Review of Khadak (2006)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

For sheer visual excitement, it's difficult to top Peter Brosens and Jessica Woodworth's film Khadak…

Review of Meatballs (1979)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

I can't really say Meatballs is a great film, it's a silly, stupid summer movie, and sometimes, that's exactly what you need…

Review of Act of God (1980)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

For a documentary that's ostensibly about people being struck by lightning, it's a quiet and deeply philosophical treatise, filled with subtle…

Review of Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

Mr. Bean's Holiday is not a great film, it has its moments, but it offers an odd type of comfort…

Review of Dance Party, USA (2006)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

first impressions can be misleading, and underneath the blatant misogyny and nasty talk lurks some genuine feeling…

Review of Enchanted (2007)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

Director Kevin Lima's new film Enchanted is seemingly made for all the women who grew up on fairytale endings…

Review of Reel Injun (2010)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

But in amongst this collection of white actors in red face, and Sicilians pretending to be native elders, something rather remarkable emerges,…

Review of Flow: For Love of Water (2008)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

[Canadian writer/activist ] Maude Barlow does provide a voice of sanity and tenacity in a world seemingly gone mad with greed…

Review of Who Is KK Downey? (2008)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

It's silly, over the top, and immensely self-amused, a lot like those skinny little hipsters on Main Street that clog every restaurant, and…

Review of U (2006)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

U is a lyrical and strange film, hand-painted and extremely lovely in a languid, very French fashion…

Review of Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (2007)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

Co-written and co-produced by Trevor Matthews, who also plays the title character, the film has some obvious problems…

Review of Passenger Side (2009)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

[Passenger Side] does not force anything, but rather allows it to reveal itself, in its own sweet time…

Review of Inside Hana's Suitcase (2009)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

That's what art does -- it helps to shape the raw and often unbearable material of reality, into a symbolic story that takes on a life of its…

Review of Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

while Vicky Cristina Barcelona isn't entirely a return to form, it is interesting enough to stick in one's brain…

Review of Black White + Gray: A Portrait of Sam Wagstaff and Robert Mapplethorpe (2007)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

Good taste is examined in all its implications in James Crump's elegant documentary Black White + Gray: A Portrait of Sam Wagstaff and Robert…

Review of Food, Inc. (2008)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

As a film, it functions almost to snow you under with bits of little-examined, often unconnected ideas…

Review of Little Darlings (1980)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

Female solidarity rules in the end, and as corny as that may sound, it's actually quite sweet…

Review of Circus Rosaire (2007)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

The Rosaires seem to have developed an almost uncanny bond with the animals they work with, and this deep and abiding love and affection is…

Review of How to Cook Your Life (2007)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

Salient points about the nature of food and culture are gently made, but the tone of the film is never preachy nor didactic, and the correlations…

Review of Starting Out in the Evening (2007)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 21 Aug 2017

For all its sturm and drang, there is an elegiac quality about the film, maybe because fewer and fewer people apparently care very much about…
