Seven (1995) 84% 3/4 EDIT “Seven's concentration on sin would not have suffered from the old-fashioned virtues of strong characters and compelling story that makes The Usual Suspects such an irresistible entertainment.” – Toronto Star Mar 28, 2024 Full Review The Uninvited (2009) 31% 2/4 EDIT “The premise is seaworthy, but the execution flounders.” – Toronto Star Jan 30, 2009 Full Review Delgo (2008) 12% 2/4 EDIT “This flick is like a cheap thriller where the wisecracks always fall flat and the author couldn't be bothered to invent a new plot, so he just patches together some old ones.” – Toronto Star Dec 12, 2008 Full Review Nobel Son (2007) 25% 3/4 EDIT “Nobel Son is as darkly funny as it is exhilarating.” – Toronto Star Dec 5, 2008 Full Review Four Christmases (2008) 25% 2/4 EDIT “It's Four Christmases in need of a wedding, or maybe a funeral.” – Toronto Star Nov 26, 2008 Full Review Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008) 37% 2.5/4 EDIT “As it has evolved from a 10-minute cabaret piece, through a short film Bousman made in Toronto, to the big screen, Repo! The Genetic Opera has gained in both guts and gusto.” – Toronto Star Nov 21, 2008 Full Review I Can't Think Straight (2007) 18% 2/4 EDIT “Buildings and their interiors fare a lot better in this sumptuously lensed and set-designed film. That's because they don't have to talk or act.” – Toronto Star Nov 21, 2008 Full Review The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008) 65% 2.5/4 EDIT “That these boys could not fathom what was actually going on in the camps also rings true and is the reason why stories like this one must endure.” – Toronto Star Nov 7, 2008 Full Review The World Unseen (2007) 30% 2/4 EDIT “Less an account of hatred and injustice in apartheid-torn South Africa than it is a soap opera-ish romance that could easily be an episode of The L-Word.” – Toronto Star Nov 7, 2008 Full Review Brick Lane (2007) 68% 3.5/4 EDIT “Kaushik is remarkable as Chanu, a role that demands he be a buffoonish, yet loving man, intelligent beneath his self-aggrandizing attitudes, oversized ambitions and determined cheerfulness.” – Toronto Star Oct 18, 2008 Full Review And When Did You Last See Your Father? (2007) 72% 3.5/4 EDIT “The winning aspect of this adaptation of a best-selling autobiography is in the director's management of the points of view.” – Toronto Star Oct 18, 2008 Full Review The Secret of the Grain (2007) 92% 2/4 EDIT “After two and a half hours, The Secret of the Grain, ends, as arbitrarily as it began.” – Toronto Star Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) 93% 2.5/4 EDIT “Coming from the man who made his name as a director of often grim social-realist films such as Vera Drake, All or Nothing and Secrets & Lies, Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky strikes one as a film fantasy.” – Toronto Star Oct 17, 2008 Full Review The Secret Life of Bees (2008) 60% 2.5/4 EDIT “Quite a bit of honey is applied to make the awful truths palatable, but The Secret Life of Bees curtails the sappiness with performances -- especially Fanning's -- that are grounded in reality.” – Toronto Star Oct 17, 2008 Full Review An American Carol (2008) 13% 1/4 EDIT “Utterly asinine, sophomoric, tasteless, the movie has much in common with Zucker's Airplane!, The Naked Gun 2 1/2 and Scary Movie sequels, minus the laughs.” – Toronto Star Oct 13, 2008 Full Review All Together Now (2008) 3/4 EDIT “All Together Now enthrals. It also makes you want to fly to Las Vegas immediately and buy a ticket to LOVE.” – Toronto Star Oct 13, 2008 Full Review City of Ember (2008) 53% 2.5/4 EDIT “A thrilling adventure tale and teen fantasy that is grounded in real concerns about who is managing the planet.” – Toronto Star Oct 10, 2008 Full Review Blindness (2008) 44% 2.5/4 EDIT “This film rests uneasily between art and thriller, putting a huge burden on the actors, especially Julianne Moore, to convey the larger meaning of the story.” – Toronto Star Oct 3, 2008 Full Review Tell No One (2006) 93% 3/4 EDIT “Tell No One is a thoroughly absorbing whodunit with more twists and switchbacks than the Le Mans racecourse.” – Toronto Star Sep 26, 2008 Full Review Nights in Rodanthe (2008) 30% 1.5/4 EDIT “No character in this turbulent sea of love crashing on the shores of misfortune is any more developed than they are in Sparks' potboiler.” – Toronto Star Sep 26, 2008 Full Review Igor (2008) 40% 2/4 EDIT “Igor, like the Frankenstein's monster at the centre of its tired plot, looks like something cobbled together out of used, very used, parts.” – Toronto Star Sep 19, 2008 Full Review Outsourced (2006) 78% 2.5/4 EDIT “In the hands of a lesser director, the secondary characters, including Todd's matronly Indian landlady, might have been mere caricatures. Smart production design and camerawork enhance the sense of authenticity.” – Toronto Star Aug 29, 2008 Full Review 2.5/4 EDIT “French journalist Marie-Monique Robin takes a scattershot approach in her expos of Monsanto, an American multinational chemical and biotechnology company responsible for some of the most toxic and environmentally damaging products ever sold.” – Toronto Star Aug 1, 2008 Full Review Brideshead Revisited (2008) 62% 2.5/4 EDIT “Director Julian Jarrold and writers Jeremy Brock and Andrew Davies have not surpassed their predecessors, but neither have they done any lasting damage with their interpretation of the 1945 novel.” – Toronto Star Jul 25, 2008 Full Review The Last Mistress (2007) 77% 2/4 EDIT “A costume drama with an emphasis on costume over drama.” – Toronto Star Jul 25, 2008 Full Review
