Review of Olympus Has Fallen (2013)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 05 May 2013

A fiery pile of turdy dialogue, turgid action, and xenophobic boosterism for the frequently 'God bless!'-ed US of A…

Review of The Host (2013)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 05 May 2013

Beyond Meyer's trite-and-untrue formula (supernatural love triangle, exotic locale, family values and kisses as daring and transgressive),…

Review of The Host (2015)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 05 May 2013

Beyond Meyer's trite-and-untrue formula (supernatural love triangle, exotic locale, family values and kisses as daring and transgressive),…

Review of Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 05 May 2013

Imagine the elaborate plan: 'We use the sets left over from Red Riding Hood, add a candy house, throw in some aerial forest shots out of Twilight,…

Review of Side Effects (2015)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 05 May 2013

Even when it twists back to Hitchcockland, there's more than enough lingering spookiness about a culture's dependence on prescription drugs…

Review of Dark Skies (2013)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 05 May 2013

What body-snatches this beyond being another haunted-home flick is the attention to family breakdown rather than another scare around the next…

Review of Oldboy (2003)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 05 May 2013

Vengeance here's a clever, evolving beast…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 05 May 2013

Even when it twists back to Hitchcockland, there's more than enough lingering spookiness about a culture's dependence on prescription drugs…

Review of 56 Up (2012)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 05 May 2013

56 Up has become a stirring reflection, even tribute, to the little bends and turns of ordinariness, the ebbs and surges of everyday lives…

Review of Battle for Brooklyn (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 05 May 2013

Battle for Brooklyn earns its epic-sounding title, building, block by block, a sturdy, gritty little film about the impassioned fight to ensure…

Review of Movie 43 (2013)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 05 May 2013

An execrable waste cooked up by a hell's kitchen of directors and writers. It's death-of-laughter by committee. Its title…

Review of A Royal Affair (2012)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 05 May 2013

Out of some dry lines, Shakespearean allusions, and its playing with statecraft as stagecraft, this slowly emerges as more than just some ruffle-collared,…

Review of Bullet to the Head (2012)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 05 May 2013

The roar dies into a hollow echo, the growl gets gutturally one-note and the grit becomes B-movie background…

Review of Rise of the Guardians (2012)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 29 Jan 2013

The animation's usually a visual delight…

Review of Pusher (2012)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 29 Jan 2013

Sniffing into the seams of England's multiculti capital, it's best at showing the grungy, hustling-and-bustling city as a place of slowly uncoiling…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 29 Jan 2013

Apatow's works often involve stand-up riffs on a subject, dropped into a movie…

Review of Gangster Squad (2013)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 29 Jan 2013

Comes off as a hollow masquerade, play-acting at machismo for nearly two hours…

Review of Life of Pi (2012)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 29 Jan 2013

Takes some time to find its flow…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 29 Jan 2013

Whenever this movie suffers from lengthy prequel-itis and a weighty sense of expectations, it falls short…

Review of Les Misérables (2012)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 29 Jan 2013

So many close-ups, it seems better made for TV. Scene transitions are non-existent; the pace is relentless…
