Review of Noah (2015)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 01 Jul 2014

Aronofsky manages to transform a story, hokey on paper and even on reflection, into a spiritual flood-saga that's pretty damned immersive and…

Review of Noah (2013)

Review of Noah (2014)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 01 Jul 2014

Review of Pompeii (2014)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 01 Jul 2014

Rapidly burnt by a volcanically ludicrous story, Pompeii rumbles and crumbles, over-baking itself into a frothy crisp--puffery on the outside…

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) (50) on 01 Jul 2014

This dystopia flick offers a pseudo-allegory for teenagehood along with a predictable plot, bland setting, and pat romance…

Review of Being John Malkovich (1999)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 07 Feb 2014

There's something fantastically proto-Internet about this romantic-dramedy of flop-sweat desperation, role-playing, simulation and eccentric,…

Review of Devil's Due (2014)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 07 Feb 2014

A by-the-blueprint Prenatal Activity stalking a boring white couple as Satan's spawn gestates in her womb…

Review of The Night of the Hunter (1955)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 07 Feb 2014

Laughton's only film makes up, in atmospherics and its horribly righteous wrongdoer, for lapses into talkiness and staginess…

Review of Quadrophenia (1979)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 27 Dec 2013

Roddam's look back at an angsty young man in '65 is a throwback to the kitchen-sink dramas that began plumbing the depths of lower-class lives…

Review of Last Vegas (2013)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 27 Dec 2013

All the glitzing-up and trading-off of Vegas's allure blinds and bleaches out what isn't nearly as bad as it could've been…

Review of Escape from Tomorrow (2013)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 27 Dec 2013

Mainly a one-trick Goofy-show, connecting a famous family-fun park with adult voyeurism, paranoid delusions and sexual obsession…

Review of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (2013)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 27 Dec 2013

Should be re-titled Periods of Satire, Broken by Scattered Jokes of Varying Quality, Sun-Burning Colour and Sudden Storm-Surge-Pacing…

Review of Ghost in the Shell (1995)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 27 Dec 2013

Not about haunting impermanence but hollowness and fluidity…

Review of Drug War (2012)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 27 Dec 2013

A nicely tangled, smartly paced and cold little thriller-nothing more, nothing less…

Review of Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (2013)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 27 Dec 2013

Stuffs male jackassery into a paper-thin piñata of a contrived plot, then blindly bashes us over the head, again and again, with a stick marked…

Review of The Hunt (2013)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) (50) on 27 Dec 2013

It's a maddening, strangely riveting cinematic experience to follow a man wrongly accused of a crime that could stain his name forever…

Review of Chicken with Plums (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 27 Dec 2013

Suffused with longing and whimsy, Chicken with Plum's tone can get a little stretched; it can be a touch twee, even cautious…

Review of Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 27 Dec 2013

Grotesque and macabre thrills here, but not a fantasy-masterpiece…

Review of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) (50) on 27 Dec 2013

A trilogy sinks under the middle-weight of its sheer desolation, becoming baggy, boggy, saggy and smaugy…

Review of Barbarella (1968)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 27 Dec 2013

A Flash Gordon-meets-Oz kitsch-fest stripping women's sexual revolution down to voyeuristic spectacle, flimsily dressed in cheap, see-through,…
