Skyfall (2012) 92% EDIT “Everything is heavy and dark, but Bond plus terrorists is damn entertaining.” – Georgia Straight Oct 5, 2015 Full Review Disaster Movie (2008) 1% EDIT “Disaster Movie is one doo-doo that can't be undid, homeskillet.” – Georgia Straight Jun 4, 2013 Full Review The Campaign (2012) 66% EDIT “Really stupid, funny things happen that'll make you laugh when you're thinking about them later, alone and scared in the world.” – Georgia Straight Jan 22, 2013 Full Review Project X (2012) 29% EDIT “We wonder how they and the movie can possibly pull off a party so deranged we'll totally wish we were there, taking our clothes off.” – Georgia Straight Mar 6, 2012 Full Review W.E. (2011) 12% EDIT “Considering that W.E.'s dialogue is self-conscious, frothy snippets rather than real conversation attached to real drama, Riseborough is rather excellent.” – Georgia Straight Mar 6, 2012 Full Review Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) 96% EDIT “This show, in all its surprisingly moving gravity and beauty, belongs to the three young actors at its centre who've held their own since it all began.” – Georgia Straight Jul 18, 2011 Full Review African Cats (2011) 73% EDIT “The filmmakers play us fragile types by alternating "awww" moments of adorable cubs with menace that is, yes, sometimes deadly (generally off-screen).” – Georgia Straight Apr 25, 2011 Full Review Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire (2009) 92% EDIT “It's a deeply heart-busting story about finding self-realization.” – Georgia Straight Apr 4, 2011 Full Review The Eagle (2011) 39% EDIT “Luckily, director Kevin Macdonald quickly distracts with a little of the old ultraviolence when longhaired locals attack the fort and the Romans go into those cool fighting formations that are always so transfixing.” – Georgia Straight Apr 4, 2011 Full Review Season of the Witch (2011) 11% EDIT “Seriously, don't you always think that the powerful demon or witch or whatever could really just zap the humans immediately and go have lunch?” – Georgia Straight Apr 4, 2011 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2010) 99% EDIT “Most magical is the funny, tender bond between the uncool teen and the wildly cool, beguiling black dragon, Toothless. News bulletin: we don't have to kill everything we're scared of! And we might just get the thrill ride of our geekiest dreams.” – Georgia Straight Apr 4, 2011 Full Review Sucker Punch (2011) 22% EDIT “The sucker punch is to our retinas, eardrums, and tiny, tender brain cells.” – Georgia Straight Mar 27, 2011 Full Review Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (2011) 66% EDIT “This surprisingly captivating documentary about the floppy-haired one just might convert the Biebz haters.” – Georgia Straight Feb 14, 2011 Full Review Bratz (2007) 10% EDIT “It spouts mush about being true to your friends and to yourself but admits you also need awesome clothes.” – Georgia Straight Jul 7, 2010 Full Review The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) 63% EDIT “The fantastical, messy, noisy, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink result might be a tad crazy-making for some, but fans of Brazil, Time Bandits, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen can step right up.” – Georgia Straight Jul 7, 2010 Full Review Max Payne (2008) 16% EDIT “Some of these slow-mo-shooter moments, however, veer toward parody.” – Georgia Straight Jul 7, 2010 Full Review Brothers (2009) 63% EDIT “Brothers has painful things on the brain, but it's the intimate moments that hit deepest in a story that shifts between the war in Afghanistan and pent-up family angst back in the good old U.S. of A.” – Georgia Straight Jul 6, 2010 Full Review The Dark Knight (2008) 94% EDIT “With his sliced visage, enough knives to supply a steak-house chain, and makeup that makes Courtney Love's bad days look pretty, this Joker is the picture of pure evil.” – Georgia Straight Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Duplicity (2009) 65% EDIT “A brain-bending, sleekly twisted puzzle.” – Georgia Straight Jul 6, 2010 Full Review My Life in Ruins (2009) 10% EDIT “A less than Homeric odyssey.” – Georgia Straight Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Vice (2008) 29% EDIT “A muddled, murky film by writer-director Raul Inglis that can't blame its consistent incomprehensibility on the rain.” – Georgia Straight Jul 6, 2010 Full Review The Fourth Kind (2009) 18% EDIT “The eerie-jumpy bits simply don't pan out satisfyingly or convincingly.” – Georgia Straight Jul 6, 2010 Full Review My Sister's Keeper (2009) 47% EDIT “Yes, unabashed weeper My Sister's Keeper has that Hollywood sheen -- but it's the unexpectedly piercing realness of this family's anguish that's going to get you. Just try to hold back the waterworks.” – Georgia Straight Jul 6, 2010 Full Review The Legend of Zorro (2005) 27% EDIT “The two stars exert remarkable energy, but they're undermined by a convoluted story that doesn't really matter.” – Georgia Straight Dec 10, 2005 Full Review Mindhunters (2004) 25% EDIT “The best thing that can be said about losing 106 minutes to the brain-numbing Mindhunters is that you have a really stellar excuse to grab the nearest bottle of Finlandia afterwards to forget it all. You may need more than a twenty-sixer, though.” – Georgia Straight Jun 11, 2005 Full Review
