The Abyss (1989) 76% EDIT “It's technically flawless, utterly riveting and one of the best love stories ever put to film.” – Toronto Star Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Darkman III: Die Darkman Die (1996) 39% EDIT “Not nearly as much fun as Darkman II: The Return of Durant.” – Toronto Star Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Darkman II: The Return of Durant (1995) 48% EDIT “Darkman II is fast-paced, witty sequel that comes very close to recapturing the original's berserk energy. I thought it was way fun.” – Toronto Star Sep 12, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) 47% EDIT “A pure fright machine, with outstanding use of the anamorphic. ” – Toronto Star Jul 15, 2025 Full Review Red Rock West (1993) 95% EDIT “John Dahl's variation on the classic double-cross structure of '40s film noir is a work of precise writing and directing.” – Toronto Star Jul 15, 2025 Full Review The Next Karate Kid (1994) 20% 3/5 EDIT “Better than you'd expect from a series that should have breathed its last two pictures ago. ” – Toronto Star May 30, 2025 Full Review Dirty Work (1998) 21% EDIT “It's Norm Macdonald who makes Dirty Work work -- without him, it really would be just another bad low-budget comedy starring some guy from Saturday Night Live.” – Toronto Star May 15, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 67% EDIT “Everyone's terrific -- especially Redgrave, who's clearly enjoying both her dialogue and her paycheck.” – Toronto Star May 6, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (1993) 94% EDIT “Director Ang Lee keeps things endearingly light and innocent.” – Toronto Star Apr 15, 2025 Full Review American Psycho (2000) 68% EDIT “Christian Bale is flat-out terrific... it's a shame the movie's not up to his level.” – Toronto Star Apr 4, 2025 Full Review American Psycho 2 (2002) 23% EDIT “Having survived the infamous Patrick Bateman, a plucky co-ed becomes a slayer in her own right in this entirely unnecessary sequel.” – Toronto Star Apr 1, 2025 Full Review I Think I Do (1997) 42% 3/4 EDIT “For the most part, it works.” – Toronto Star Apr 17, 2024 Full Review The Mask (1961) 67% 2/5 EDIT “It's of strictly historical interest.” – NOW Toronto May 8, 2023 Full Review Poor Agnes (2017) 70% 3/5 EDIT “Ramaswaran understands the appeal of Burke’s testy, impatient antihero he knows we’ll be willing to overlook an awful lot just to see where things end up for her. When Agnes is on screen, nothing else matters. Lucky her.” – NOW Toronto Feb 6, 2023 Full Review Wild Things (1998) 65% 4/5 EDIT “Wild Things is the kind of movie that gives gratuitous sex and violence a good name. ” – Toronto Star Feb 2, 2023 Full Review The Outside Story (2020) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Henry – an invaluable ensemble player in everything from Atlanta and Widows to Spider-Man and Godzilla Vs. Kong – is quietly great in his first leading role, and Nozkowski keeps the tone pleasantly busy rather than panicked.” – NOW Toronto Mar 29, 2022 Full Review Eat Wheaties! (2021) 67% 3/5 EDIT “Ultimately, the movie is as odd as its hero, with a supporting cast filled with gifted comic players.” – NOW Toronto Mar 29, 2022 Full Review The Batman (2022) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves return the caped crusader to his roots as an obsessive detective with this complex, intriguing reboot.” – NOW Toronto Mar 5, 2022 Full Review Kimi (2022) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Soderbergh’s Kimi is a crackling thriller – and an acting showcase for its star.” – NOW Toronto Feb 17, 2022 Full Review Death on the Nile (2022) 62% 2/5 EDIT “But the simmering energy of the previous film is gone. Death On The Nile is ultimately a movie about actors sitting around in rooms, waiting for their monologue.” – NOW Toronto Feb 17, 2022 Full Review Uncharted (2022) 41% 3/5 EDIT “If you've been wondering what a Tomb Raider movie would look like if it starred Peter Parker, here's your answer: weirdly familiar!” – NOW Toronto Feb 17, 2022 Full Review The Tender Bar (2021) 51% 3/5 EDIT “You'll enjoy The Tender Bar, and two days later you'll be struggling to remember a single thing that happens in it. I guess that's okay.” – NOW Toronto Jan 11, 2022 Full Review The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) 93% 4/5 EDIT “McDormand similarly rips into Lady Macbeth with the zeal of someone who's always wondered how she'd handle the role. Turns out she's a natural.” – NOW Toronto Dec 31, 2021 Full Review The King's Man (2021) 41% 1/5 EDIT “You could celebrate the season watching Ralph Fiennes in one of the dumbest movies of the year, but why would you want to?” – NOW Toronto Dec 23, 2021 Full Review Nightmare Alley (2021) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Guillermo del Toro's Nightmare Alley is not for everyone. But in the right light, it's a treasure.” – NOW Toronto Dec 21, 2021 Full Review
