The Secret Life of Pets (2016) 70% EDIT “It's like Toy Story without the lament for childhood things: pretty disposable stuff.” – Georgia Straight Jul 7, 2016 Full Review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016) 38% EDIT “How many villains does a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel need? Five? Really?” – Georgia Straight Jun 8, 2016 Full Review Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016) 65% EDIT “For every smart dig the film gets in at sexism, it digs its own grave as a comedy. We can't pick a side when both sides have good intentions.” – Georgia Straight May 25, 2016 Full Review Ratchet & Clank (2016) 22% EDIT “Young gamers might not mind all the competing colours and sounds, but their parents might need a stiff drink in a dark room afterwards.” – Georgia Straight May 4, 2016 Full Review No Escape (2015) 47% EDIT “It's the anti-Mission: Impossible, and for a while it's really gripping and refreshing.” – Georgia Straight Aug 26, 2015 Full Review Whole New Thing (2005) 64% 4/5 EDIT “The characters are all original and memorable.” – eye WEEKLY Sep 24, 2005 Full Review Eve & the Fire Horse (2005) 77% 3/5 EDIT “While the Catholic lore in this film may be wonky, the relationship between the young Chinese-Canadian sisters who try on Catholicism in a bid to safeguard their family is bang-on.” – eye WEEKLY Sep 10, 2005 Full Review The Far Side of the Moon (2003) 81% 4.5/5 EDIT “Lepage's adaptation of his own stage play distills his typically grandiose ideas and visual quirks into a masterfully cohesive and entertaining film.” – eye WEEKLY May 22, 2004 Full Review The Middle of the World (2003) 58% 1.5/5 EDIT “Not one character seems like a fully realized human being, let alone a likeable one.” – eye WEEKLY Apr 9, 2004 Full Review Welcome to Mooseport (2004) 13% 2/5 EDIT “The script is so weak, so illogical, so bereft of actual humour that it takes the considerable charm of the cast merely to prop it up.” – eye WEEKLY Apr 9, 2004 Full Review Osama (2003) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Wears you out in a way that would be considered heartless and manipulative if it weren't also (mostly) true.” – eye WEEKLY Apr 9, 2004 Full Review Secret Window (2004) 46% 3/5 EDIT “Good thing the people serving this utilitarian story have the wit to dress it up a little and make it dance.” – eye WEEKLY Apr 9, 2004 Full Review Starsky & Hutch (2004) 63% 3/5 EDIT “If you like Stiller and Wilson, you'll find enough to like about this film. If you don't, you can always just gawk at that awesome car.” – eye WEEKLY Apr 9, 2004 Full Review Gaz Bar Blues (2003) 100% 3/4 EDIT “” – eye WEEKLY Feb 11, 2004 Full Review One From the Heart (1982) 50% 1.5/5 EDIT “It's even worse now, when its perms and polyester mark it as dated as its sexual politics.” – eye WEEKLY Jan 15, 2004 Full Review House of Sand and Fog (2003) 74% 2.5/5 EDIT “It falls apart in the third act when plot decays into melodrama.” – eye WEEKLY Jan 15, 2004 Full Review Something's Gotta Give (2003) 72% 3/5 EDIT “Despite the flawed premise and sitcomish plot, this film has an undeniable charm.” – eye WEEKLY Jan 15, 2004 Full Review The Singing Detective (2003) 40% 3.5/5 EDIT “A flawed yet mesmerizing adaptation of the 1986 BBC mini-series.” – eye WEEKLY Jan 15, 2004 Full Review In the Cut (2003) 35% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's an experiment that's only partially successful. As a character study, In the Cut is sublime; as a murder mystery, however, the film is slightly ridiculous.” – eye WEEKLY Jan 15, 2004 Full Review Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) 62% 2.5/5 EDIT “The only real depth here is in Lane's ability to convey lingering heartache despite having little call to do so from the script.” – eye WEEKLY Jan 15, 2004 Full Review Peter Pan (2003) 77% 1.5/5 EDIT “Hogan's adapation is likely faithful to a fault: it goes through the motions of the story without seeming to have any reason for telling it.” – eye WEEKLY Jan 15, 2004 Full Review Elf (2003) 85% 4/5 EDIT “It's just good, clean fun.” – eye WEEKLY Jan 15, 2004 Full Review The Secret Lives of Dentists (2002) 85% 4/5 EDIT “One of those quietly brilliant indies, so small in scope that it takes a little extra attention to appreciate how deeply it plunges into its characters.” – eye WEEKLY Jan 15, 2004 Full Review Pieces of April (2003) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “Skips along, propelled by sharp humour and performances.” – eye WEEKLY Jan 15, 2004 Full Review Go Further (2003) 57% 2/5 EDIT “Harrelson's environmental truths are taken as self-evident, and his private life off-limits, which makes for a doc that's neither educational nor especially compelling.” – eye WEEKLY Nov 20, 2003 Full Review
