning a sensitive and occasionally surprising love story in favour of political clich.” – Globe and Mail Nov 2, 2007 Full Review War (2007) 14% 1/4 EDIT “An irrelevant, joyless bore.” – Globe and Mail Aug 24, 2007 Full Review Bride of Silence (2005) 1.5/4 EDIT “So much is told -- and even if it's in deliberate conflict with what is shown, the film bogs down in often unnecessary information and superfluous dialogue.” – Globe and Mail Jul 6, 2007 Full Review Fast Food Nation (2006) 49% 2/4 EDIT “A frustratingly toothless film whose heart is in the right place even if its head isn't.” – Globe and Mail Nov 17, 2006 Full Review Why We Fight (2005) 78% EDIT “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 News Nov 4, 2006 Full Review The Science of Sleep (2006) 71% 2.5/4 EDIT “[Gondry] understands the bittersweet pleasures of unrequited love, how love unattained is always love untainted. Possibility perpetually exists. Dream logic? Perhaps.” – Globe and Mail Sep 22, 2006 Full Review Black Gold (2006) 84% 2.5/4 EDIT “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 Aug 4, 2006 Full Review
