Review of Hugo (2012)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 12 Jan 2012

Scorsese, now in the winter of his career, has tapped into his own childlike passion for film with this late-period masterpiece…

Review of The Descendants (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) (50) on 12 Jan 2012

Dwells on how, just beneath the surface of that teen who seems a shrugging idiot or that woman who seems an everyday mom, there rustles an…

Review of Hugo (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 12 Jan 2012

Scorsese, now in the winter of his career, has tapped into his own childlike passion for film with this late-period masterpiece…

Review of Akira (1988)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 12 Jan 2012

Moments that can only be captured as animation make Akira still worth watching: gusts of wind from chopper blades, ka-tooming bursts of fiery…

Review of Young Adult (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 12 Jan 2012

Tragicomically stares on at this lost alcoholic, drifting through a hollow strip-mall world but groping back for her teenage days in narcissistic…

Review of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 12 Jan 2012

Matched Kubrick's photographic eye to a story about watching, transformed him into a director of the epic, and made one giant leap in sci-fi…

Review of In Time (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) (50) on 11 Nov 2011

This alternate world's hollowness drains the movie, blanching the noir. Cheesy, corny moments pop up throughout…

Review of Real Steel (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) (50) on 11 Nov 2011

Characters' smug, this-is-so-cool!ness and jingoistic, heartland subtext tries to knock us into submission…

Review of Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 11 Nov 2011

The tension is slowly bled out, the metacommentary on movies' phantom power is eerie, and the directors capture a creepiness in the sleepy,…

Review of Moneyball (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 11 Nov 2011

A sports movie about disappointment and falling just short. Manages to make the dealing, stealing, and brain-wheeling in stadium offices enthralling…

Review of Dolphin Tale (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 11 Nov 2011

Sometimes drifts into the emotional shallows rather than letting its 'inspired by a true story' soar on its own…

Review of A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 11 Nov 2011

Offers rolling-paper-thin female characters. Ethnic stereotypes are lazily snowballed at us…

Review of Manhattan (1979)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 11 Nov 2011

A film with a sharp look and some glinting lines…

Review of Abduction (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 11 Nov 2011

Boring fugitive action-flick meets insipid teen romance…

Review of Sarah's Key (2010)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 21 Sep 2011

Loses some force in its latter half but the key story remains gripping…

Review of The Skin I Live In (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 21 Sep 2011

An intriguing, sometimes haunting trans-genre experiment, but the Spanish director's grafting of the revenge-thriller and Gothic-horror onto…

Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 21 Sep 2011

Dumb crosscutting, a sickening, stupid rape scene, and the inane addition of a Steinbeck-ian subplot make the movie a cheap, exploitative build-up…

Review of Friends (With Benefits) (2010)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 31 Aug 2011

It's got witty moments and (for an American picture) some relaxed, funny, nearly realistic sex scenes but it's too slickly self-aware and intently…

Review of The Smurfs (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 31 Aug 2011

As the Smuppets take Manhattan, the script runs a blue streak of snappy self-marketing and sappy smurfimentalism…

Review of Friends with Benefits (2011)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) (50) on 31 Aug 2011

It's got witty moments and (for an American picture) some relaxed, funny, nearly realistic sex scenes but it's too slickly self-aware and intently…
